What The Company Asks

The available supply Of money for Invest
nients Is limited The opportunity ana 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
10 protect the rights Of the public to receive
adequate service, the profits OF the Telephone
Company must be suflcient to attract the In
vestlng 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 usedin furnishing telephone service. NO
franchise, going value or any intangiDies are
included nor Is there any bonds, STOCKS OF
other forms of capitalization involved.
The amount OF the Company's investment IS
what II originally cost to construct Its physl-
cal property; the "hare bones" Of Its telephone
plant Practically all Of the plant was COLI
structed at low pre-war prices
Its present value today is much greater tnan
its original cost
To reproduce the Company's plant at todays
rylces. after making full allowance for Its pres
emf condition, would cost so per cent more than
the investment
Ten per cent return upon the investment Is
less than per cent upon the value Of the COM
panys property.

to earn fair and reasonable return upon sne

Measured by the profits earned today In other

PLAN RAIL PROJECT
TO Connect Pacific Ocean
With Amazon River.
Ecuador Grants Concession to Big
Syndicate to Develop Resources
OF Fertile Land.

Santiago.-Construction of railway
which would connect the Pacific ocean
with the Amazon river, serving the
republics Of Ecuador Colombia and
venezuela On the north, and Peru, Be-
Wyia, and Brazil on the south, Is In
yolved In q concession which has been
authorized by the Ecuadorean govern
ment. Authority for the construction
OF the railway, according to Chilean
weekly, was obtained from the gov
ernment at Quito by IgnaciO Leon,
former Chilean diplomat, for syndi-
cate capitalized at $25,0OO,OOO, men,
bers of which include many promi-
nent Chileans.
The route would start from Port
Bolivia on the Pacific and run to Port
Bora On the Amazon. The proposed
railway, In addition to serving a zone
bordering on what Is said to be among
the best petroleum bearing districts
In Peru, would afford means of CON
Meeting the four large and Isolated
provinces of southern Ecuador, with
100000 inhabitants, with the rest of
the country.
An article recOunting the details
of the project quotes Senior Leon as
saying: apart from the establish
ment of lnter-Oceanlc communication,
of great future Importance. the rail-
ways penetrating East Ecuador, com,
bined with the navlgable riyerways,
will enable the exploitation of an
enormous extension Of extraordinarily
fertile virgin territory which will con-
