Enforcement of P. e. C. Order
Means High Phone Charges.
Toll Line Companies Must Pay
Fifteen Per Cent More.
IT AFFECTS ALL COMPANIES
Hearings on Telephone Case to
Continue Several Days.
Question of Rates Was Subject
for Discussion Today.

Prospects of further toll rate hikes
in Kansas thru enforcement of the
public utilities commissions order to
increase commissions to local COM
panies handling long distance business
weresin evidence in today's hearing.
The increase possibility developed be-
cause of the commissions recent order
requiring toll line companies to pay an
increase of Is per cent to local COM
panies handling business.
Applies To All Companies.
The new toll charge distribution or
der applies to all companies and af-
fectS the privately Xned individual
lines as well as the Southwestern Bell.
the United, Emporia Telephone COM
pany and others. Small companies
with toll lines of their own are also
affected by the commissions decree.
Hearings on this order began Monday
and may continue another day or two.
Telephone men who went to the wit
ness stand today were apparently in
a melancholy frame of mind. They
were pessimistic as to operation OF
the order They poii ted out that rate
increases might be required thru en-
forcement of the mandate and that
slower service might result thru the
change in mutual agreements.
E. A. Morris, owner of the inde-
pendent exchange at Glen Elder, testi-
fled that in his opinion the iusiepen-
dents are entitled to a larger share OF
the toll charge. He said that if pres
ent toll charges in Kansas are not
high enough to permit the toll COM
panies to give a larger share of their
revenue to the independent exchanges
then the state commission should in.
crease rates.
Discussed Rates.
The possibility of further rate boost.
was the gloom feature of the hearing
The question of rates was the subjec
of much discussion during the morn
ing recess.
THE question before the commits
sion is one OF fact and not of opin

sion of the question. Stevens is pres
ident of the Northeast Kansas Tele

counties. II believe it will require a
least a year for the commission I,

sixteen Germans were witnesses in the
Heinin case. Heinin, the with esses
