SEATTLE BUSINESS MENCALLED ON FOR SQUAREDEAL ON PHONE RATES

Have you read the articles in The Star on gas and telephoneservice and rates in Seattle, written by Charles A. Reynolds, for-mer chairman of the state public service commission?

There is food for considerable thought for every consumer inSeattle, especially for every business man, in Reynolds' articles.He is an authority on the subject. He knows well whereof hespeaks, and he reveals the astounding fact that Seattle has beenmade the "goat," to use the popular vernacular, in the fixing ofrates.

The telephone company, for instance, receives a net per centreturn on its investment in Seattle which is twice as large as inSpokane and four times as large as in Tacoma.

Seattle business men pay $7.50 a month for telephone serviceand $1 extra for each extension phone. Spokane and Tacomabusiness men pay only $6.

That is not good business for Seattle. <

It is just as unfair discrimination as the Union Pa-cific and the < >-\\ . its tributary, have shown against Seattleand the Northwest in the matter of tourist rates. With theaid of Mr Reynolds, The Star ha- compelled a hearing onthat matter in the supreme court of the United States.

THE TOURIST RATESI here were those, shortsighted journalists as well as

business men. who failed to Intost for Seattle by fightingfor a square ileal to this city on tourist rates.

There were those who. failing to see the light, foughtagainst the humanitarian principles involved in the industrialinsurance ad. Yet that law was good business for it hassaved to the industries great sums in insurance premiums,while giving injured workmen a better deal than they usedto get.

THE LIGHT PLANTIt was the same with the city light plant. What a storm

of protest arose from some of our "leading" citizens againstthe establishment of the munv/'ipal project. Vet it has beeninstrumental, directly and indirectly, in reducing the ratest<> 25 per tent of what they used to be. saving millions to Se-attle business men.

So successful has Seattle's plant been that it is todayunable to meet the constantly increasing demand for businessand made application to the Tacoma city plant to purchase"juice" there. It would have netted the Tacoma plant $40"}

a day without extra cost to it?yet Seattle's application wasturned down.

Why? Because the reduced rates made possible by theTaconia city plant have increased the demands for servicein that city to such an extent that the Taconia officials feelthey must hold their surplus "juice" for new consumers oftheir own.

How some of our "business men" fought the belt lineproposition suggested by the |>ort commission! Vet, beforeour very eves, wc see the railroads now about to adopt \irtu-ally that same plan because, forsooth, Seattle business menarc realizing at last the injustice to them in the present switch-ing charges -and are kicking.

MUST BOOST FOR CITYW hat is the point? It is up to Seattle business men to

lx>ost for themselves. In the past, there were some moss-backs \v In» kept the business nun of Seattle from taking theinitiative in these very matters which were t<> their best busi-ness interests.

Seattle is entitled to a square deal today in the telephonerates and in >;as service. Mr. Reynolds hints at public owner-ship li the present discrimination permitted to continue.The Star is interested in seeing this city dealt with fairly.

It is unfair to tax Seattle consumers more for the sameservice under the same conditions than in other cities in thisstate by the same company.

SCARED OF "BUGABOO"There will be those who will howl against public owner-

ship whether it's good business or not. False leaders amongbusiness men and venal newspapers have been preachingagainst municipal ownership ;is a "bugaboo, just as they(ought various humanitarian measures.

Hut it's time to remove the dust from our eyes. Whether

publicly-owned telephones arc good or bad must be determined

on the'merits of the ease and not on preconceived prejudices.LET'S BOOST FOR SEATTLE?and the best way

to boost is to free the city from any discrimination against it.
