The Public S Interest In
Telephone Earnings
The public is directly interested in the quality
Of service furnished by this Company and what pays
for such service.
Il follows then that the public is concerned in the
Companys earnings because if the earnings are mad
eouate, the service cannot be maintained at hlgh
Standard On the other hand, if earnings are excess
sive the public is entitled to lower rates.
The aim of this Company has always been to
charge rates that will yield fair but not excessive
return on the investment This is necessary TO
attract the new capital required to keep step with
the growth and progress of the community. There
have been times when our income has not been suf-
fcient to meet operating expenses Such was the
case during and after the World War.
When we were forced finally to seek relief
through increased rates, did not ask the
Public Service Commission to approve rates high
enough to yield fair return. We hoped that the
future would bring reductions in costs and that
increased elllCcllCy WOulu DC oo'e"h'No' A''AN'
together with moderate increases in rates, we hoped
would result within a reasonable time in improving
sufficient revenues to yield fair return.
During the twenty-three months that have
passed since these rates were established, we have
directed every energy toward furnishing the best
possible service and toward the effecting of econ
onies so that our investors might be afforded the
return to which they are entitled.
In the first nine months of this year, earn
ings have been at the rate of 6.21Go year
investment in West Virginia.
The return is still insufficient. But we have made
progress and this gives us confidence that with our
present rates we cam by constantly increasing efici
ency and persistent economy, return sufficient
to attract the new capital necessary to permit lis to
expand SYSTEM

Why a Fleet
as Large as
England Has?
BY AMATEUR ECONOMIST

Mr.. Hearst tells us that the
United States should have a msr-
chant fleet at least as larg. as
Engiand's.
We know that Mr.. Hearst
hates England, that he II able to
see no good In the English. and
that he win never admit that
anything English is as good or as
large as 1t Is tn the United
States.
Now n IN to be the American
merchant marine that Is to be
az large or larger than Eng.
lands.
| wonder II Mr.. Hearst realizes
that England has the ocean clear
around her shores. Why can't
we dig canal across the Canadi.
an and Mexican borders. so Eng.
land wouldn't have anything on
US?
A most ridiculous proposition.
certainly, but no more ridiculous
than Mr.. Hearst's insisteucc that
our economic development shall
be exactly tho same as Eng.
lands.
We all know that the English
produce only one-third Of their
food at home, and that as a ma.
ton they have 10 render services
10 the rest OF the world for the
rest Of their living. This they do
by selling insurance. manufac-
turing raw materials into the fin
ished products. and by working
for the other countries on the
seas. carrying their goods from
place TO. place.
England has used these meth
DDS TO pay for her foods and raw
materials for a hundred years
and more.
The English have been good
customers OF ours In the past.
They have rendered the above
services in exchange for our
wheat and cotton. and now Mr..

that We now offer tho world

PLANNING MILL TO
Be NEW ADDITION
TODALLASPLANTS

Dallas, Or, May 24.-A real
estate deal was consummated In
this city Tuesday morning which
means considerable to Dallas, not
only to the business life of the city
but to the industrial center as
well. This deal was the purchase
by A. r.. Friesen G. Sons from
Ralph Williams of tract of land
on Lyle street lying east and
across the street from the new
building Of the LaCreole Canning
company.
The property has frontage on
the railroad of $50 feet and also
the same number OF feet on Lyle
street. The consideration was not
mentioned. This deal has been
under consideration for some time,
but number of unforeseen cir
cumstances arose that has held
back the final change in the own
ership of the property.
1t is the intention of the new
owners to erect new building on
the site, which will be used for
planning mill purposes. The pres
ent location Of the Dallas planning
mill. which is Operated by A. X.
Friesen & Sons, is unsatisfactory
In a number of respects. not only
In size but its location which pro-
hibits any trackage facilities. This
mill have outgrown Its present To-
cation and the new building will
be put up according to plans
drawn by the owners, and will be
modern and convenient in every
respect
Among new contracts taken In
by the owners of the mill is the
furnishing of mill work for a new
residence at Independence. This
residence is to be erected for w.
/. Morrison. The mill will make
large shipment of window frames
to Eugene this week which will
be used in the Osburn apartments
now being built in that city.
