WHAT IS YOUR TELEPHONE SERVICE WORTH ? The Pacific Telephone nnd Telegraph Company has built up a tele phone system in Oregon from 7027 stations in 1900 to 91,528 stations in 1920. This development was secured for the most part during a period when cost of labor and materials was normal. During these 20 years the Telephone Company has carried out its part in the building of Oregon. Its operating expenses have increased faster than its revenue for the last five years it has been operating nt an increasing deficit. This condition cannot permanently continue. New capital cannot be obtained by public utilities at all except when rates arc such as will afford reasonable assurance, with efficient manage ment, of earnings sullk-ient to care for legitimate fixed charges nnd estab lish for them a basis of credit This does not mean that rates should be Fuch as in themselves will supply new capital, but that they be such as to justify capital investments in competition with other business ventures. The proposed rates represent a very small increase to the individual user From 2l2 to 1 1 cents per day. In the aggregate they represent a revenue to the Telephone Company sufficient to enable it to continue to serve the public, meet its payroll obli gations and bliow a reasonable return upon a legitimate investment. Adequate service is dependent upon adequate rates. The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company Vlavl, the old reliable home rem edy. Prevents operations. Mra. W. L. Smith. Phone 2 2 7-J.
