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.
