Those people havo never operated a telephone com-pany. There are few business enterprises in which the margin of profit 1ms been as small as in the telephone industry. No one who has investi gated actual conditions has evor accused us of earning exorbitant profits. We've had hard enough time earning any at all. Of late the price of telophono equipment has been increasing, and there has been a feeling in some localities that we should pay higher wages or allow shorter working hours. These conditions havo made it a serious prob lem for this company to got enough money at the present rates to pay expenses and earn suf iicient interest on our present investment to in vite the necessary capital for needed extensions and improvements.
