which were not being complied with
by the petitioner, also taking that th*
titioner be required to (urni. h con-
tinuous service, that is, 24 hours ser-
vice, daily. Evidence was introduced
b\ the petitioner that on account of
the greatly increased operating expen
i s und the demands for added ser-
vice, it is not possible for petitioner
' i operate under the schedule of rates
now in effect and pay upending ex-
penses, taxes, and allow for deprecia-

Mr. L. H. Thurman, father of Mr.

from Ponca City. Mr. Thurman was
fortunate enough to hear both presi-
dential candidates speak while in the
State. Mr. Cox at Oklahoma City
and Mr. Harding at Ponca City.
Just what he thinks cf them individu-
ally or collectively, was not learned.
The Apache State Bank is taking
new dignity upon itself and the offi-
cial family in the indulgence of new
fixtures, new wall paper and a new
coat of paint from a to izzard. The
new fixtures are not yet ih position
and The Review cannot tell just how
nifty they are. but you may make an
easy guess and say they'll be fine ana
dnndy when they do get in place.

ford, dropped in on his aunt, The

Sheriff J. R. Cox. and who. by the
way, is the Republican nominee for
re-election, is a mighty busy man
these near-election days. What with
chasing and capturing bank robbers
who operated to their undoing in Cad
do County, where Sheriff Cox pro
serves the' Majesty of the Law, not
alone in the case of the Graeemont
Bank robbery, but of every other case
of law breaking which comes under
his jurisdiction, he has been unable to
make a canvas throughout the county
in his own interest, but must depend
almost entirely on the efforts of his
friends and those who know how faith
fullv and well he has done his full
duty as a peace officer. Not only
has he safeguarded the county s mor-
al aimosphere.keeping it as free from
the criminal element as it « humane-
possible to do, but he has done this
work at less expense to the taxpayers
than any preceding sheriff. This was
made possible by reduc ing a none too
large force of deputies and doing
more of the work himself, whereby
the tax payers win, and all their in-
terests are wholesomely protected.
Mr. Cox is serving his first term as
sheriff, but served four years as dep-
uty under Sheriff Cochran. The vot-
ers know Mr. Cox’s capacity and de-
termination to keep Caddo County
rlear of criminals and,if one mokes :o
bold as to come in and do his nefariu^
work.you know how soon he comes tO
grief at the hands of sheriff Cox.
You people who think he is deservin'
of re-election, and that is practically
everyone, have a duty to perform on
election day—give him your vote anil
keep a good man in the position in
which he fits so nicely—that of Sher-
iff of Caddo County.

I cto establish rates for telephone
service was by the Constitution, vest-
ed in this Commission, und that muni-
ic.pa! authorities have no jurisdiction
in the matter of rates for servics*.
1 he Commission in Its investigation
! of a rate schedule, agreed upon in a
city franc hise, would as readily re-
duce tin rate, if it is found to be ex-
I c cFsive, as it would advance, it, if
found to be .not renunierative.
Attorneys for protestr.nts in con-
ference agreed that the order might
ho made allowing the advance rates,
if the company’s showing justified it,
and contingent on petitioner install-
ng continuous day ar.d all night ser-
vice.
The Commisioner further finds
from an investigation of the com-
pany's reports, on file with the Com-
mission and supplementary statement
thereto, that the company at present
is not receiving sufficient revenue to
properly enable it to maintain its
plant and render adequate service;
that on Mie basis of the same number
of subscribers the proposed schedule
of rates, $3«.00 per annum for busi-
ness telephones, $24.0!) per annum for
residence telephones and $21.00 per
annum for rural stations owned, will
not yield revenues in excess of that
necessary to defray operating expen-
ditures and afford a reasonable
amount for depreciation and interest
on the amount of the investment in
property, used and useful for render-
ing the public service. 1
Wherefore, the premises considered
and the Commission being advised, it
is ordered that the Apache Telephone
Company, of Apache, Oklahoma, be
and is hereby granted authority to
put into effect, in said town, a ached
ule of rates as follows:
For special line business telephone
$3G.OO per annum
For special line residence telephones
$24.00 per annum
For rural stations owned
$21.00 per annum
Provided also that there shall be
no change in the present schedule of
rates for rural switched stations, and
that the company furnish continuous
day and night service.
This order to be in full force and of
feet from and after October 1, 1920.
until further order of this Commis-
sion.

this 17th day of September 1920
Corporation Commission of Oklahoma
Art L. Walker, Chairman
Campbell Russell, Commissioner
R. E. Echols, Commissioner
ATTEST:
P. E. Glenn, Secretary
The above rates will be in opera-
tion November 1, 1920.
Rates for rural telephones owned
by subscribers is $1.00 per month.
Switching rate for rural lines 50 cts.
per month.
A public utility to service must
have sufficient revenue to meet the
expenses of operation and mainten-
ance, provide a reasonable deprecia-
tion reserve and pay a fair return on
the investment.
In July 1920, when the high prices
in every line eliminated the possibil-
ity of making money and when we
were striving to break even with the
present rate we were ordered by the
Town Hoard of Apache to comply
with a franchise granted to Jesse Lof-
lin in 1903 requiring a 24 hours con-
tinuous service. This, the Town|
Board had a rght to do, but thev had
no right to fix rates. Compliance
with this order required additional
rates. The Apache* Tclephne Com-
pany went before the only body in
Oklahoma authorized to fix rates, viz;
The Corporation Commissioner.
This body after reviewing the facts
.authorized the above rotes.
The fact is the Apache Telephone
Company is now receiving just a nor-
mal rate, a rate enjoyed by most tel-
ephone companies long before the
present high prices.
To our subscribers we wish to say
we appreciate your business and trust
we may continue to enjoy it.
Respectfully,
Apache Telephone Company.
