Written specially for The Bingham
County News by H. B. Thayer, presi-
dent American Telephone & Tele-
graph Co.-Autocaster Service.
NEW YORK, February 20.-Any
forecast Of the future achievements
of science in the development of cleo
trical communication is likely to be
inadequate. Certainly marvellous de-
velopments may be confidently ex-
pected on the basis of our past ex-
perience FIT wears ago the tele-
phone was unknown, as many Of us
we'll remember. The telegraph is
only little older, and wireless is a
little brother to them both, being
scarcely Of voting age. Yet today we
see more than 100000 telephones
connected with the Bell System, and
hardly a corner Of the earth that is
not reached by wire or wireless tele-
graphy.
Development VIII Meet
Public Requirements.
This is a practical age and 1t is
likely that the developments Of the
future will be chiefly along the line
OF the public's requirements.
We know pretty definitely that the
public demands vast system Of in
tercommunication 80 that any person
can talk to any other person no mat
ter how distant, promptly and private
~. To meet that demand we have
strung nearly thirty million miles OF
wire and invested nearly two billion
dollars in telephone plant and prop
erty. But in spite Of incessant work
the race with demand continues and
as we believe will continue for years
to come. 1t can never be met by
more construction, out must be met,
and we are constantly meeting it, by
means of improvements and technical
developments linked with practical
experience.
When we consider the younger
field of radio the future is not so
clear. The radio telegraph has al
ready proved itself on shipboard, and
ocean travel is immeasurably safer
because of it.

Says the department OF commerce.
This March movement of imports had
its origin several months ago. Orders
sent out then for raw materials indi-
Gated the extent to which manufacture
ers had picked up in the u. S" The
department also states that will re-
gard to exports 'the home market had
been found more attractive for some
goods than. abroad" Another fact
worth mentioning is that the enhanced
purchasing power of the American
people as a whole has created larger
demand for imports; while the en-
larged purchasing power of labor.
which is now at a premium. has IN
creased the home consumption of ag-
ricultural products. Doubtless when
labor supply has been adjusted to in
dustria requirements and the heavy
demand for goods at home has some
what spent itself. our export trade
will increase more rapidly.
The Fordney- McCumber tariff law
has thoroughly indicated itself. As
political issue the Republicans may
point to il with pride The Democrats
despair of using il as a means to cor
raj votes.
