Answers to Questions

READER-Who made famous the
phrase conspicuous by his absence?"
- Lord John Russell Q792-1S7S), the
eminent British statesman, seems to
have popularned this phrase by it's
use in an address to the electors OF
the city of London, but he averred
that he took it from one of the great
est historians of antiquity" abiding,
doubtless, to passage in Tacitus de-
scribing the funeral of Junia, wife OF
Cassius and sister of Brutus, where he
says that though the images OF ~
illuStrious families were carried before
the bier, those of Brutus and Cassius
were not displayed, but for that very
reason they shone with pre-eminent
luster.

John Logsdon to DEBORAH.

Waukon Democrat Shortly after
March LIST the John Logsdon family
expect to move to their new home
near DEBORAH. The Logsdon farm
near here will be occupied by Leon
ard Logsdon. John Logsdon came
here about six years ago stranger
and bought the Conway farm, assum-
ing heavy burden. At that time he
was almost unknown as stock breed
err, except in local circles. The first
two years after he located here were
the hardest years that Iowa farmers
have passed through for many a day,
for the corn crop was total failure,
the sale of pure bred cattle was slow
and to a man just starting up the
ladder, the task, seemed hopeless.
But LogsdOn had the spirit OF
fighter; when things looked the
darkest he worked the hardest, and
he won. Today the name or Logsdon
Bros. is known throughout Short
horn cattle circles all over the U. 5.
and among his neighbors his word is
all that is required in a business
transaction. His friends here all
wish him the fullest measure of sue
cess in his future career

What The Company Asks

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 fu-
ture.
To furnish this service, additional facil-
ties. costing many millions dollars must
be constructed.
This money must be gotten from the
investing public.
Investors will not put their money into
an established business unless they are
sure Of fair and adequate return upon
their investment.
They cannot receive fair and adequate
return upon their investment unless the
business 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 Companys profits are such
as will enable it to obtain from the invest
ing public the money needed to furnish
adequate facilities to supply the demand
Tor service, its earnings will be fair and
reasonable
fair and reasonable profit is as neces-
sary for the protection of the rights of the
public as it is for the protection of the
property rights of the Company.
What return is a fair and just profit
depends upon general economic conditions
What was fair and just profit in 1915
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
determine what profits the telephone bust
ness must earn
The herald., 1920-10-21

The available supply OF money Tor IN
vestments is limited. The opportunity
and demand for new capital is unprece-
denied
The telephone business must compete
with all other businesses, public ana pm
vate. for this money.
The investor will put his money IN tne
enterprise which assures him the best re-
turn.
To protect the rights OF the pubic 70
receive adequate service, the profits OF tho
Telephone Company must be sufficient "
attract the investing public.
To do this the Company must earn -
much as ten per cent upon It's investment
The Companys investment IS all pny
steal property: poles, wires and equipment
exclusively used in furnishing Telephone
service. No franchise. going value or any
intangibles are included, nor is there any
bonds. stocks or other forms OF capta"-
cation involved
The amount of the Company's invest
ment is what is originally cost to constru0,
its physical property; the bare bones o.
It's telephone plant. Practically all OF tpo
plant was constructed at low pre-~h
prices
Its present value today is much greater
than its original cost.
To reproduce the COmpany's plant a.
today's prices, after making full allowance
for its present condition. would COST oO
per cent more than the investment.
Ten per cent return upon the investmen.
is less than per cent upon the value VI
the COmpany's property.
No one questions the right OF the Con.
pany to earn a fair and reasonable retuf"
upon the value of its property.
Measured by the profits earned TO-DAY ~
