You still pay a direct 15% Federal excise tax on local
service and toll calls of less than 25c—and 25% tax on
toll calls o f 25c or more. In addition, your telephone
company pays about 15 other corporation and Federtl

your telephone.
Your Senators and Congressmen would welcome your
views on this continued extra tax of a vital service.
