Iauc year, for instance, the telephone company spent more
money for taxes, wages and similar oweraun* expanses,
and for additions to the plant in South Carolina than it
collected for telephone scrvke.
If the telephone company had depended solely on its
operating revenue k could mot have improved and enlarged
the telephone system to the extent of $1,065,000.
Our ability to borrow money so mot* these qhjhfooi and

management, and their belief that pou arc Willing to pay
rates for service which will earn a seasonable return on
the investment.
The cost of everything used in rendering wis phone service
has increased enormously, but the eHts hove advanced so i
slightly that your telephone dollar now buys more than any
other dollar you spend.
The margin between revenue and expense ia rapidly
dwindling and the increased coats of fhrnithfog telephone
service presents a problem in which every telephone user
has a vital interest.

Chamberlin I'ayH Duty on Cifts
^ ,
New York, Nov. 20.-?The inconsistency
of government officials in
their dealings with the nation'*
distinguished sons had another
illustration today in an episode related
by Clarence D. Chamberlin,
second flyer to -cross the Atlantic,
in connection with his return from
his triumphant tour over Europe.
"1 received prizes from every foreign
government I visited," Mr.
Chamberlin said, proudly displaying
some of the handsome exhibits.
"But my , own government not only
did not give me any prizes but
charged me a heavy duty before it
allowed the trophies given me
abroad to enter this country. And
they told me in no uncertain terms
that I could take it or leave it."
It will be remembered in this
connection that Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh came back from his flight
to Paris on the battleship Memphis,
which carried, his plane and the hundreds
of trophies he received, free of
duty. Chamberlin had to pay over
$100 in duties.
