TELEPHONE RATES ARE THE PRICES WHICH THE PUBLIC
IS ASKED TO PAY FOR TELEPHONE SERVICE
SEE
To be just and reasonable, telephone rates or prices must cover the costs of rendering the
service and leave a profit that will attract to the telephone industry a continuing supply of capital
which is constantly required for extension and improvements.
If rates yield more or less than such amount they are not just. If they-yield more they
are excessive and unreasonable. If they yield less they are unreasonable and are against public
interest be ause they result in a deteriorated service and capital is no longer attracted but direct
ed to other industries that are more profitable and possibly the products of many such industries
are of less importance to the public.
The present rates we believe to be just and reasonable. They were approved by the Post
master General and are effective by Act of Congress.
•
These rates are now being revised by the Public Service Commission of Oregon, which body as
sumes jurisdiction since the Government turned back the telephene properties to private ownership.
