 Ieet the Government Charge.

The local exchange manager of the Southern New England Telephone company announced Friday that, be- ginning on Tuesday, Dec. 1, the com pany's operators would be compened to collect the federal war tax from all persons passing telephone calls or sending teleg rams from public pay stations where the charge exceeded 15 cents. This is in accordance with the law called the emergency revenue law president of the Unied States on Oct. p, 1914.
 It was explained to a representative of this paper that the law requires that the company collect tax of one cent. in addition to the regular charge for the message, where that charge amounts to 15 cents or over. The com- pany then reports, monthly, to the collector if internal revenue in each district and pays over the penny. per call tax that has been collected in this manner. lair treatment from its patrons in this matter, will instruct it's operators to advise public telephone users, when the charge for the message or tele- gram Is 15 cents or over, what the rate is, adding the request that the calling party have ready the additional one cent for the federal tax. When the Connection has been established the customer will be requested to drop in the regular charge for the message and then the penny for the tax. The oper- ator will advise that this be dropped in the 25-cent slot.
 The collection of the one cent tax on all messages and telegrams costing 15 cents or over from subscribers stations will be included on the regular bills sent out by the company. It was stated that at this time it was impos- sible to compute what this tax would amount to in the local exchange.
