Committee
DenOunees Phone Rates.

Gulfport, Miss, March Sin an
interview with Daily Herald re.
porter today, Col. 4. H. Henry of
Jackson, when asked what he
thought of the decision of the Rail
road Commission advancing phone
rates, said:
Il consider it one Of the greatest
outrages of the day and wholly IN
warranted by the conditions, in view
of the fact that prices OF all pro-
ducts and materials arede creasing.
There can be no substantial reason
for the increase, and am glad to
see the decision is denounced from
one side of the State to the other.
Commissioner Morgan is right
and his views will be sustained. Ed
wards and Wilson are wrong and
should be repudiated by the people
if they ever offer for Office again.
The people who pay telephone
charges, now that tey are overtaxed,
should not submit to this rank deci-
sion without a vigorous protest"
