The Facts of the Telephone
Situation in Mississippi
j.. President
What The Company Asks
By J. Epps Brown, President

The available supply OF money for invest
ments is limited The opportunity and de-
mand for new capital is unprecedented.
The telephone business must compete with
all other businesses, public and private, for
this money.
The investor will put his money In the en-
terprise which assures him the best return.
TO protect the rights of the public to receive
adequate service, the profits OF the Telephone
Company must be sufficient to attract the in
vesting public.
To do this the Company must earn as much
as ten per cent upon its investment.
The Company's investment is all physical
property: poles, wires and equipment exclu-
sively used in furnishing telephone service. No
franchise, going value or any intanghles are
included. nor is there any bonds, stocks or
other forms of capitalization involved
The amount of the Company's investment is
what it originally cost TO construct its physi-
cal property. the "bare bones" OF Its telephone
plant Practically all of the plant was con-
structed at low pre-war prices.
Its present value today is much greater than
Its original cost.
To reproduce the Company's plant at today's
prices, after making full allowance for its pres

the investment.
Ten per cent return upon the investment Is
less than 6 per cent upon the U0lue Of the Com
panys property.
No one questions the right OF the Company
10 earn fair and reasonable return upon the
Cdlue Of Its property
Measured by the profits earned today In other
businesses in Mississippi, the return the Com
pany is asking 10 earn is fair and lust profit.

Publication, but it is inspired by SER
ious purpose, the desire to commem-
.orate the most memorable day in the
history Of the world, and in1the his
tory of American arms.
These boys are entitled to every
thing they ask at the hands Of our
people, a grateful people. They should
have the active cooperation and cor
dial support Of everyone. We should
be mindful Of the sacrifices they made
when the nation and the world was
imperiled, and when opportunity
presents itself there should be recog-
milton of their splendid service.

NO RELIEF FOR TAXPAYING

A moratorium in the payment of
taxes, amounting to fifty per cent,
is the purpose Of movement recently
launched by the Madison County
Chamber of Commerce.
The Madison county people propose
that special session Of the legisla-
ture be called to change the law to
permit the payment Of only fifty per
cent of the taxes due on or before
February lst, and the other fifty per
cent on or before June30th.
But it cannot be dc.ae, and at the
same time maintain the electorate Of
the state. The constitution provides
that to be a qualified elector a person
must pay, prior to the first day OF
February, all taxes lawfully assessed
against him.
The organic law of the state cantlot
be set aside by mere statute. II
would seem that the Madison County
Chamber of Commerce is baying al
the moon.

The Company asks to earn only such profits
as are necessary TO protect the rights OF the
public.
The public needs and demands adequate and
efficient service, now and in the future.
To furnish this service, additional facilities,
costing many million dollars must be con-
structed.
This money must be gotten from the invest
Ing public.
Investors will not put their money into an
established business unless they are sure of
fair and adequate return upon their invest
ment.
They cannot receive fair and adequate
return upon their investment unless the busi-
ness earns fair and just profit
The investor is guided by the profits earned
in the past and the prospects Of profits TO be
earned in the future.
When the Company's profits are such as will
enable 1t to obtain from the investing public
the money needed to furnish adequate facili-
ties to supply the demand for service, its earn
iings will be fair and reasonable.
fair and reasonable profit is as necessary
for the protection of the rights Of the public
as it Is for the protection of the property rights
lof the Company.
What return Is a fair and Just profit de-
tpends upon general economic conditions.
What YVES a fair and just profit in 1914 Is
not fair and just profit in 1920.
The investor Is entitled to, and demands,
the same return upon his money invested In
The telephone business as he receives on
money invested in other businesses.
The profits earned in other businesses de-
termine what profits the telephone business
must earn.

In the nations darkest hour, time
when the fate of the world was at
stake, nation called its boys to her
defense that right and justice might
be maintained.
Inspired by love of country and
patriotic impulses millions of our
noble young men sprang to the colors,
and put their all upon the altar of
their country.
These men suffered the hardships Of
the greatest war the world has ever
known; they went through the valley
Of the shadow of death for their
country's sake, for your sake and foi
mine. Some made the supreme sacri

HEALTH is CHEAP.

Health is inexpensive to secure and
cheap to maintain.
1t costs nothing to stand upright
walk briskly and breathe deeply and
properly. Fresh air is free to every
one.
There is no expense attached to TAX
ing a few simple Muscular exercises
every morning. 1t is easy to chew
food thoroughly. 1t costs no more tC
select suitable foods when buying. Il
is not obligatory to gulp quack medi
cines.
1t costs no more to read good books
than to read bad ones which afrec
mental health deleteriously. Cheerful
ness is not subject to taxation ant
can be cultivated by anybody.
These are the elements of health.
