That Should Be in Every Home
Suppose tonight you have a sudden attack of neuralgia—a

baby in your home—a vacuum bottle
at the right temperature all through
when you want it, and no getting up
milk.

Reasons for Increased Telephone Rates
1. A dollar in the hands of the telephone company
has no greater purchasing power in the labor and ma­
terial market than has a dollar in the hands of the in­
dividual.
2. Increases in wages and prices of materials cannot
be paid without money and the telephone company is
no more capable of paying out money it hasn’t got than
is the individual.
3. The telephone company must be provided with
means to meet the demands made upon it for increased
wages and increased cost of materials. As these in
creased costs are obviously reflected in the cost of ren­
dering telephone service, the telephone company must
ask the telephone using public to pay for the service
it receives.
4. Higher wages can be paid, increased costs of ma­
terials met, and satisfactory and improved service can
be furnished, only when the rates are sufficient to meet
the costs of rendering the service with a sufficient mar­
gin for a reasonable return upon the investment.
5. A large territory served by a utility with many
patrons may produce large gross receipts, but not nec
essarily huge profits. The state of Oregon is a large
territory and the telephone company serves a large
number of patrons and has large gross receipts, but
small profits. Under present rates and conditions it
will earn less than 3 per cent on the value of its prop
erty in the state. The idea that a large corporation
doing a large business must necessarily be accumulat
ing great wealth is a prevalent fallacy which the public
must get away from.
6. Telephone rates in the state of Oregon have re
mained practically the same for 15 years or more. There
have been a few adjustments in various classes of ser
vice to meet demands of the service, with a correspond­
ing adjustment in rates. Increases in rates are now
made because of absolute necessity which made it im
perative. Make your own comparison of your telephone
rate with the increased cost of shoes, clothing, food
products and all other necessities. Is not the increased
telephone rate reasonable and consistent in comparison?
