FRIDAY, MAY Gth, 19io CANADA AND THE TELEPHONE The 450 local•Canadian telephone companies, have tonna that they are able to furnish good telephone service and pay dividends of from six to ten per cent, per annum on the necessary capital invested Some are paying as high as fifteen and even twenty per cent on their capital stock, and in the end, as the population increases, they will find great value in the franchises which. they have developed and held. To say that this work will not be generally taken up and ex- tended all over Canada, even as it has been in the United States, is to say that the Canadian people are slow, and lack enterprise, that they do not recognize the opportunities for investment, and have no inter- est in the advancement of the corn• munity in which they live; for no investment of an equal amount does so much for the social and business advantages of a commu- nity as does the telephone. Farmers especially are benefittocl by its use. Many a iong and dreary drive is saved. In case of accident, of fire, of sickness, in need of help or in- formation, the telephone is your ready, willing servant. It saves time, sal -es money, eliminates dis- tance, increases your earning capa- city and places you in command of ready means of connniunication with your entire community; and all of this for a mere pittance each year/tithe form of rental and a small profitable investment in the way of capital account with which to pay for the installation of the syetem, This money, with which to install the local service, is usual- ly supplied by the residents of the community in whiah the independ- ent system is being installed. This is as it should be. Each locality should build and control its own telephone system, and manage to suit the local needs. As above stated, the investment will prove permanently safo and profitable, and your locality will be greatly benefitted* * * * Experience has shown that the telephone business and telephone securities suffer less in times of financial depression that of any other public ser- vice corporation, the reason being that the investment per individual user is small ; depreciation is light ; and the further fact $hat when a person is once accustomed to the use and benefits of telephone ser- vice, that person will always insist union employing the same on ac- count of the convenience and great economy afforded. it is therefore safe to make the investment, as it will prove permanently profitable and the financing of the various local companies is not difficult or hazardous * * * * The commercial and industrial development of Canada during the past few years 'is almost without laralled in the world's history, while in every partof the Dominion, present ca clitions point to an expansion in the future so vast that it is difficult for the average mind to estimate its proportions, This development coiner only with added population. Added population means added. telephones, and with this in view and the advantages which are offer- ed, we submit the following state- ment of independent telephone con - Miens in the United States for the consideration of thoughtful resid- ents of Canada, where the indepen- dent telephone movement has tak- en firm hold and will surely dew - lop in equal proportions. "Tho tele phone field, although one of our most modern industries. is one of the largest and most important, g and it is most closely connected with the daily life and business affairs of the nation. While electric light, gas and street railway plants are to be found only in the larger cities, telephone systems cover al- most every town and village and jure rapidly spreading over the rival communities, as well. The independent telephone field alone represents son3e $x00,000,000 .or in. rested capital and embraces over. 15 000 compauie14 operating 20,000 exchanges' and employing over 200,000 teen. "It expends $50,000,• 000 • annually for apparatus and supplies, while its employes devote as ,much more to their ,personal regnirernnente and a like arnonnt,to their fa)n,iliew,Jnnd homes. •There are fewer failtl'res among telephone companies ehere there are of nation- al httxi'ke,—in fact, throughout the hardest times, they experienced but few- reverses, and the majority paid as good or better dividends than before; ()vsr 100 new compel. tee are organized every month, and this ratio is expeoted. to • increase rather thee clitniliish during the prosperous time to come Tile em. ployees of the. telephone field are men of ability, well paid, well clothed, well fee, and well housed. They bey for themselves and their homes all of the commodities and luxuries whin:. ordinarily appeal to intelligent and prosperous men of affairs.'' Ths'eeinunerativo feature of the independent telephone in- dustry is one that hey not hitherto received the attention from Ca.na- dian business ;tatse which its ilii portanoe merits The following points are suggested ae being of it terest : 1 Tits telephone requires a steelier investment per capita to I serve a connmueity than any other utility. 2 A needern telephoned plant is more permanent, less liable to deterioration throngh mechani• cal, motion then any other public utility, "therefore the cost of main- tenance andlepreciution is lower. 3 It has been, • demonstrated by ex- perience in tea United States, dur- ing recent years, that the growth of the busindki and earnings of a telephone company are little affect- ed duringperiods of financial de- pression. 4 4s a permanent invest- ment there ino business which can appeal. so favorably to the public its a modern telephone sys- tem. 5 An independent telephone system affords an opportunity for local people to control their own service, and it has been fully de rnonstrated that with modern methods of construction and exis- ting types of apparatus, a group of average business men in any town or village can establish a telephone system and carry on the undertak- ing more economically and to the greater satisfaction of the public than any monopolistic corporation hers ever sncceeked in doing. The foregoing was taken from a pamphlet reeentl,y published by the Canadiert Independent Telephone Co limited, ofToronto, and as they have made a thorough study of the tolephonetituation in Canada, they are,., rr,t..ai , wrei4feratelligent ly on thi' c t— Ed. 34 SF EJELI4Gfl aR D.
