INDIANAPOLIS, June 29. (UP)— Calmness today greeted the statement I of D. C. Stephenson, former grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, that lie is ready to “talk freely” about
Indiana politics.
Prosecutor William H. Remy, of Marion County, to whom the offer was conveyed by specific request of Stephenson, was irked by the open-ne.-s with which the announcement wu- made. He gave no indication of desire to act immediately and commented that “time will show if the
promise is bona fide.’’
Stephenson gave out the statement from his cell in the Indiana state prison at Michigan City. From where he was led a few weeks ago to testify in an investigation by the State i Board of Charities of his charges : that prison officials were treating him cruelly. The board’s report on this inquiry is to be made public on Friday, hut newspaper stories have had it that prison officials are exon-

MONEY NO MEASURE OF VALUE The value of telephone service cannot be measured in dollars and cents, hence the rate charged for service is not based upon the monetary value of the service. It costs so much to operate a telephone exchange in a given community. A community, if it wants the service, should pay the cost. This cost is apportioned among the subscribers on a business, K'-idence, individual, and party-line basis. A fiat rate service, properly apportioned to the various classifications and acceptable to the community served, is the rate structure telephone companies most generally follow. Whatqr/er the schedule, telephone companies, in order to be in a healthy condition, must have sufficient revenue from the community which they -erve to meet all operating expenses including depreciation, and pay a reasonable return. This is what telephone service costs. This is what the subscribers should pay for, and not what it is worth, for its worth i. an unknown quantity when measured by dollars and cents. IMPARTIAL SERVICE TO ALL Your telephone company is not free to do as it pleases in the matter of fixing rates or giving service. The law requires us to serve all applicants impartially. The physician can refuse to receive or tr< at anyone a.- a patient, the hank does not have to loan money to every applicant n ,r does the merchant have to accept us a customer everyone who wants his goods. The telephone company, however, cannot deny service to anyone who applies for it and i- willing to comply with the rules of the company. If in a certain section of the city we have no spare wires and some one applies for service, the law contemplates that we must furnish that service if in so doing the cost is not wholly unreasonable. We cannot select our customers. It is true that some are much more able to pay for telephone -ervioe than others, hut we cannot adjust our charge on the ability of our patrons to pay. We classify our service into two general cla-se.s—busi-ness and residence. These two classes are further divided into party line or individual line service. The law compels us to charge the same price to everyone for the same class of service. We cannot make it on the basis of the ability of the more wealthy to pay or on a price less than (ost to meet the ability to pay of persons of les means or smaller salary. We must adju.-t our rate to the average a’-ility of the community, keeping in mind all the time requirements of the company of a certain amount of gross revenue neressury to give good service. There is no other way. FART OF AN UNIVERSAL SYSTEM The original exchange of the Greencastle Telephone Company has been expanded into a system of more than 1550 subscribers, providing not only a city service in Greencastle hut a service throughout the county. The company has traffic agreements with other telephone systems in adjoining counties and also with long distance companies for toll line service, thereby making it possible for you to talk to any one anywhere, not only in the United States, the Dominion of Canada and the nearby isles of the sea but also to England. You can talk to London just as easily a- to a neighbor across the street and you place your call the same as any other long distance call. This vast telephone system of the entiru country, with its 17,000,000 subscribers, its more than 400,000 employees and billions of capital, is at your service the same as if we owned it in its entirety. While the development and extension of the telephone syaTelephone Talk No. 6 Tomorrow.

WEDNKSDA Y.
Harold Craver, the four year old son of Mr and Mrs. Maurice Craver, was severely bitten by a large bulldog. shortly before noon Wednesday. He was playing in th • neighborhood of his home when he wa- bitten by
te animal.
The dog tore a ga.'-h ' i the upper lip of the youth and jilao eut a gash about an inch in length underneath one of his eyes. Dr. A. E. Ayler wacalled and he dressed the injuries. 'J’he dog was not considered dangerous because he had often played with the children in the neighborhood and never before had snapped at any of
them.
This was taken as a reference to Stephenson's reported refusal to testify before the grand jury last fall.
