LONG DISTANCE
PHONE RATES
ARE REDUCED

Important changes involving a
general readjustment in long dis
tance rates, and in the evening and
night period during which reduced
rates apply, are announced by the
Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph company. The changes
are effective on all calls from points
in the Mountain states territory to
points in the territory of any other
associated company. They are made
the company states, for the benefit
of users of long distance service
and to eliminate service Difficult
ties which the present schedule has
brought about.
The net result of the readjust-
ment in rates will be saving to
the telephone users of the country
of approximately three million dol
lars a year To points outside the
territory of the Mountain States
company and $50 miles or more dis
tant the rates are substantially re-
duced. The greater the distance,
the greater the reduction. For ex-
ample, from Phoenix to Los An
geles the basic station-to-station
rate will be $1S5 instead of $2.35 !;
to Oklahoma City, 1885 instead of
$5.35; to St. Louis, $5.75 instead
, of $8.15; to Chicago, $6.45 instead
of 1920; to New York, $9.40 in
stead of $13.65. Long distance ca

any time after $50 p. m. Thus,
although the midnight discount rate
is discontinued, the longer reduced
rate period and the substantial re-
ductions applying in basic rates to
distant points mean that this
change will make little difference
in the cost of night calls.
BY this move the company ex-
poets to improve service by elm
mating complications at midnight
which have resulted in delays and
put heavy burden on it's facilities
and employees.
Another change that will be well
coined is the extension of the privi-
lege of reversing charges to in
clude station-to-station calls-eitb-
er placed during the day, evening
or night-where the rate is Is cents
or more. In the last few years the
use of long distance service has
been increasing constantly and
many situations now arise where
the reversal of charges is of advan-
tage to the customer who calls for
a certain number. Hence this priv
ilege is an added convenience and
saving to the public.

bles, carrier systems, vacuum tube
repeaters, loading coils and other
improved devices and methods, re-
sulting frfom continuous scientific
research and development applied
to the telephone industry, have eff
fected economies on the longer cir
cults, and have share in making
these reductions possible. A few
rates for distances between "a and
10 miles will be adjusted to make
the schedule consistent throughout
but in these cases the increase of
the basic Standardization rate
will be only five cents.
One of the interesting changes
from the public's viewpoint is that
by which one and a half hours have
been added to the reduced rate per
iod. Reduced rates on station-to-
station calls will begin at o. m.
instead of p. M, as formerly. Be
tween p. m. and $50 p. M, the
discount will be approximately 25
per cent of the day station-to-sta-
ton rates, and from $3.50 D. m. to
4::30 a. M, about so per cent Of the
day rates. These discounts will
apply where the day station-to-sta-
ton rate is 40 cents or more, with
a minimum reduced rates of 50
cents Because of the unsatisfac-
tory service conditions which it
brought about, the existing mid
night discount is discontinued
Under the new schedule station
to-station calls may be made at
substantial reductions as early as
p. M, and persons wishing to take
advantage of the lowest rates of
the "a hours may make their calls

especially noted, as, "naa." for the
reason that every vowel is sound

makes the transition from conson-

Navajo Grammar Is

TUCSON - When the British

But the Arizona Navajo had

"The Colorado river and the power of the
Colorado are potentially the greatest of all
taxable assets in this state. 1t is therefore
imperative that the river be developed in
such way and under such agreements with
our neighbor states that Arizona will be in
a position to derive great taxation benefits.
For this reason. I believe that the Colo
RADIO should be developed from the head OF
the canyon down, rather than from the foot
of the canyon up; that the initial flood con-
troll and storage dam should be at the head
of the canyon, that power should be devel-
oped by smaller dams further down the
river and that all switchboards be located
entirely within the state of Arizona.
p
IF Arizona is to obtain any advantage to
which she is entitled from the development
of the Colorado other than that advantage
due to the reclamation of lands, she must
obtain the right to tax either power or pro-
duction of power. If this is not obtained
those who are now engaged in permanent
industry in Arizona will eventually be forced
to carry very large part if not ali, of the
burden of taxation in this state.
Il am opposed to the Swing-Johnson bill
because 1 believe that the water from the
storage at Boulder Canyon will be used in
California, the switchboard will be located
in Nevada the power will be Consumed
very largely in southern California and
Arizona will derive little advantage if any,

<<The Colorado" 'sThe Farmer"

"The farming industry is basic industry
because it produces those things which are
essential to human life. The farmer is un-
der several disadvantages. First, he is a
rural person. producing in small quantities
in an industrial society which produces in
mass. In relation to the industrialist the
farmer never has received as large an i'll
come. The reason is that the farmer Is
competing against himself in the market, in
selling to distributors and to commission
houses and he has not been able to employ
the business methods that safeguard The
success of the other industries.
Where the industrialist has almost COM
plete control over the quantity of his pro-
duction, the farmer has but little. The sun,
wind and the rain, which he cannot control,
are the factors which govern the quantity
of his production per acre.
''The transportation rates of our country
are not as favorable to agricultural products
as they are to industrial products. The
industrialist receives the benefit of govern
ment price sterilization through direct
agencies the federal commission, and in
direct agency, the tariff. The farmer re-
ceives none of the benefits of this policy on
the part of the government.
Il believe that the answer to the farmers
problems lie in cooperative marketing a
reduction in transportation rates on agri-
cultural products and the financing of the
surplus crops that can be held back from
the market during bumper years thus pro-
tecting the price on what the farmer pro-
duces.
"As a rancher myself, have a deep feel
ing for the economic handcaps under which
the farmer labors and, in Congress- pledge
myself to a sincere effort to contribute to
legislation that will tend to place the farmer
on at least a comparable status with the
other industries

 The merger will represent a hun- dred million dollars in theater pro- perties when worked out, and will bring under Famous Players-Lasky direction more than five hundred picture theaters all over the coun- try and several film producing enter prises.

 Chief among it's Chicago holdings are the Chicago, Oriental, Roosevelt, Uptown and Tivoli theaters.
 The company has assets Of about $17,000,000 but at $50 share it's common stock would be worth more than $21,OO0,0OO. The Famous Play ers-Lasky company had assets Of about S71,000,000 at the end of 1925.
 In addition to it's own holdings the Balaban and Katz company has a half interest In Lubliner and Trintz operating 23 theaters here minor holdings in the Great States Theater company and working agreements with many chains Of movie houses.
