mating any future attempt by the
Hell inn puny to cripple their t:ill
connections through the purchase of
or traffic agreements with single ex
changes are assured in the formation
of a new body to he known as the
Independent Telephone system of
Nebraska. An organization has been
incorporated under that title and its
articles are on file with the secretary
of state as well as in the Lancaster
county clerk's office.
The object is to cement the indepen-
lents into one system for business
purpose, without changing the owner
ship of the local plants composing it.
This idea has been worked out by
Nebraska men within the past few
months. It is the fruit of the plan
drafted by the special comittee of
the Nebraska Independent Telephone
association, appointed at the last an
nual meeting to formulate a scheme
which would meet the requirements
of the situation. The committee com
prised the following officers and mem
bers of the association C. J. Cinrlow,
president, Columbus; F. II. Woods,
chairman, of executive committee Lin
coln; K. E. Mattison, secretary, Lin

being limited to one share of stock for
every 500 telephone units which it
owns.
A direct proviso is contained in the
articles the prohibit stock of indepen
dent organizations from being sold
to te Hell. This is guarded against
by several restrictions upon the taking
out or transfer of shares which will
operate in that way so long as the two
systems remain competitors of one
another. The capital stock is fixed
at 10,000, shares being 825 each, and
the specific declaration is made that
the corporation is not organized for
profit but for the transaction of bus
iness at cost for the mutual benefit of
its members.
Although it is only within the past
three months that the plan of unifica
tion was perfected, the idea is already
being taken up by the independents of
other states. Illinois, Missouri and
Kansas have adopted the same plan
of organization, Indiana is working on
one similar to it and Michigan is be
ginning to take it up. At the meeting
of the National Independent Tele
phone association in Chicago, Decem
ber 7 to !), this method of combining
independent interests without con
solidatioii will be one of the important
