New Exchange Telephone Rates
Effective May l, 1919

new schedule of telephone exchange rates be-
came effective in Hartford, Beaver Dam, Rockport
and Centertown, May by direction of the Operating
Board of the United States Telegraph and Telephone
Administration, acting under the order of the Post
master General of the United States.
AS you know all of the lines and property of this
company in the possession control and are being
operatedby the United States Government under the
direction of the Postmaster General of the United
States.
The new rates are necessary in order that addi-
tional revenue may be secured by the government to
meet the increased operating expenses. The causes
which make greater telephone revenue necessary
due to the new conditions and the new price levels
introduced by the war and are entirely beyond the
control of the United States Telegraph and Tele-
phone Administration or of the Telephone Company.
More than two years ago the Company foresaw
that the telephone system would be operated at loss
unless the rates could be adjusted to meet the in
creasing costs of all elements entering into the pro-
duction of service similar rate adj ustment would
have been unavoidable under private control and the
new rate schedule is practically the we would
have sought in 1918 if the government had not taken
possession of our property.
AS stated by the Postmaster General the owners
of the telephone system do not benefit in any way
from rate changes Practically all of the increased
operating expenses which require this additional rev.
ehue are que 10 Increased wages pald 10 employees TO
enable them to meet the new conditions of life in
the present day.
1t is neither practicable nor desirable to reduce
wages, and SO far as wages are concerned we believe
that portion of the increased operating expenses to
be permanent.
The new rate schedule is fair and reasonable and
the percentage of increased revenue which it will
produce much lower than the increased cost of 9th
er services and commodities of similar character
Complete detailed information about the new
rates may be obtained at the managers office. We
are making every effort to change our records
promptly, and your courteous consideration will be
appreciated

Mining Engineer Claims the Yucatan Railroad Is Farce

Gen ERWIN did right IN crossing

fact that no one could tell whether it
was the federals or rebels whose bull
lets struck Americans. the expedition
should have been directed against
both federals and rebels Both fac
tors should have been disarmed." said
state senator r n Dudley Monday.
The result OF this expedition viii be
extreme danger to all Americans IN
Mexico. and the one thing that our
government should do now is to pro-
tect our citizens in that country from
the incensed rebels. seventy-five
percent Of the people in the state Of
Chihuahua are Villa followers and
friends.
Our government owes il to its citi-
zens 10 protect them, and II they now
withdraw our soldiers and assure no
protection to our citizens in Mexico.
our government then has been very
derelict in its duty and has shown
but little respect for its citizens. in
my honest opinion The day has come
when we ought to demand that the
American in the Big Bend. the Ameri-
can in Chihuahua, and the American
in any part Of Mexico should be pro-
tected and that our flag should mean
something"
