Cpps Brown, President. SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH COMPANY What the Company Asks .. t The Compand asks to earn only such prof its as are necessary to protect the rights of tha public. The public needs and demands adequate and efficient service, now and in the future. To furnish this service, ^ additional facili ties, costing many million dollars must he constructed. This money piust he gotten from the in vesting public. Investors will not put their money Into an established business unless they are sure of a fair and adequate return upon their in vestment. - - They cannot receive a fair and adequate return Upon their investment unless the business earns a fair $nd Just proft. The Investor is guided by the profits earn ed Hi. the past, and the prospects of profits to be earned in the future. When the Company's profits are such as will enable It to obtain from the investing public the money needed to furnish adequate facilities *o supply the demand for service, its earnings will be fair and reasonable. A fair and reasonable profit is as neces sary for the protection of the right* of the public as It la for the protection of the prop- erty rights of the Company. What return Is a fair and just profit de pends upon general economic conditions. What was a fair and just profit in 1*14 la not a fair and just profit In m* The investor Is entitled to. and demands, the same return upon bis money Invested In the telephone bostueea as be receive* on r In reeled t0 other bmdastSSU. must en The available supply of money for invest* ment is limited. The opportunity and de mand for new capital is unprecedented. The telephone business must compete with all other businesses, public and private, for this money. The investor will put his money in the en terprise which assures him the best return. To protect the rights of the public to re ceive adequate/isenrice, the profits of the Telephone Company must be sufficient to attract the Investing public. ^ To do this the. Company must earn as much as ten per cent upon its Investment. The Company's Investment is all physi cal property: poles, wires and equipment exclusively used in furnishing telephone service. No franchise, going value or any Intangibles are included,, nor is there any bonds, stocks or other forms of capitalisa tion Involved. The amount of the Company’s Investment is what It originally cost to construct its physical property: the “bare bones'* of its telephone plsnt Practically all of the plant waa cQH»*Hirte<1 at tow pre-war prices. Its present valne today is much greater then its original cost. To refffoduc* the Company’s plant at to day's prices, after making full allowance for Its present condltlcn. would cost U per cent more than the Investment. Ten per cent return upon the Investment la lees than I tier cent upon the value of the Compenv's property.
