value, one hundred cents worth TO the
dollar, of every dollar he spends.
He wants the fellow who promises
him better goods and better service
for any advance in costs, to Keep
his word and deliver both the better
goods and the better service. He
wants no broken contracts, no vio'
lated conditions, no fractured prom
ises-no promises which were given
with accompanying tears of suppli-
ance. only to be sneezed at and
laughed at and violated as soon as
there was no longer need for crocko-
die tears and assurances of better
serice.
We venture the assertion that with
the exception of a few high-salaried
individuals the telephone companies
pay their employees the most mig
gardly salaries which will be found
upon the records and payrolls of any
| corporation doing business in this
state, or in any state; we venture
the assertion. also that If the con-
versation companies would pay their
operatives salaries commensurate with
the duties demanded, the 'phone-using
public would be given a better service
and would then agree, without dis
senting voice, TO the hike in rates
asked for.
Better salaries. adequate salaries,
means better service because 1t means
that the operatives will be satisfied
with the jobs which pay them living
wages and being satisfied, will stick
to their posts. becoming more eff
cient and more anxious to render sat
isfactory service TO the patrons Of
their companies.
If the telephone company which
operates in Ardmore, Oklahoma City,
Okmulgee and other oklahoma cities
in which the rate increases are sought,
will first show the consumer that II
what ~ NAsSs AhSN tA''
the consumer the service to whi.h he
is entitled, will first show that the
consumer is a being to be served and
not to be treated with contempt, then
we believe there will be no objection
TO increasing the rates charged for
the service. 90
But the company should be required,
by the corporation commission, TO do
three things before the raise in rates
is awarded: 1t should sumbit to the
corporation commission, and TO the
people OF Oklahoma through the cor
poration commission. honest facts and
figures relative to its gross and net
earnings. and these facts and figures
should include the statement of the
long distance business. coupled with
the statement OF the local service: 1t
should then give the public a good
and an efficient service. service

GET THE MONEY VS.. SERVICE

Appealing to the corporation COM
EMISSION Of Oklahoma and setting forth
the advanced rates of operation, the
advanced cost of production and the
Increases in salaries and taxes paid
with all kinds Of promises of better
service, the management Of the tele-
lphone company operating in Oklahoma
asks for authority to increase its serv-
ice rates to the long-suffering con-
sumer.
Figures in stacks, columns and vol
umes Of totals have been compiled
and will be submitted, calculated to
show that the telephone people are
earning but a paltry 4 per cent upon
the capital invested.
The figures and the appeal are
guiefu and misleading The expert
accountants, possibly the only real
high-salaried persons in the employ
OF the telephone company, have done
their bit toward earning their month
" stipends and have carefully shown
that per cent is n grossly made
quate return upon the capital invested
BY the telephone concerns, to say
nothing OF the additional Improve
mcnts and the better service prom
ised.
= In earning their salaries ii will be
noted that these experts have submit
ted compilations of the local revenues
only, that they have, with careful
forethought and evident premedita-
tion, eliminated all reference and
omitted all figures upon the revenues
accruing to the operating company
from long distance tolls.
II the money-mad people Of Okla
homa will sharpen their prod-poles n
bit and use these poles to stir up
their memories and recollections OF
past events, coupled with present con-
ditions, they will see that it has not
