Postm aster General Burleson is following up
the Kucossful |operation of parcel post by recom
mending immediate acquisition by purchase
a t appraised value of the "commercial telephone
net w ork" except the farm ers lines. I t would
provide that the Postm aster General may issue
removeable licenses to private individuals to
operate lines not acquired by the g o v e rn m e n t-
Pointing out that the Government directed
s< i vice would be more nearly universal, the re-

"The private monopoly has no incentive to
extend its facilities to unprofitable territory; but
the Government must serve all the people.. This
universol service is accomplisned by the equaliz
ation of rates. In fixing.rates the policy o fth is
Government is to uper-impose no change for
taxation, but only to see to it that the service,
as a whole is self-supporting. The private mon
opoly, on the other hand, m ust make a profit,
and, in providing for this, tends to increase its
rates to the highest price th a t will not, by too
greatly restricting the volume of business, im
pair the aggregateqjrofit.
___"According to the best available data, the
capitalization of the long-digtcncc and toll lines

Government would be less than the appraised
value, since it would be undersirable for the
Government to purchase the real estate holdings
of the Companies. Exchanges could be leased
until accommodations could be provided in the
postoffices and stations. ”

HON. LAWRENCE T. HARRIS *
•Judge I^iwrenceT. Harris has announced th at
he will seek the nomination of suprem e judge.
We are confident th a t it is not Judge H arris’
personal desires, as much as it is those men
acquainted with his qualifications for the posi
tion, and are interested in seeing the best men
possible in public service, urging him to make
an effort to secure the nomination, th at has
caused him to stand for the office.
Hon. L. T. H arris has several tim es in the pagt .
refused to allow himsplf to be a candidate- for
office, when there were good reasons to believe
he could have easily been elected.
He chose when a student to prepare himself
for a legal c a re e r^ a n d had hardly begun the
practice o f law when his exceptional ability for
it was impressed on those who came in contact
with the young attorney. He has not allowed
anything to interfere with his chosen work, and
to vote for such a jn a n to a high public office
will be Counted by those who know him, as an
opportunity to show appreciation of bis fitness.
