mounted when Anthony Caminetti,
commissioner general of immigratlon
made it clear that the department
does not expect the impossible in the

guarantee, owing to the fact that it
would be very difficult to prevent
the departure Of some of these la

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-
teFptise which assures him the best return
To protect the rights Of the public 10 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-
siyeIy used in furnishing telephone service. No
franchise, going value or any intangibles are
Included. nor is there any bonds stocks or
other forms Of capitalization involved
The amount of the COmpany's investment Ia
what 1t originally cost to construct Its physi-
cal property; the "bare bones" of Its telephone
plant. Practically all Of the plant was con-
structed at lt,7 pre-War prices.
It's present value today is much greater than
Its original cost.
To reproduce the Companys plant at today's
prices, after making full allowance for its pres~
ent condition, would cost so per cent more than
the Investment
Ten per cent return upon the investment ia
less than per cent upon the UdIue Of the Conn
pany's property.
No one questions the right Of the Company
to earn fair and reasonable return uDon tna
so|us Of Its property.
Measured by the profits earned today IN other
business In Louisiana. the return the Conn
pany Is asking to earn Is q fair and Just profit.
