Nebraska Telephone Company
PATRONS ,
INCREASE
Because the
important 'to
telephone is an essential public service, it
all telephone users as well as to telephone
employees and investors in telephono securities that this
Company's revenues shall be sufficient to meet its requirements.
Considered on a yearly basis, our present revenues In this
state are approximately $593,000 less annually than arenec
essary to pay operating-expenses and earn 8 per cent interest
annually on the money invested in our property.
In order to provide for the extension of our sorvice to
new people and to new areas we mustv obtain over 1,000,0CK- of
new money annually from investors. To get this money we n:ust
be abie to pay our operating expenses and earn such a rate of
interest as will prove attractive to those who have money to
inyest .
This condition has made it necessary for us to ask the
Nebraska Railway Commission to approve an increase in our
rates. But even with the increase asked for, our total rev
enues will only be sufficient to enable us to earn approxi
mately 62 per cent annually on our investment in this state.
An increase of 10 per cent has been asked in exchange rates
to be applied as a sur-charge. This course has' been followed
rather than to request complete new schedules oT rates, be
cause it is impossible under present conditions to determine
what permanent rates should be.
A change in long distance rates has been requested which
will produce approximately a 7 per cent increase- in our toll
These changes apply only on person-to-person calls,
will be made in station-to-station toll rates.
You are well aware of the Increases which have taken place
in wages, material prices, freight rates, fuel prices, rents
and interest rates. The price of all these items and others
affect the cost of furnishing telephone service. To illus
trate: We are now paying over $1,700,000 more annually in
wages in this state than 'three years ago, of which only
750,000 is fornew employees added during that period. And
the cost of materials used in the up-keep of our property has
Just atiout doubled the last few years.
Thl3 statement' is made in accordance with our policy of
.giving .the public full' information about our affairs, and we
"feel siire' that? it wJ?ll be accepted in the same spirit of
fairnes's' arid' co-operation that has always characterized the
publics attitude toward this company.

Vote for RE-ELECTION of
CHIEF JUSTICE
Andrew M. Morrissey
"The political parties have made no
nominations for Chief Justice. The
Chief Justice Is not elected as a party
candid ite, but his name will be found
with ether Judicial Candidates, and
school officers on a separate ballot.
"We favor the re-electlon of Chief
Justice Morrissey because we believe
In the law designed to take the
courts out of politics and to elect
Judges because of their qualifications.
"Six years ago when he became
Chief Justice the court was about
three years behind. Today the court
Is as nearly up with Its work as It Is
practicable for a supreme court to be.
Credit for this is not wholly due to
the Chief Justice, but other members
f the court who have contributed to
this result give full credit to Chief
Justice Morrissey for his share In Ite
accomplishment.
"He has executive ability that gets
results. He enjoys the friendship and
co-operation of his associates. He has
the respect and confidence of the
lawyers who have business In the
Supreme Court. He has helped to
clear away many technicalities of the
law. Law-breakers have been brought
to-Justlce and honest men enjoy the
protection of the rrnirls.
