In anRwcr to Uieartic1es ; appcar-

position on the telephone great tt
wc desire to say that ' believing
the public bc uninterested in
thc opiniOl1-.wh.kh A. J. Weaver

o
Morchcad who signed them , may
entertain of any man , wc shall
c'onHnl1c"to speak of the telephone
situation and for thc time abate \
any personal allusions which
these Ten ' may makc. \Ve feel
however , that every disinterested
business man in i Palls City will
" thc con-
. sufficiently appreciate
tition to permit us to indulg a
smile when these gentlemen refer
to themselves . "cnterprising-

Bc that .as it clay , wc take . issue
with the statement that "it is
very questionable if the . Falls .

ing.tGn i pcr cent. " These gentlemen , -

more than 532,000 and ten per
cent interest since its last capitalization -
hmtion , which would be $4,000,01'
a total of amore than $3 ,000.
\Vc contend that instead of its
being doubtful whether this
company has paid ten per cent a
year , it has " pttil ! , and because of
thc Monopoly it has enjoyed , over
seventy per cent a yca r.
\Vc aver , and 11 It bc dcnied
arc prepared , to prove it , that this
company when organizcd , was
capitalized at $5,000. That ten
gentlemen put three hundred
dollars a piccc ill thc concern aud
were given $500 in stock therefor
That as the company earned
money , the money so earned
was put back into thc company
in the way of imiiprdveuieiits ; and
extensions , and that new stock
was issued to the stock holders
in lieu of thc cxpcndcd earnings ,
and : that thc original stock hold-
cn ; who paid in $300 and without
thc payment of another Penny
were given at thc last capitali-
zation 51100 in stock , all of which
was paid for with the original
$300. 'his ( company was organ-
izcd in 1S')5 and has been in existence -
istcnce for nine ycars. The percentage -
ccntag-e of earning represented
by thc increase of thc stock , or
in line ] years thc stock of this
company has increas in yaluc

\Vca\'cr and Morchcad say that
the com pan ) ' is worth more than
its capital stork ; that it is worth
in addition thereto the sum of its
indebtcdncss ( more than twelve
thousand dollars ) and ten per
cent interest : since its last capital-
ization , or four thousand dollars.
'l'his makes the stock worth a
prcmium , of $ HJOOO which
prcmium if added to the $1100
stock would make tl.c stock
worth $1'SO. .l'his would make

The company has not only
canicd enough to make this

1r l\orchcad says that in put-
ting a franchise tax of S1000 on
other telephone companies , thc
"city acte(1 wisely for the reason
hat our city has all thc telephone
systems it nccds. " And then in
a few sentences admits that thc
local company has not only permitted -
mittct ! thc Interstate company
access to thc city over the wires
of the > local compan . hut has al-
so permitted thc Stella , Hum-
boldt , Drown County , Kas. , and
thc 'raddoo. ' . , companies thc

done if the city had all the telephone -

\Vhy not go further and say
that thc local company has also
let in thc Nebraska City and
Plattsmouth companies ? Why
not say further that these com-
panics would , like thc Inter-statc
ilt enc thne olTercd , have madc
great reductions in their long dis-
Lance charges If thc city had let
then in ? 11'liy not tell thc whole
truth \ amI say that these companies -

to Falls City at all , were com-

The enormous earnings of thc
local company are founded on its
monopoly. Thc revenue comes , ,
not only from thc use of their .
own wires , but from tri'ltt the ) ' '

which it docs busincss. 'L'he local : -
