The Public's 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.
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 a fair but not ex-
cessive return on the investment This Is
necessary to attract the new capital required
to keep step with the growth and progress Of
the community.
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 a fair return.
The Commission, IN authorizing rate in
creases, stated that the new rates would yield
a return of about $3.50 on the value of osE
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 efectmg Of econ
ou,ies 90 that om investors might be afforded
the return to which they entitled.
During 1922 ow earnings were at the rate
of 5.O59o ON our investment in Maryland.
The return 10 still inadequate, being less than
the legal interest rate. But we have made
progress and this gives confidence that with
our present rates we can, by constantly ncreas-
ing efficiency and persistent economy, earn a
return sufficient to attract the new capital neces-
sary to permit US to expand our system.

u. S. Must Care For
Russians Now In China

Peking (By mail to the United
Press). - The American Red
Cross in China is undertaking the
care of Russian White" refugees
on a comprehensive scale.
The ultimate object of the Red
Cross undertaking is the return
of all the refugees to Russia, bur
under such conditions that no
hardships will he placed on them.
Something must be done for
these people and also that therr
seems to be no one to do At but
the Americans. Other nationals
have no organization to undertake
the work.
The number of refugees is
growing daily. They are coming
in from Russia and new groups
are being found, composed Of
bands who left Eastern Siberia
at the time Nladivostock fell.
Hardin is becoming more crowd
cd and the plight of the refugee
there more acute. 1t is said there
are 500 refugees physicians alone
in Hardin while Russia IS suffer
ing for lack of medical aid.
All these people are afraid ~
90 back. They fear the >"t,ct
government. The Russian g.
eminent has declared amnesty nut
the refugees are afraid Of it.
. Consequently the Red Cross viii
seek out the refugees, feed them.
and try to persuade them to re-
turn to Russia. The Red Gross
officials, headed by John Earl
Baker. who directed the Red Gross
famine work in China, believe
that the Soviet government will

In which to teach the young idea how
to shoot, And mould coming
race.
The seats were dinky little things
upon an iron stool
We used to place bent pins on them
our seat mates jest to fool.
Occasionally some ingenious kid
would whittle out peg
Stick it in between his toes
Then spear his neighbours leg.
OF course they don't do such things
in any modern school.
But know real well what I'm telling
you
The black board there was just a
space of painted plaster wall
A piece of modern chalk on it would
leave no mark at all
The heating system sure was punk
an old box stove or two
Those who sat right next to them
Were roasted through and through
The boys who sat in seats up front
The bad ones you are told
Were anything but comfortable, they
were SO blooming cold.
It's tough 10 think how those good
boys
Suffered from that awful awful heat
But the bad ones suffered just as
much
With chilblains on their feet.
But such is life; the good die young,
the bad ones they remain
To shed their hair, wear false teeth
and suffer untold pain
There was one thing though we had
by ging
No modern school can beat
And that's the bell they used to ring
to call US to our seats
l never liked to go to school
I hated-despised the whole blame
thing
But I'd give lot to hear just once
more
