And candy and ice cream one can-

sleep fine, but we have something

freedom 'for all Nations, and we are
darn soon going to have it. Now
mother do not worry or send me
anything towear or eat, I have
plenty to carry on my back now, the
less the better. I do not see how I

Important fiotico to (he Public
CONCERNING TELEPHONE OPERA-
TION AND RATES.
On July 13th Congress passed a resolution au
thorizing the President of the United States to
take over and assume control and operation of all
telegraph and telephone systems in the United
States. On July 23rd President Wilson issued a
proclamation taking over the systems as of August
1, 1918, 'and placing them under the jurisdiction
of the United States Telegraph & Telephone Ad
ministration, a department of the Post Office un
der Postmaster General Burleson. The Federal
Government has now assumed full control of all
the telephone companies and for the present is
operating them under their original names.
The exchanges of the Lincoln Telephone &
Telegraph Company are now leased to and oper
ated by the Federal Government. All profits made
by the Company after paying operating expenses
and fixed charges belong to the Government, like
wise any deficit incurred in the Company's oper
ation must be paid by the Federal Government.
It is the duty, therefore of every citizen to do all
in his power to make the operation of the nation's
telephone and telegraph systems as satisfactory
and profitable as possible.
The Nebraska State Railway Commission has
recently heard and approved an application of the
Lincoln Telegraph &. Telephone Company for an
increase in rates to become effective November
1st. The United States Telegraph & Telephone
Administration has also approved the application.
The Company asked that those of its rates
which are admittedly below the established stand
ard be increased to put them on a par with the
rate charged on other exchanges for the same ser
vice. Approximately one-half of the telephones
operated by the Company will be affected by the
propored rate increase, which will average 29c per
month, or a little les?. than one cent per day per
telephone affected.
This change in exchange rates will not pro
duce enough revenue to meet the demands of the
increased payroll and federal taxes, and it is pro
posed to raise the remainder by adding a percent
age or surtax to each toll bill.
Li order to aid in holding down operating
costs, the Company has secured the approval by
the State Railway Commission of a discount sys
tem for prompt payment which will require sub
scribers who do not pay their bills promptly to pay
an additional 25c per month, but it will not affect
the rental paid by those who pay their city bills
on or before the 10th of each month nor those
who pay thir farm bills before the end of the first
month of each quarter. The discount plan is now
in effect at the Beatrice and Hastings telephone
exchanges, and is universally used by Municipal
ities. Gas, Electric Light and Water Companies.
An emergency exited in the necessity of im
mediately increasing the wages of the great body
of the employes in order that the Company might
retain their services and continue to give proper
service to its patrons. The public, acting through
the rate-making commission, practically fixes the
amount of money to be paid employes of public
utilities when it makes the rates, since the cost
of giving service is one of the vital elements that
determine whether a rate is reasonable.
Other lines of industry and trade that do not
have the price of what they sell fixed by any public
body, needing labor to replace the boys who have
entered the military service, have been able to not
only out-bid the telephone companies for addition
all labor needed, but have been able to hire away
from it many of its most skilled workers. This
has resulted in a "condition where the telephone
service was in danger of serious impairment.
The Company, as a matter of justice to its em
ployes and to enable them to meet the rising cost
of living to them, has increased wages $150,000.00
a year, divided among thoes only whose previous
salaries have been $125.00 per month and under.
Every dollar of the increased revenue goes to those
employes who have received the smaller salaries
and wages, uid to pay increased taxes and other
operating expenses.
No stockholder, bondholder or officer of the
Company will receive any of the fund created by
the increased rental and toll rates. These security
holders are now receiving a very low return, 5.6
per cent per year, on actual money invested, but
inadequate as this is in times when money is com
manding high rates of interest In other lines, no
request is being made for any additional returns.
When subscribers and users pay the new rates prac
tically all of the increase will be distributed among
those faithful employes who are serving them.
The average increase in rentals over rates
established a half dozen years ago will be small
when this increase is compared with those which
every person has been compelled to pay for other
necessities of life. The Company hopes that be
cause the employes are the principal beneficiaries
of this increase every subscriber will retain his
telephone as only by the maintainance of the
revenue will it be possible to pay the new wage
scales:
Beginning November 1st, 1918, the following
schedule of rates will be affective in the Platts
mouth Exchange:
