PAYROLLS ID PROSPERITY
Oregon needs more and larger payrolls. Prosperity is a
r concrete condition, not an abstract thought. It is created by
the opportunity for work, the investment of money in new and
enlargement of old projects, the development of trade, the
meeting of producer and consumer, .the exchange of labor for
purchasing power.
The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company, repre
senting a payroll of approximately $3,000,000 per year m Ore
gon, has reached a point beyond which it cannot go with its
present income. It has asked for higher rates which will enable
it to maintain its service, meet its payroll obligations and earn
a reasonable return upon its investment in Oregon. If it ob
tains this it can carry on its construction program, offer more
work in Oregon, enlarge its payrolls and take its proper part
in the progress of this state. If it cannot secure adequate rates
it must limit its expansion in every way, abandon its plans foi
extensions and lay off its construction crews.
The rates asked for will not work a hardship upon any
individual; thev represent but a small increase per station
over present rates, but in the aggregate would permit the tel
ephone company to continue to fully serve the public, carry out
its plans for the development of Oregon, and do its part in cre
ating and maintaining the prosperity which is essential to this
state.
Adequate service is dependent upon adequate rates.
