Local District Manager, Paul |. Payne
of Frederick, gave out the following
statement concerning the raise:
1.-THE federal government assumed con-
troi of the property and business of this
company on August |, 1918. Since that
time it has been operated under govern
ment supervision. The act of congress
under which the government took over
the control provided that the corporation
should be paid just compensation for
the Use of its property, and contract
was made covering this compensation.
This contract provides for the upkeep of
the property, continuance of the past
high grade of service, and the payment
of interest and dividends at the same
rates as heretofore. Therefore, the mon
eys now collected for telephone service
belongs to the government.
But, even under government control,
there is no reason why the business
should be operated at loss. To do so
means that deficit must be paid out of
taxation. At the rates now charged
there is not enough revenue to meet ex-
penses and it is imperative that the rates
for local service be increased. The tele-
phone business, just like the individual,
has been suffering from steadily increas-
ing costs. Every means possible has
been applied to meet this difference be-
tween revenue and expenses by econo mics
but we have reached the point where the
business must have increased revenue if
it Is to maintain a satisfactory service
and not result in direct loss to the gov
eminent.
Every effort has been made towards
making the burden of this increase fall
as lightly as possible upon the subscriber
and the community and as a matter of
fact the increased cost to the subscriber
is insignificant in comparison with the
increased cost of commodities generally. y

THE GOOD ROADS VICTORY

On Monday the voters of the city
of Des Moines and of Polk county
with unfaltering courage met the r.
sue in regard to hard surfaced roads.
Polk county cast 5135 for hard sur
faced roads while the total vote
against same was 1496. Eleven pre-
aincts are to be heard from. Tho
city not only gave majority but
the county as well. The farming
precincts voted almost two to one for
real paved roads. The appropria-
tom will amount to two million dol
lars. Bonds will be issued in order
that the work may begin at once The
bonds will anticipate the automobile
tax. the federal appropriation. and .
twenty-five precent assessment on
abutting land. This Is good news.
Every county in the state which has
voted. with the exception of Story
and Tama. has given majority for
hard surfaced roads.
Iowa will be the first state in the
Union to have real pavement from
one end of the state to another. The
next movement OF importance should
be an agreement as to what the
pavements should be made Of and
that 1t should be laid on the right
kind Of base As we have said be-.
fore we believe that country roads.
paved with brick, make the best sur
face. But the State Highway COM
mission and the board Of supervis-
ors have the power to decide. Upon
their decision and the results there
Of rests the success of the entire good
roads movement. However We are
not going to anticipate that things
are not going to be done right, We
are going to look for good work.

WE HAVE KEPT THE PEACE

It should not be necessary for the
nations Of the world to enter into a
contract to keep the. peace. The
people of the world may sometime
have sense enough and conscience
enough to keep the peace without
statute. We believe that the AM
erican people would keep the peace
without signing written instru-
ment. We have forty eight states
and have kept the peace. We have

kept the peaes with MEXICO. And in

full of hope.
