whether the particular person desired
responds or not. This rate up to 2t
tulles is at the rate of 5 cents for r.lx
miles, and for greater distances 5
cents for each olght miles, or about
fit, mills n mile Tho distance Is
computed by air lino methods, and
not by pole lino or public highways.
Tho air line distances are commonly
about 100 miles, when the others
would run 150 miles, it Is stated
by the committee that more than 60
varieties of toll rates have existed In
the I'ntted States up to the present

basic rate In the station to station

about TO per cent of the rates, tho
necessarily slightly raising about 30

much work to wtabllsh connection

has also been urd to defraud tho

Designing persons employ codes mi

of explanation given from his phone ;
answer all the purposes of tho call
under the code arrangement j
"The particular person service Is
not discontinued, but the rate there-
tor Is so modified as to prevent these
abuses and compensate the telephone
service In part for tho extra expense
of labor and plant Involved, and a
charge of 25 per cent of the station
to station rato Is made for such serv
ice, when the particular person Is se
cured, and a report charge of 25 per
cent of the station to station n,to Is
made when the house or oitlce tele
phone Is obtained and his where
abouts or refusal to talk Is reported
"In many large sections of the
country the smallest toll rate has not
been less than 15 cents I'nder tho
new schedule for short distances the
rates are reduced to 5 cents and 10
cents, and for the cheapest form of
service the person can talk for live
minutes, as compared with three min
