TELEPHONED
The national government, working
through the department of commerce
aod labor, ba* determined the facts ia
tbe long disputed question rs to the rela?
tive size of the Bell aod independent
tele-hone interests ot tbe Uoited c-titea.
The government figures for 1907 show
8,132,003 Bell stations and 2.986,515
itidtpendent s's ions cr telephones. Tne
independents have all along claimed
over 4,000 000 stations, or full? 33 per
cent more tban tbey actually have.
Tte govern meet figures do ootnake
aoy at eon pt ti damnify the independent
ai between ^independent" and "opposi?
tion" companies. Asa matter eif tact,
of th-) so-called "iodependeoti" fully
900,000, or 30 per cent, of the entire
number fr rm through sub-licensee or
service ava g-ments part of tbe com?
prehendive Hell system, but la all other
respell* are independent, self-can rollirg
organisations. At p.nsent over 1,100,
DM int'ependents, or about 40 per cent
nf the t .til, ste thus affiliated with Bill
lines.
With this adjustment made it will be
foutid tha" initial ofthe B)ll companies
having but 115,000 more stations thsn
tbe independent*, the rial figures aie
Kometbirg like 4,000,000 for the Bal1,
against 2,150 000 for the ii dependents,
a ratio of nearly 2 to 1.
SENATORIAL EXPENSE-3.

.Samuel A. Coot, of Neec-ib, whi'e
his official statement showed tbat he
spent $28,500, admiiUd tbat a supple?

to above 140,000. Mr, Cook engaged
U. Cowling, of Oshkosh, ts hts mansge-r,
I'sying bim $210 a roo'.b. Mr. Oook was
