TELEPHONE SERVICE HERE
AND ABROAD.
Mr. Vail’s combination in rc'
slraint of trade, as the United
States prosecutor alleges, asserts
that it is operating 500.000 tele
phones ii this city and is adver
tising for more. Governments
never advertise to increase busi
ness, because it is no advantage
to managers of public utilities to
increase business. Their support
is by taxes, and it is easier for
incompetents to get a vote of
taxes than to increase their effi
ciency.
How remarkable is the effici
ency of this combination in re
straint of trade appears from the
fact that New York, the smaller
city at present, has a half mil
lion telephones against 235,000
for London. eBrlin has 210,000
and Paris has 92,000. Roughly
speaking, the efficiency of the re
spective governments is the
measure of the efficiency of the
telephone systems they operate,
and nothing could be surer than
that New York City would not have
a half million telephones if they
gave no better service than is giv
en under the foreign systems.
There was a distinct deterioration
in the British service when taken
over from the private owners, and
the German system was crippled
when the needs of the budget
shortened the telephone credits.
The French system is so far be
low comparison with the Amer
ican that nothing need be said
about it.
Nothing is more inferesl ing as
an example of I lie difference be
tween public and private efficien
cy than the history of the tele
phone development. Germany is
the leading example of govern
mental efficiency and ranks next
to the United States, which is
the leading example of the pri
vate telephone. The United
States has seven limes as many
‘stations as Germany, and 15.
019,00(1 miles of wire against
Germany’s 2.733,700. There are
nineteen billion telephone conver
sations in the world each year,
and the United Stales contributes
13,229,900.000. With but five per
cent, of the world’s population,
the1 United Slates possesses 09
per cent of the world’s telephones
and 05 per cent of the telephone
mileage.
This disparity does not exist in
the case of the mails, which are
on a .uniform basis of public
ownership. I.cavin'* out the un
civilized countries and confining
the comparison to the nations
most nearly comparable with the
nUited States, that is Europe, the
development of Europe is one
twelfth that of the United states.
Yet Mr. Vail is not altogether sur
that he will not have to go to
jail as a conspirator in resiraint
of the telephone trade.—New York
Times.
The “Banana Slide" is the lat
est thing in dances. A rather
yellow affair, we take it.
“Jackrollers” should be per
mitted no longer to feel like sing
ing: “Merrily We Roll Along.”
Having foreign armies camping
on its frontiers is one of the eas
iest things that Montenegro does.
Perhaps it would be advisable
to negotiate new treaties between
the states and the federal govern
ment.
