In spite of the fact that a great majority of the telephone using public thoroughly understand the rights, duties and obligations of pub lic service companies, we find now and then an individual who does not understand the matter. A telephone company in it3 broadest sense, is a partnership consist ing 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 rafes, services and practices. The company furnishes the facilities with which these rights are exercised and the services rendered. Those member's of the public who constitute the cus tomers, furnish the revenue with which the company is enabled to per form these services. No telephone company can exist without custom ers, and these customers must be treated with fairness both by the com pany and by the State. The State does not permit any undue burden to be placed upon a customer. A public service coq;oration, in a broad sense, is merely an organ ized right to render the public a service, and in the same larger sense the service belongs to the company's customers. It follows thatthc customers are really the company. What benefits or harms the one has a like effect upon the other. We are anxious that our present customers, applicants for service, and the company shall be treated fairly. To continue to extend our ser vice under our present conditions is impossible. We invite our custom ers, the public of Oregon, to interest themselves in our problem. PACIFIC TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH COMPANY The Country Printer and Publisher and His Revenue IN TI1KSK T1MKS OK lfHCUNSTKL'CTlON AND liEADJUST MtlNT it ill becomes the advertiser and buyer of printing to object to the reasonable advances in prices which country pub lishers and printers are establishing for the continuation of their business. The country printer and publisher with few exceptions, lias never enjoyed the remuneration demanded by his banker, grocer, cloth ier, lumber dealer, carpenter, bricklayer, plumber, painter, and repre sentatives of various other mercantile lines and trades. It may have been his own fault, lie may have been too "fair'1 with his patrons nnd not fair enough with himself. Be that as it may, within the last several months he has been given stern object lessons in business economics, and as a class has become convinced that he is entitled to a compensation for his capital employed, labor and money expended and intelligence and ability required, ou a par with other businesses comparable to his. And he is right. Even though there is a general falling market, prices will for sev eral years remain at a higher level than before the war. The printer and publisher will have to pay more for the things he has to buy for himself, his famly and his business, and it is therefore right for him to ask and receive better prices for what he has to sell, and lay a new foundation that will hold up his business structure under the new conditions which will assail it. Those publishers who have not already done so should lose no time to protect themselves in this matter. And those printers and publishers who have been able to establish a price level fair to themselves and their customers should be deaf to importunities for n reduction. It is to the shame of hundreds of communities all over the country that the local papers and printing plants have.been closed for lack of patronage suflicient for the proprietor to continue them and maintain his self-respect as a citizen and a business man.
