The Telephone Question
In the matter of telephone rates the
burden of providing that the increase
wu? Justifiable is on the company, ex
cept In so far as the railroad commis
sion has assumed it. Costs are de
clining. Wages have declined, and.
despite artificial measures to prevent,
they will decline further. Coal, Cop
per. timber and other materials used
by the 'telephone company are ohea|?cf
now than they were a few months ago,
and they will be still cheaper.
The commodity at the. base of the
business of South Carolina is cotton
and it Is selling at a price less than
one third that prevailed a year ago.
1 'It liua teiy, nut of- Cotton telephone
talcs, for the most part, will be paid
by South Carolinians. Common sense
tells everyone that the telephone com
pany Is required to set forth an extra
ordinary case if an Increase of rates,
following other Increases 'in recent
years is to be defended at this time.
Speaking bluntly, the telephone com
pany :m ust be conceded the possession
of audacity in adopting its course. To
ask the privilege of imposing an addi
tional tax on a large part of the ipitbllc
at the moment when other members of
the public are required to sell for less
at a glance Impresses the oil-looker as
not short of impudent.
A "glance" does not always suffice
to ascertain facts. The State is not
saying that the company falls to pre
sent an extraordinary case. The Stnte
docs not prejudge its contentions or
suggest that they should have been dis
missed by the railroad ?commission. If
fcbe-rallroad com mission was correct in
its decision, it must have hail an over
whelming argument to support it. If
it is wanting la evidence, 'dear, ~eon

That tho telephone company ha? not
earned a fair income in a perhjd of
years (lot** not in itself make out its
caae; Not infrequently a mercantile
firm or cotton mill, exceHently manag
ed must endure two. four or Si* years
of hard times, in which the ow nerw re
calve no dividend*. Between a public
utility corporation and a private con
cern is, to be sure, u distinction. , The
earning* aud profits 'of utility com
panies are subject to legal regulation
and limitation.
The telephone usera, when they a*
notable, should not be concerned exclu
sively with the consideration of rates.
To. the public utility company the pub
He owoh a duty in respect of fho wages
it pays. Two years ago telephone
operatives struck. What did the pulbllc
know about the rights or wrongs of
their contention?- It should "have
known about them. It ought not to
stand by ond accept aervlce, taking
for granted that the young women who
lurnlsh It are properly paid. It is pos
sible that, even with the Increase of
rates, the telephone user is obtaining
service at a price that will not allow
decent compensation to the telephone
worker. If there be ground for com
plaint about the quality of service,
there is reason for inquiry into the
wages of those Who -serve. For all we
know, we are getting more for our
money than we have a right to expect.
Whatever line discussion and .invest I *
nation shall take, the Interest of tele
phone workers should .not be Ignored.
The controversy, that has begun
should fbe. threshed out to- a clear fib Kb.
That ?eanuot be done oti t li?* public's
part without raising money. Ms case
will tumble miles* it shall 'he sustained
by auditors, lawyers and engineers,
who shall delve to the hot pun of It. In
terms of money the cause is big. In
the course of a few years It will involve
millions. I.lttle faith Is to be placed In
the dellverence of mass meetings in
?respect of a money question. uivless
both parties to the dispute lie prepared
to vpeak intelligently.
I 'misstated by trained In vest igator*
the telephone users will not speak in
telligent ly.
The company's side will be prevented
with exactness and it will make duck*
and drakes of the other side unless it
be presented in the same manner. ?
