HEAR PHONE RATE CASE
Attorney For Telephone Company De
mics Jurisdiction of Court.

J. W. Gleed, attorney for the
Southwestern Bell Telephone COM
pany, today denied the jurisdiction of
the court of industrial relations, to
hear the motion rehearin~ of
the telephone rate case (which opened
at ? o'clock this afternoon, asserting
that the act which constituted the
court gave it no such power. But.
because the hearing is apt to bring out
facts and information of interest both
TO subscribers and the company, Gleed
said that he was ready to go ahead
with the hearing.
Presiding Judge w. L. Higgins said
that the hearing would go on as If
the proceedings were perfectly formal
and legal.
Eighteen witnesses have been sworn
10. give evidence during the hearing.
Among them are prominent business
men who protested against the in
crease in rates, including: Jack Love-
less, w. w. Eden. j. H. Lee, w. ..
Anderson. and a large number of tele-
phone subscribers.
The attorneys for the telephone
Company are: j. w. Gleed and Dave
Palmer. The city and subscribers are
being represented by City Attorney
Branaman.
The first witness called was G. A.
Engh, chief accountant for the indus
trial court, whose testimony was large
ly technical and dealt with figures on
tne cost OF operating ana plant OF the
telephone company.
The indications are that the hearing
of the motion for the rehearing will
not be completed this afternoon, but
. will go over until tomorrow.
One of the first questions asked of
Engh by .Branaman was the valuation
of the property of the telephone COM
pany in Topeka, as turned in for taxa
ton. Engh testified that in 1916 the
company paid taxes on property to
the value of $554,113 and in 1920 on
property to the value of $500, 507, in
Guiding the property in the city of
Topeka and in Oakland.
~ In its application for the increased
rates the company placed total re-
placement value on its property in To-
peka of $2,598,s3S.
Engh, on cross examination, said
that the company's auditors showed
the company sustaining a loss of $685.
600, whereas the state showed them
making a profit of $4,000. Engh said
the difference resulted from a different
method of calculating the deprecia-
ton, followed by the auditors of tho
company and the accountants of the
court.
