Osteopath,
Ramsey,
A dollar in the hands of the telephone company has
no greater purchasing power in the labor and mat­
erial market than has a dollar in the hands of the I
individual.
Increase in wages and prices of materials cannot be
paid without money and the telephone company is
no more capaole of paying out money it hasn’t got
than is the individual.
The telephone company must be provided with
means to* meet the demands made upon it for in­
creased wages and increased cost of materials. As 6.
these increased costs are obviously reflected in the
cost of rendering telephone sei-vice, the telephone
company must ask the telephone using public to
pay for the service it receives.
Higher wages can be paid, increased costs of mat­
erial met, and satisfactory and improved service
can be furnished, only when the rates are sufficient
to meet the costs of rendering the service with a
sufficient margin for a reasonable return upon the
investment.
A large territory served by a utility with many pat“
rons may produuce large gross receipts, but not
necessarily huge profits. The State of Oregon is a
large territory and the telephone company serves
a large number of patrons and has large gross re­
ceipts, but small profits. Under present rates and
conditions it will earn less than 3 percent on the
value of its property in the state. The idea that a
large corporation doing a large business must nec­
essarily be accumulating great wealth is a preval­
ent fallacy which the public must get away from.
Telephone rates in the State of Oregon have re­
mained practically the same for the last fifteen
years or more. There have been a few adjust­
ments in various classes of service to meet demands
of the service, with a corresponding adjustment
in rates. Increases in rates are now made because
of absolute necessity which made it imperative.
Make your ow n comparsion of your telephone rate
with the increased cost of shoes, clothing, food pro­
ducts and all other necessities. Is not the increased
telephone rate reasonable and consistent in com­
parison?

Every one has heard of small trees

Is most curious mid It has engaged the
' attention of nearly ull travelers in the
Thana district of Bombay, where the
i palm is especially abundant.
If one fancies how incongruous a
' very tall telegraph pole fixed into the
middle of an oak tree and surmounted
by a small crown of fun-shaped leaves
would look, it can be realized how
astonishing the first encounter with
the Palmyra palm must be, when sim­
ilarly united with u tig tree. An ex­
planation, of course, had to be found,
and the first casual observers might be
divided Into those that thought It a
case of a hybrid, and the remainder
who considered It a graft. But botun-
ists know that no hybrid or graft Ims
ever been produced between two spe­
cies that ure so distantly related ns

slsts of the minute fruits of the
fig trees.
After collecting a few of these,
usually fly off to the top of a tall palm
to enjoy them in peace. Some of the
seeds fall and become lodged in the
joints where the leaves spring from
the stem. Here. In process of time,
they germinate, throwing out roots be­
low nnd branches and leaves above.
But tlie roots of these fig trees are
not content to draw their moisture and
food from tlie little pocket of sand and
dust into which they happen to fall.
They soon multiply and spread fur be­
yond their original home, into a thick
network that covers and envelops the
whole of the lower part of the Palmyra
stem. Branches at the same time mul­
tiply above, forming n large bush,
which, with the roots, monopolizes the
situation and makes the palm look like
a mere adjunct. But the palm does
not ndnd. All the air it wants is for
the lenves above.
The encircling sheath of fig roots,
moreover, cause It no Inconvenience,
because it would not, In any case, In­
crease In girth after It bad once risen
from the ground. It Is, In fact, a case
of symbiosis or mutual accommodation
between the two species. The palm
gives the necessary assistance to the
baby fig. and afterward support to Its
maturing branches, while the foliage
which these bear provides welcome
shade to the roots of its patron.—Jour­

Film Stars Musn’t Osculate.
The police of Japan do not like
see kissing in public and therefore
film stars are not permitted to oscu­

to March 1 the police censors removed
2.350 kisses from films. Only one kl«s
was allowed to remain. It was « kiss
granted to Columbus by Queen Isabel
in and was shown in Tokyo only, us
"the censors deleted It before permitting
the photoplay “Columbus," to discover

Three hundred and fifty-three em
braces were omitted from films, states
the Far East. The titles of 2.144 pho­
toplays were altered by the censors i
nnd 127 murder scenes were killed.
Reels entirely prohibited numbered 57.
