The Telephone Merger
The telephone, llko water works and
street railway service, is a natural
monopoly. Therefore tho news of a
telephono merger In tho southeast
I'latte country is welcome. Under
state regulation of rates and service it
is possible to prevent tho monopoly
from unduly oppressing the people,
cither by extortionate charges or in
adequate 6crvlce. The people of any
city arc foolish to admit a second tele
phone company unless the original
company refuses to give servlco or at
tempts to exuet unreasonable rates.
Lincoln welcomed tho competing com
pany because the Bell company, secure
in what it thought an ironclad monop
oly, gave little heed to the complaints
of the public against excessive rates
and miserable service. The dual tele-
A-r
r .-",'
-.. jr-iw..
phone svstem ha- been expensive, bill
it wa- worth all it eost liecau-e it emu-
pulled I'litli companies to give service.
Now the competing companies ate
coiisolid itod, hut there is liltle or no
danger of a ret'irii to old e uiditions.
The sta'e railway eoniinls-ion !- em
powered to rcgu'utc the rates and to
command adequate service.
It is not unlikely that an immediate
move will be made to increase the
rates. The telephone is unlike any
other public service. If one citizen
has city water in tils house lie is not
discommoded if no other citizen has it.
But no man would give a penny a year
for a telephone in his house if he
couldn't use it to talk to some one else.
The greater (lie number ol 'plumes to
which a plume renter may talk, the
larger the expense of maintenance,
therefore ttie large rental that must
be demande I. Hut any request for in
creasing tin rates will have to stand
scrutiny, anil no arbitrary increase
will be submitted to. Having tried
out tlie dual system once ami Uniting
it a good thing to compel good service
ami reasonable rates, die people will
not hesitate to do it again if they be
come convinced that the monopolistic
.cirptiration is trying to gouge them.

Seed Corn Condition
''" ' Is a Serious One
Special l" the HI IKK
Omaha, Xebr., Jan. 1(1, l'.il2 -"The
condition of the seed corn of the state
is iu even condition than at first antic
ipated," said Prof. '. W. Pugsley of
the Nebraska Kxperlmeut Station iu
nn address to the Nebraska Farmers'
Congress at a session held at the South
Omaha Live Stock Exchange last Fil
day.
"We have extended our tests so that
from more than thirty counties in the
state has' been examined and wc find
that tkeltuatlon is critical," said he
"Unless you farmers test your seed
corn and are absolutely sure it will
germinate, you are going to bo dissap
pointed when tho crops are harvested.
"Well versed farmers, who have
made a study of seed conditions tell
me that they have never seen such a
grave condition. The corn belies Its
looks. Some of it has the outward
appearance of good corn but on the in
side It is dead. The only way you can
ascertain the condition of ymrcoru is
by testing It, You must test or take
the consequences.
"I fear you do not realize the con
dition. And I want to know just
where you stand. The Commero'.al
Club of Omaha is taking an interest in
the proposition and yon should co-op
erate by not only testing your own
corn but by urging your neighbor to
do the same.
"Bou't tako anything for granted.
He sure of your corn before you plant
it. You have ample time now. But a
month from now may be too late "
The Farmers' Congress, by resolut
ion, unanimously eudorsod the cam
paign urging tho testing of seed corn
and pledged to their co-operation to
that end.
According to Prof. Pugsley, very few
sections haVe been found where there
is enough seed corn for the commun
ity. At present his department Is
working to ascertuln the localities
which have more than they need. As
boon as this is determined, the farmers
of Nebraska will be Informed, so that
they can securo corn that will produco
a normal crop,
Unless the right kind of seed is
planted, tho loss will bo enormous.
Only by a proper test of seed corn, can
a normal yield be secured.
Tho continued cold weather of the
past month is making tho condition
even more serious than it was. Corn
stored in cribs has moro or less mois
ture and tho continued cold weather
is killing the germs by freezing.
An extensive campaign is bolng wog-
ed by tho business mou of Omaha, who
reallzod that the situation is a grave
one. Tho various, commercial . inter
ests are putting their time and money
at the disposal of tho committees,
which are urging the testing of seed
corn. i
Test your seed corn, farmers, and
