You wondered why it is that in Houston you can phone far over one hundred miles toll free while in this county one can hardly phone over fifteen miles, from one town to another, without with-out paying as much as thirty cents. I was embarrassed and puzzled and promised to find out why. Well, let me tell you that I have looked into the matter sincerely sin-cerely and for an answer, I still don't have one. I suggest you write directly to the telephone company itself. They will probably proba-bly be able to give you enough official double talk to blind you on the issue and explain away the problem so that if you don't agree with them, you'll be too confused to care anymore. At least they've already managed man-aged to confuse most of the local citizenry and even several distinguished committees and counsels of the United States government. After weeks of hearings held more than a year ago, during which many concerned con-cerned citizens attended and testified, government committees commit-tees ruled that the millions of dollars the telephone company is making in this valley are excessive and that they should do away with their present rates. The telphone company, instead of responding to what was judged to be in the public interest, became irate. They could very well condemn a large part of a city block through the powers of "eminent domain" given to them because they are a public service monopoly. They couldn't very well manage to change their rates in the interest inter-est of the public. Instead, they had several of their employees write the local newspapers, without having the courage to identify themselves, to tell the citizens what is best for them. And they appealed the matter to the courts. They lost again, at least that's what the newspapers tell us. But for all practical purposes they won because they're still stalling and the rates haven't changed. In the meantime, they've announced an-nounced that they now intend to start charging for each call to information, once again in the public interest. I'm so impressed im-pressed with all the charges they have invented in my interest. inter-est. I know that years ago the telephone operator was my best friend. I received a silent assur-ance assur-ance from knowing that someone was there to help in an emergency, an immediate contact con-tact so close to the home. She used to be ready to give me advice on how to cook a pot roast in an emergency, or how to keep my new shoes from hurting. Now I'm told that she doesn't have time for that. I'm willing to accept this in the name of progress. In fact, she doesn't even have time to tell me my best friend's telephone number.AHright, I'll accept that too. But why do they have to keep charging me more to do less and less? Their representative testified in public meetings that one day they hope to be able to charge local citizens for every call they make. This may seem farfetched, far-fetched, like a horrible nightmare, night-mare, but I'm beginning to believe it. After all, haven't they been able to ignore local demands and district court rulings rul-ings for years? When I once asked an operator opera-tor how soon our rates would change she said, "I hope they never do. It would be good for local business, but it would hurt me, the common man." Isn't it a pity that something might be done to help local business? In their clamoring for new malls and better parking, local businessmen are straining at gnats and swallowing camels. If |
