"Baloney
Biographs"
tBy MARTY LOUGHMAN)

State of Arizona:
Happy birthday to you. For a
young guy only 35 years old, you are
sure getting ahead.
Today is also ST. Valentines day
Looked up the biography of st. Val
entine yesterday Quite a guy-in
the year 352-and from his martyr
dom sprang the idea of sending a
message of love to your sweetheart
once year at lease. Not bad idea
They do it on st. Valentines day
with pretty lacy cards, etc.
I remember when was a kid they
used to print and send so-called fun
ny Valentines showing up the ugli-
ness in peoples makeup, but they
don't do that any more. Guess they
don't print them any more-and
that's not bad idea, either.
Remember once my Uncle Malachi
was riding home in a crowded street
car and happened to bump into an
old sourpuss with his elbows. Mala-
chi Immediately apologized to the
sourpuss and that sourpuss made
the mistake of trying to baWl my
Uncle Malachi out.
He sez to Malachi, why you lg-
norant Irishman, don't talk to me.
Malachi sez, ''Why you old sour
puss, you are the ugliest lookln'
human bein' 1 ever did see. You
look like comic Valentine
The sourpuss Sez to Malachi
''Why you are drunk. "
And Malachi answers, "Mebbe
am but I'll get over it and I'll be
sober tomorrow morning, but tomor-
row mornin' you'll still be the ugliest
lookin' human being I ever did see.' .

Telephone Business Growing By
Leaps And Bounds; 1909 Phones At
Nogales, An Increase OF 266 For Year

Telephone business at NOgales is
growing by leaps and bounds, ac-
cOrding to Lowell Vinyard, man
ager of the NOgales office of the
Mountain States Telephone &
Telegraph Company.
Vinyard said that in 1916 the
company gained 266 phones in this
city.
At the end of December 1946 held
applications totaled 80 as compared
to 23 a year before. These were
Nogales international., 1947-02-14

applications that could not be filled
due to central office equipment
shortage.
There were 1909 phones in Nogales
at the end of 1916.
The company on Dec. 81, 1916, was
employing 33 operators at it's No
gales exchange. Six years ago the
number was 10.
Seek Rate Revision
The telephone company has asked
the Arizona Corporation Commission
for authority to revise certain ex-
change and toll rates in Arizona to
enable it oameet increased operating
expenses. '''4.s a'''' -
The increases sought are based
solely on today's operating costs
which have risen faster than reve-
nues, Vinyard declared.
The application points out that
although the Company is handling
large volume of business which
increased it's revenues 140 per cent
over 1910, expenses are up 100 per
cent
Earnings on the company's in
vestment in Arizona are at the low
est point in the last Is years. They
declined during the war years and
have continued to decline since, as
operating costs continued to rise.
Net earnings on the company's total
investment in Arizona are now at
going rate of less than one per cent
per year." Vinyard said.
Since 1910 the company has added
about $4,000 in plant investment
in Arizona. Lawson Smith, Arizona
manager, pointed out that during
that time net earnings have so de-
clined that the company is earning
nothing on its additional investment
and annual net earrings are now only
about one fourth as much in 1910.
Smith added that greatly in
creased labor costs and higher ma
terial and equipment costs are some
of the principal expense items af-
fecting earnings. Wages paid in
1916 were $4,246, 800 which was over
four times the 1910 figure. Part of
the increase was reflected in higher
wage rates and part of it was due
to additional employees required to
handle the increased business. At
the end of the year there were 2,100
Arizona telephone employees on the
payroll compared to 781 in 1910.
From each dollar of telephone reve-
nue. now received in Arizona, 68
cents is absorbed by labor costs COM
pared to SO cents in 1910.
1.-The proposed new rates would
increase the company's total reve-
nues in Arizona by approximately
1917 per cent. The effect on indl-
vidual customers will vary consider
ably and will depend on the amount
of equipment they have and the ex-
change in which they are located.
The present schedules Of exchange
rates in Arizona have been in effect
for over 20 years, during which time
the number of telephones in the
state have increased three-fold-
more of course in some exchanges
than others.
"The new rates are designed to
recognize the fact that the value as
well as the cost of the service varies
to a considerable extent with the
number of telephones in an ex-
