Bell Telephone rates are based on hat it costs to girt efficient lerrice, pins a
yery reasonable profit on the investment in property upon which absolutely no "wat
ered stock" has ever been issued, as has been certified to and confirmed by thousands
of impartial examinations and investigations by commissions and governing bodies.
For many years the Bell Company has not paid more than an 8 per cent divi
dend, and in Nebraska our dividends have been less than that
The rates In this country are graded to suit users desiring arions kinds of serv
ice, but in Europe this is not the plan. In Paris for instance, there is only one rate for
business and residenoe, the cost being $77.20 a year. Paris has 95,000 telephones;
Philadelphia has over" 133,000 telephones and the rates paid for 90 per cent of these
are under the Paris price.
Chicago has more than 300,000 telephones and 80 per cent cost less than the
Paris rate; Budapest has 24,567 telephones, which cost just $60 a year eaoh for resi
dence or business ; Ocha has 32,000 telephones which cost a maximum of $72 and a
minimum late of $24, and 86 per cent of the telephones in use in Omaha cost less than
the lowest rate of Budapest. i
In connection with European telephone rates, which are in many respects actually
higher than those of the United States, we must not forget wages, which are a large
part of the cost of operating a telephone plant The following tables give the weekly
wages of telephone operators (in tha large towns only), in the countries named; ,
Aitlrtt tJUVft
Belgium tAQ
France '. 4.10
Germ Umpire 4.60
Great Britain.. ...5.84
The above are for a minimum wage, the maximum averaging about 10 per cent
more. The average telephone wages In general in United States are about three times
higher than the average in Europe.
Here is a table that gives the average exchange revenue per telephone per year in
terms of equivalent American dollars in several countries equated on the basis of
operators' wages:
Austria I7Sj60 Orroaa Empire. ....... M (40.40
Belgium ) ..114.80 Great Britain..... 49 JO
Franca 68.60 united Stales (Bell) . . . MJi
The latest reports show that out of 23,570,871 telephones in usa in the world the
United States has 8,729,502, and out of 3,261,834 miles of wire the United States has
'20,248,326.
The states of Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota and the Dakotas hf.ve more telephones
than all Great Britain.
The city of New York has more telephones than all of Prance. Greater Omaha
has as many telephones as all of Spain.
Iowa or Minnesota each have more telephones than all of Russia. Ghioago has
more telephones than all of Austria,
In the United States we have but 6 per cent of the world's population, yet we
have 65 per cent of all the world's telephones.
The service rendered the public by the Bell System is the result of the policy of
building up an efficient organization for nearly four decades. In the organization
every member holding a responsible position has had years of training in his particu
lar duties. Each individual is trained as an essential and important part of the whole,
recognizing his obliuitory relations towards all other parts and his accountability
and responsibility to the organization of which he is a part.
Nearly one person in every thousand in this country is a stockholder in the Bell
System. Within the organization one employee in every five is a stockholder, includ
ing operators, stenographers, linemen and clerks, as well as hundreds of minor
officials.
It is our policy to have every employee proud of the Company, proud to serve it
and its patrons and jealous of their own and the Company's good name.
We give the best telephone service tha, American brains can produce; charge the
lowest rate consistent with prompt and drpendable service: endeavor to treat every,
ono fairly and courteously, and aim to merit a reputation for integrity, efficiency
and decency.
To this policy belongs the credit of making the Bell System w) at it is in reason,
ableness of rates and efficiency of service, t ie premier telephone 3yslera ol the world
and the model after which every other comprehensive telephone system throughout
the world is copied.
