IMLOE BIOHT TELEPHONE COMPANY FAGES PROBLEMS "In the clamor about the proper legislation for the preservation of the railroads after their return to their owners," said a representative of the local telephone company yester day, "one is apt to forget that all the telephone systems of the country, taken overbodily by the Government during the war, wore turned back on short notice just a few months ago? and without any remedial legislation. 1 would not minimize the seriousness of the railroad situation, which is one demanding careful consideration, bu}. the probleins of the telephone companies are m their way just as serious. The tel< phone company has .* its troubles, too." "There are in this country several hundred thousand citizens with their money invested in telephone proper irto n on 11 o-?r?-r?cm snmothinc V W Mil Mg^l^'QMVV ~ - v, like two billions of dollars. The bus-1 iness employes about .S00,000 people. About sixty cents out of every dollar f the cost of running the average telephone system goes for wages, and the people engaged in the business are no more immune to the high cost of living than those in other lines of work?and as it has cost them more and more to live, their pay has hud lo go higher and higher. The equipment uwi material the company must buy to keep up its plant has increased in cost from .TO -per cent to TOO per cent?an average of perhaps 75 per cent to 85 per cent for the things used most frequently. Sundry expenses?the lmndrcd and one miscellaneous item:-! of expense in the business ?they have all increased, too; they average around 00 per cent higher than in 1014. Is it any wonder that it costs more to make telephone service now than it did in the 'good old days' before the war?' ."It has been practically impossible to keep the service up to pre-war standards in most places. The difficulty obtaining labor and materials for maintentnee work during the war prevented many companies from main taming their plants to the old standard; every telephone company is going to need considerable money dur- ( ing the next year or so, to put its prop erty back to the old before-the-war standard of efficiency." "The aggregate of increases in telephone rates throughout the country since 1914 has been far lass than the total increases in expenses. The ine leases in exchange rates will gencroily, hardly average 20 per cent according to the best statistics available.' "No utility can manufacture even a reasonably satisfactory service when its income is inadequate for the purpose. The telephone company' possesses no magic power by which if can obtain present-day labor an i meet present-day expenses at pre war prices. The telephone company is not a free agent; its income is limited by the rates it is allowed, by regulation of public authority, to charge for its services . When the rate is too low, the service must inevitably fall below the standard of efficiency needed and demanded by the American public." "Telephone service has become too valuable and too essential in our ev* ry^dny <ttfe bo i?Ucnw -it to become imjjairsfl tjrr Tendered leas useful when v^uctily moderate an advance in the coat of the seivice to each usor rs all *fwft is neressary to keep the business going and the service satisfactory, even in these days of the 'high cost of living'."?Advt. i\mf i * mmrnamtmm Dates must bq made ten days Ahead of Sale.

A bill to prohibit the sale of any vehicles other than those having fifty six inch tread after January 1, 1921, has been introduced in the house. It would provide a penalty of from $10 to a $100 or imprisonment of from five to thirty clays. A bill to prohibit the use of motor cais on the public highways without motor license numbers has also been introduced.

Berlin.?Indication of the governmerit's growing concern over the extiadition of Germans, accused of war offenses, was given in the note sent to the Allies asking revision of clauses of the Versailles treaty. The attempted assassination of Mathias Erzberger, minister of finanace, last Monday is viewed in official circles ds a precursor of what is likely to happet on a larger scade if the govern mcnt, yielding to the Allies, appeals to force in arresting men on the list submitted by the Entente powers.
