The tax rate on long distance service, where the charge is 25c or over, is 25%. Other forms of telephone service are subject to Federal taxes at rates ranging from 8% to 25%. This tax is imposed by the U. S. Government directly on the user of the telephone. The telephone company, at its own expense, serves as a collector. Long distance calls and certain other services, being taxed at 25%, are taxed higher than the 20% rate for luxuries such as furs, jewelry, and perfumes. This form of tax, that is an excise tax on telephone service, has traditionally been resorted to only in national emergencies. Your telephone company believes this form of tax should not be a part of the peace time tax structure. Representatives of the telephone industry have urged and will continue to urge before the proper Congressional com mittee« that these excise taxes now be eliminated; and many users and representatives of users of telephone service are likewise urging that they be repealed by the tax legislation now before the Congress. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ * WEST COAST TELEPHONE CO.* *¥*¥¥***♦* By Bud Fisher STEAKS CHOPS ROASTS . . . or any other meat items you may wish can be supplied at our market.
