The PubIc's Interest In
Telephone Earnings

The public is directly interested in the quality
of service furnished by this Company and what
it pays for such service.
1t follows then that the public is concerned
in the Company's earnings, because If the earn
ings are inadequate, the service cannot be main
tanned at high standard. On the other hand,
If earnings are excessive, the public is entitled
to lower rates.
The aim of this Company has always been to
charge rates that will yield fair but not Excess
sive return on the investment. This is necessary
to attract the new capital required to keep step
with the growth and progress of the COM
munity.
When we were forced finally to seek relief
through increased rates, we 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 efficiency would be OBJ
tanned. This, together with moderate increases
in rates. we hoped would result within rea-
sonable time in providing sufficient revenues to
yield fair return.
The Commission, in authorizing our rate in
creases, stated that the rates would yield
return of about $500 on the value of our
property.
During the two years that have passed since
these rates were established, we have directed
every energy toward furnishing the best pos
sible service and toward the effecting of econ
omies so that investors might be afforded
the return to which they are entitled.
In the first nine months of this year, our earn
ings have been at the rate of $50 year on
our investment in Maryland.
The return is still inadequate, being less than
the legal interest rate. But we have made prog
ress and this gives us confidence that with our
present rates we can, by constantly increasing
efficiency and persistent economy, earn a return
sufficient to attract the new capital necessary to
permit us to expand our system.

ONE EFFoIENT DEPARTMENT.

Fairmout has one public service department
l that is working smoothly and satisfactorily
above others It is tho postorice, under the fue
direction of John S. Scott. The work of handling
the mail for city as large as Fairmont is not n
soft snap. Just now the postmaster is trying to
get mail boxes installed at all houses on mail
routes. The public is slow to comply, not that the
public does not intend to eventually install mail
boxes but 1t knows it has until January 10 do
this work and SO procrasttnates: meanwhile the
lack OF boxes is a great annoyance to the carriers
and the public runs The risk Of loss of valuable
mail tucked in doors and left in insecure places
The city grows SO each gear that mail lock boxes
have to be added almost as regularly as the year
rolls round Just now there is waiting list for
mail lock boxes that cannot be satisfied until after
Christmas when the addition to this postoHlce &c;
commodation will BIO constructed
Postmaster Scott is most successful and popn-
lar public servant, and there is little kicking on
the part OF tho people about his work in their be-
half or the work of his exceptional office force.
Last year this force made great record in the
handling Of Christmas mall, and they are prepared
doubt to equal this record again this year, The
city is to be congratulated on the excellence Of the
postofice stan. and its manner Of handling the
mail. Things are now running with perfection
of service that has not been surpassed by any pre-
vious local postal organization

THE TRUTH AND TARIFF.

\Xa1LE our Democratic friends are making
w loud claims that the protective tariff Of the
Republican party IS going TO cost the consumer
this price ind that price, there comes the an
nouncement that the President and the tariff board
have completed arrangements to review some of
the rates now named by the Fordney-Mecumber
Law on important commodities! A flexible tariff
will never work any outrage upon the ultimate
consumer, and no man with regard for truth can
say to another, you will have to pay this sum or
that sum because of the tariff" How does the
Democratic speaker know that the sum he names
will hold good for twenty-rour hours even admit
ting that the tariff will impose more cost upon the
public, which it emphuucally viii not unless
American dealers take advantage to profiteer.
President Harding has shown himself wise aud
just and his conferences with the tariff board
over rates will always result in fair adjustment
with the welfare of the people the chief and sole
consideration. The President stood firm for a
flexible tariff, and he will not hesitate to make
changes when desirable and necessary. II takes
a tremendous amount Of undiluted .nerEe there
fore to clatm rates before the people as II these
rates were fixed and unaltcrable.
