MAYOR ADVISES
PUBLIC TO BALK
Don't Pay Advanced Phone
Rate, Urges Brown

Don't pay tho increase which
will be asked by the phone com.
pany in its May bills-no matter
what the courts do"
This was the advice offered to the
public Saturday by Mayor Z. j.
Brown.
Don't refuse TO pay your bills"
he said. Tender the telephone
company the amount that II is en-.
titled to under the present. legal
rate. II they refuse to accept that,
don't pay them anything. just sit
tight"
DIR. Brown declared that he would
tear out" most of the phones in his
dental offices on Columbia st. and
that, in addition. lie would refuse
TO pay penny more than the old
rate.
"JuGge Cushman's ruling was an
outrage from every angle" he de.
clared. There is no possible point
OF reasoning TO sustain his action
If phone company can go into a
United States court and set aside
the decision OF a state government
on the grounds that It isn't making
enough money, why can't the work.
Ing men go into court and demand
more wages? Why can't the farmer
demand more for his wheat? Why
can't the merchant demand more
for pair OF garters? If we are
going to guarantee the dividends
OF stock gamblers. then we should
also guarantee the prices OF wheat
and OF labor.
II own an apple ranch over east
OF the mountains. and my returns
from II last year weren't sufficient
TO pay taxes and interest. I Won
der what Cushman would do II
went into his court and asked him
to raise the price OF my apples"
Mayor Brown also indicated that
he would fight renewal OF the phone
company's franchise, which expires
July 10.
.If this corporation continues TO
blench tho public white.r he dc.
clared, II would not permit II to
have franchise IL can prevent
It."

the whole matter was FOR the state
