A. J . DlBrvUG - St. Helens In spite of the fact that a great majority of the telephone using public thoroughly understands the right, duties and obligations of public service companies, we find now and then an individual who does not understand the matter. A telephone company, in its broadest sense, is a partnership consisting of the State as an institution, the public as a group of customers, and the company. The State determines the extent to which the company may go and regulates its rates, services and practices. The company furnishes the facilities with which these rights are exercised and the services rendered. Those members of the public who constitute the customers, furnish the revenue with which the compan y is enabled to perfom these ser vices. No telephone company can exist withoot customers, and these customers must be treated with fairness both by the company and by the State. The State does not permit any undue burden to be placed upon a customer. A public service corporation, in a broad sense, is merely an organized right to render the public a service, and in the samt larger sense the service belongs to the company's customers. It follows that the customers are really the company. What ben efits or harms the one has a like effect upon the other. We are anxious that our present customers, applicants foi service, and the company shall be treated fairly. To continue to extend our service under our present conditions is impossible. We invite our customers, the public of Oregon, to interest them selves in our problem. The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company L3C Boys and Girls! Santa Says Here in His Tov HAJr,.M.
