PLAYED AN UP HILL GAME The telephone companies of Wash- Ineton County have been playig an uphill game, Septcnber was the month when they put into use a plan : to tax the user an extra dime every , time he called from one torm to an I other. That was the signal for the j removal of a number of farmer's : phones and not a few from the town homes. But the loss of patronage was not the only trouble that followed in the wake of the act. me line through " the county from town . to town was ! the propery of he Bell system. As I soon as the owners of this system j found that the local people wore FRED JENSEN ATTORNEY AT LAW Cady Building Hours 8:60 to 10:30 A. M. Daily v Portland Office: 720 Board of Trade.

Mason Phone Calls Answered Day and Night BEAVERTON .OREGON charging tolls on this line (and they were not long in finding out,) they put over an order requiring all these messages to go through Portland and Portland operators checked up on the time and put it up to the local companies to collect the tolls. When they avcrtised a ten cent toll and pre sented a bill for 25c or 35c or more there was a liberal bit of trouble in store for them and all the profits ac cruing, from the transaction were lost in explaining now it nappenea. wow we get an inferior -service to Hills boro through Bchoils and it is stated that the local companies wilf now build a line of their own through the county. " - , Business men of Beaverton and Hillsboro can do no better than to co-operate with those of Forest Grove and see to it that the local county toll is put out of business. The chief value of a telephone in this county is for the purpose of talking from town to town and its value for this purpose is limited to the extent to which phones are in the homes of the people who live in the neighboring towns, Every telephone taken out of a home in toe county lessens the value of the telephone to each business man. If the companies need more money, we can easily af ford to pay a quarter more each month for a better service. But a telephone in Beaverton just to talk to Beaverton people isn't forth much; it is worth only a little more in Hillsboro or Forest Grove if it can be used just to talk in the local ex change; and if people gain nothing on their long distance calls by hav ing a telephone, thoy will plan on go ing to central to do their long .dis tance phoning, with the result that they write a postal card instead of talking on most oi their business. If we want our telephones to be worth full value to us as business' getting features, we must do our part to have the unnecessary county tolls repealed and get the number of tele phones on the local exchanges in creased to include practically every resident of the county.
