To the Editor of The Tribulu- ' We have all receivtd the invitntion to the opening of the Telephone Ex change to occur the day before tho election on the franchise matter, nnd tho letter urging us to vote for the resolution which the council passed. In the letter signed by the manager of tho Telephone Company it is stated that j neither the Nebraska Telephone Com Ipany or the North Platte Telephone Company '"can raise its ratc3 without the consent of the people and the rail wny commission." This statement is made by the Telt phone company for tho purpose of in ducing tho people of North Platte to vote in their favor on this question, but the statement is absolutely ind entirely false, as far ns the consent of tho people is concerned. It is true that the rates cannot be raised without the consent of tho Railway Commission but tho consent of the people is not ovon necessary and never is asked and the rates always ore raised against their consent. At the present time tho Nebraska Telephone Company is hav ing a contest before the Railway Com mission with the citizens of Lexington upon the question of raising the rates there. Wo in North Platte have had the tele phone rates raised without our consent and without our actual knowledge. Nearly every resident in this city is paying $1.50 per month for a two party line service, whereas we before paid but $1.50 per month for a one party lino. This rate was filed with tho State Railway Commission and no notice was given, and no notice is required to be given to the people. Of course the people can go before tho Railway Com mission and make a fight as tho citizens of Lexington and other towns are doing, but this is expensive. The rates in North Platto are now tho highest tele phono rates charged in the state of Ne braska, with the exception of Omaha and Lincoln. What will be done with tho rates after the telephone company has got a good franchise as they desiro and so earnestly seek with the aid of our mayor, "no one knows. By the way, who is paying for the "flowers for ladies and cigars for gentlemen" to bo given away tho day before election? All tho revenue of the Telephone Company comes from the people, so that wo aie buying our selves floweiband cigars. Very truly, Wm. E. Shuman. Harry Dixon is spending the day in Oshkosh on business.
