in nothing but bankruptcy. This
is the condition which is actually
confronting the telephone com
panies today.
The cost of materials used by
telephone companies will remain
high. The index number stood
at 200 in March, 1919. AS long
as commodity prices remain
high, the cost of living and
wages will also remain high. A
raise in rates that would yield
an increase of 20 per cent in
gross revenue is necessary to re-
move the gross injustice OF the
present situation as regards the
telephone business.
The net increase of the indust-
rial, mercantile and miscellaneous
corporations reported to the
Commissioner of Internal Reg
enue of the United States in
creased from $2,897.61S,OOO in
1913 to S6,697, 100000 in 1916;
to SO, 3OO.OOO,OOO i'll 1917; to
81, 500, 900, 900 in 191 8; and it
is estimated will not fall below

incomes amounted to $500
100000 in 1917 as against $3,-

In view Of the fact that rs per
cent of all telephone revenues are
paid by the people who have
made these profits. it is neither

The Next Step in Price Revision.

The Next Step in Price Revision.
The time has arrived for the
readjustment of telephone rates.
Price readjustment is the absorb
ing and compelling problem of
the dav. At the outbreak OF the
European war the prices of
commodities had maintained for
years a relatively fixed relation
to each other and to the wages
of labor. The price system was
normal.
The events of the last four
years have torn prices from their
moorings, until the present sys-
tenn is widely different from the
one to which we were accustom
ed in prewar days.
The price of cloth and clothing
in September, 1918, stood at251
per cent OF 1913 prices; farm
products at 236 per cent; and
lumber and building materials
at 15S per cent. The prices of
of commodities which were fixed
by the government in July, 1917,
ard thereafter were 185 per cent
of 1913 prices. During the same
period general wages rose 70 per
cent.
Curiously enough, the index
numbers which showed these
prices do not include the prices
which public utility companies
received for the services which
thev render to the public. These
industries had their prices fixed,
even in the prewar period, fact
which seems to have been over
looked in the public excitement
over price fixing.
A comparison OF the movement
! of public utility rates with other
prices which were fixed by pub
lie authority will show at once
/ that here is a set of prices which
are sadly out OF joint and which
must be readjusted upward be-
fore the situation can become
normal and stable. No price
system is stable unless the prices
| of products maintain a certain
relation to the prices of labor
and material used in producing
them. No price can long endure
which does not cover the costs
of production including a reason
able return on capital invested.
The necessity for increasing
railroad rates was realized soon
after our entrance into the war
and they were increased by %
per cent. Street railway fares
have pretty generally been raised
by at least 20 per cent. The
! Postmaster General has made
an increase of 20 per cent IN tele-
graph rates. Telephone rates,
however, have been increased by
less than 10 per cent since the
prewar period.
While public regulation has
fixed the prices which telephone
companies may charge for their
service, it has not limited the
prices which they must paw for
abor and material. 1t requires
ONLY common sense to see that
an increase of less than 10 per
cent in rates and of rs per ce'ts
in operating expenses can resr4

character of the residents of the
neighborhoOd and above all the prob.
ability of that locality improving in
popularity, and consequently in value,
and whether or not the improvements
such as water and pavements, have
been made, all should be taken into
consideration.
Selection of Design.
The site chosen, then comes the
selection of the design for the home.
1t is not good policy to build $4,000
home on a $500 site; neither should
a $4,000 house be built on a $4,000
site. The house should be something
like in value the others in the neigh
borhood, for the reason that there
may come a time when it will be nee
essary to sell it.
Illustrated herewith is a modern
wood bungalow of six rooms, size
that will provide for the needs of the
average family and will be readily
salable should that be necessary
The dimensions of the bungalow are
% feet 6 inches, by 43 feet, which
allows plenty of lawn and garden
space on a 50-foot lot. The exterior
of this bungalow is exceptionally at
tractive, the wide porch across the
front, the long sweep of the roof ant
the dormer window in the attic al

The house is of standard wood con

brick pillars and cement steps. This
