The above figures were furnished at our re-
quest in order to have before the latest available
statistics as to the Telephone Company's operations
in this state.
These figures show that the telephone company
earned for the period stated 3.03 per cent on its
investment and working capital. The evidence,
however, shows that during the past few months
there has been steady decrease In toll revenues
and if same is kept up it will receive a still less
net return its investment.
1t is claimed that capital cannot be OBJ
tanned by public utility except where rates are
such as will earn an amount to meet fixed charges
and establish basis of credit. There must be
such assurance otherwise capital will be attracted
to other business ventures We think this is sound
business logic. The deplorable condition of many
of most useful public utility companies is due,
in a large measure, to their inability to earn the
return needed to attract new capital in order to
meet the demands for service. and the public suf
fers from poor service or lack Of service for
other than that old facilities cannot be used
indefinitely to meet new growth, and cannot be
extended beyond certain limitations without adding
and additional facilities for which new capital
must be provided.
1t was shown that the prevailing rate Of in
terest is per cent Commissions and courts of
this country have held that fair return on the
used BY the hsns should equal the
its insurance companies, and most private bust
nesses pay a much larger percentage and unless
utilities they will be unable to get capital and
will cease to function with disastrous results to
the public who depend upon them for service.
1t must be borne in mind that for several years
past property not devoted to public has IN
many instances enjoyed abnormal profitable re-
turns without restraint; whereas. the owners of
public utilities have made such meager returns
that they CD the verge of bankruptcy all over
the country.
The railroads of this country have
received in the last five years increases
in freight rates which amount to 7s%;
the express companies 60 per cent; while
the total increase asked for BY the tele-
phone company, added to the increase il
received under the Burleson rates, 10 ap-
proximately 80 per cent.

cattle give security. The farmer who
raises them has fewer worries over
high feeds, increasing freight rates,
decreasing soil fertility and poor
bank credits. Because his business is
on more economical basis his mar

WHATS WIFE WORTH"
A PERFECT PHOTOPLAY
Christy Cabanne's New Robertson
Cole Super-Special Film Has
Strong Cast and Story

William Christy Cabanne's new
Robertson-Cole super-special produc-
ton, whats Wife WORTH" will be
at the opera house Friday. Mr.. Ca
banne, who was the author and direc-
tor of ''The Stealers," has given the
screen one of the most wholesome
comedy dramas in his latest picture.
Critics agree that the photoplay,
Judged from all angles, is as near per-
fection as possible.
The story tells of the marriage of
a wealthy mans son and a village
belle. Of the early disruption of the
union by malicious acquaintance.
How, following the divorce, a son is
born mad how the mother sees in him
the image of his father and is devot-
ed to him. The wealthy mans son
marries again and a baby is born to
his second wife, but dies. The sub
stitution, by the family physician, of
the son by his first wife for the dead
baby, finally brings about reconcil-
iation between mother and father.
Mr.. Cabanne selected an excellent
cast to tell his story. Included are:
Ruth Renick, Casson Ferguson, Alex
B. Francis, Cora Drew, Howard
Gaye and Virginia Caldwell.

When Buddy Got Nothing

At the end of Buddy's first term at

her high marks by her father ane
mother.
"Where's your report, Buddy?" in,
quired his father.

the little boy answered as he noticed
that his sisters card showed IS ant
80 per cent in her various studies.
The next afternoon his mother saw
him coming slowly homeward from
school, softly crying, and ran to him
"What in the world is the matter
dear?" she asked him anxiously.
"My report card" Buddy sobbed
at is bad. I got nothing in three
subjects"
His mother looked at it. In read,
