BROADCASTING. GOST CHARGED. Gail Pe Rate * Decrease. By ROBERT T. SMALL. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—The moot question as’to the manner in which radio broadcasting shall be charged and paid for is involved in @ controversy between the ‘federal utilities commission here. The Chesapeake and Potomac Telepho: company, local branch of the Bell system, has been cited to ‘show cause why telephone rates in the District of “Columbia should not be reduced. The company has replied that it can not reduce rates and ‘con- tinue operating its powerful radio station—the one which has carried voice of President Coolidge and other national orators to the far corners of the United States. The commission is to be called upon, ‘therefore, to decide. whether. the. expense of broadcasting is,a legitimate one for a public service , corporation and, whether. this ex. pense may properly be assessed against the general telephone sub- scribers, regardless of whethér they operate a radio receiving set-or not. The decision may be a two-edged one, for if the commission rules that the expense is legitimate and that broadcasting is a proper function of the telephone company,\it may! algo decide thatthe company continue broadcasting at all times in the fu- ture as a part of its obligation to the public. Further hearings are to. be hela on the subjectathis: week, »but there is no indication as yet as. to when an opinion may be handed down. During ‘its “last fiscal year, . th experts of the commission “ha + found that the Chesapeake and Potomac company earned a return *- of 8.21 per cent on its investment. ‘The commission is said to consider that a 7 per cent earning ‘rate, is sufficient and that telephone rates should be reduced when the earning goes above that figure. =® = The “utilities commission. has. not taken into consideration an item. of $90,000 listed by the telephone com- pany as the cost of onecating ite local radio station, OSES AMLASERLSAREOARETEL LS seseesets should so accept it. Not feeling themselves responsible for the development \of the radio, the commission officials thus far have indicated their disapproval of charging $90,000 against the tele- phone subscribers. . Intimations of the abendonment of the big station or of its transfer to some other city haye come from is of the Bell system, but no definite steps have heen niepned: Pending an official decision.* The telephone company. eae that » the city of Washington, the “~ capital, should have a high powered = station 25kS3 - $ = % operation at all tim They,claim the station is of benef to all the people, from the president down. Almost nightly some phase of government activity is the sub- ject of an address over the radio. “‘WCAP is one of the two big a tions that divide the air from“Wash- ington, the other being WRC, oper- station fs not involved in the con- troversy. The Bell system, with in- terests everywhere and a growing activity in radio, may be seriously affected by any precedent set in the © Washington decision. : Aviator Rice Reaches Butte.
