in the South. 1t has always
made money.
That being true, when. at the
dictation Of the Trust, the Cum
berland. disregarding the univer-
sal fall in prices, made bold to
demand an increase in the rates
of Louisiana subscribers, the
Louisiana Railroad Commission
ough promptly and unequivocally
to have rejected the demand.
But by a 2 to / decision it bow
ed to the wish of the Cumber-
land, broke its rules in order
that the gouge might go instant
ly into effect and then when, in
the midst of Statewide clamor
over this outrageous imposition
upon the unfortunate people of
Louisiana, it granted a rehear-
ing, it ordered a continuance of
the gouge, the result of which is
that while in the neighboring
State of Mississippi the Cumber-
land is denied the right to collect
the increased rate, in Louisiana
every subscriber must pay the
higher price pending a final de-
cision in the matter.
Some of these days the rehear-
ing will come on.
When it does the people of
Louisiana will await the decision
with keener interest than be-
fore.
The issue will be clean cut
whether or not the Commission
is willing to continue the present
excessive rates, inflicting grave
injustice upon the telephone-us-
ers of the State, when under the
old rates the Cumberland was
earning an ample return and
when since the original decision
its parents, the Trust, has raised
its dividend rate and its stock
holders are eagerly applying for
the additional stock it is putting
out with the lure of a 8 per cent
return. IN. o. Daily States.

The committee on securities of

received application to list the

phone Co. 500. 819, 500 additional

of the Phone Trust and how
much deeper into a hole the Hon.
Shelby Taylor and the Hou. Jno.

when the rehearing comes on
they reaffirm their decision un-
der which the Cumberland Co.

dividends.
Few American corporations
have been more consistently
prosperous than this Trust. For
twenty years, without a break,
it has been paying healthy divi-
dends to it's stockholders and put
ting aside millions of surplus.
This month, in period when
many corporations are struggl-
ing to make both ends meet and
some are on the brink of bank
ruptcy, the Phone Trust puts in
to effect its new dividend of 8
per cent, an increase from s, and
the item in the Chicago Tribune
shows with what eagerness the
shrewd operators are applying
for the new stock issue which
contemporaneously with the de-
claration of the increased divi-
dend the Trust decided to offer
for sale.
Every Louisiana telephone-user
contributes to the income which
enables the Trust to pay its fancy

with the Trust.
