Australia Is about to mint square
pennies and half pennies OF nickel.
These will go into circulation con-
currently with the present copper

no more will be minted. SO far the

square coins are those Of British

square scent piece since 1910 and
the Straits settlements a square cent

morals when II pre-empts the entire
field of service ana enjoys such an
absolute monopoly In It's chosen field
as Is enjoyed by this company In the
cities and towns of Oklahoma which
1t has undertaken to serve.
"Thc commission is aware of the
fact that adequate service is corre-
lated 10 adequate rates, and, under
the law, the commission is bound to
do justice to all concerned, to the
utility as well as to the public, and
had this company complied with the
commissions numerous requests TO
improve its service, the CummisslJ IN
would not have hcaitatod to continue
tho present rates In effect until such
q time as u thorough Investigation
could have been made, by which the
commission could have fully deter
mined tho justice Of the present
rates and the TensOnablcnoss and
adequacy OF the present pacticcs."
This letter, according to Mr..
Thraycs. was proposed November 26.
1919, n few days before the commits
sion put IN effect an order drawn by
the telephone company continuing
the Burlcson rates ana practices ia
effect. Under this o-cIIlcd TEN
porary order the company has been
allowed TO collect $3.50. 900 net sur
plus more than they were allowed to
collect under prC-war rates. The
city attorneys Of Tulsa. Muskogco
and Enid, together with hundreds
OF witnesses, appeared at the trial
Ia protest. The old commission had
filed an injunction against the put
ting into effect of these rates, the
supreme court Of oklahoma had
made permanent that injunction.
then the war net had put these rates
into effect and the act OF congress
provided that after December /.
1919. tho company should return to
the old rates unless the state cor
poration commission should continue
them. The present corporation com
mission, In the fact OF all this pro-
test. preferred To serve tho com
pany rather than the telephone users
OF this state. says Mr.. Thravcs.
There is n 900-page transcript in
this case and the commission has
never passed upon the matter except
to put into effect this Temporary
order" which has now been in effect
for more than seven months. The
commission, alleges Thraves, ad-
viscd the company officials to get
Walter Ferguson or some 9th,
writer and write up "a big ad in tho
Sunday Oklahoman telling then
how much money your company hal
| spent in oklahoma. and II you car

company fails TO get by with It.
the commission makes another oper
threat. These. says Mr.. Thravcs
are all absolute facts and authorize!
them to be published over his name
