Government Tax On Telephone Calls

AS for the tax on telephone mes
sages, Mr.. Logan, Agent of the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Co.,
when seen this morning, told how the
Chesapeake and Telephone Co. had
prepared to collect the tax as directed
by the Government.
"The preparation for the collection
of the cent tax on all messages of Is
cents or over has been big job for the
Telephone Company" said Mr.. Logan.
"In the case of public telephones with
coin box attachments, the tax of one
cent is to be inserted as directed by
the operator in the quarter slot in the
coin box by the person who sends the
message, and all operators have been
instructed to arrange for this.
Especial preparations for billing re-
gular subscribers correctly for the tax
imposed on their message of Is cents
and over also had to be made. New
collection routines had to be prepared
and new systems of accounting worked
out. The Telephone Company has
advised all telephone users of the new
law and the methods put into effect
for collecting the tax. Notices giving
full directions have been placed on all
public telephones and all subscribers
have been advised by means of cir
cular enclosed with their monthly bills.
This circular explains the method Of
taking the charge for the tax and
gives digest of the law relating to it,
"The law applies not only to all
messages on which the rate is Is
cents or more per message, but also
to all messages on which the total
charge, including overtime, amounts
to Is cents or more. Thus, while a
single call at the rate of cents bears
no tax, should the conversation be
prolonged over period which would
make the aggregate charge Is cents
or more, the tax of l cent is imposed
"All telephone bills rendered during
the life of this law will include a toll
service statement that will show those
messages on which the tax is to he
levied, together with the amount of
such tax.
'The law directs that this tax shall
be collected from the person paying
for such message or conversation and
places the responsibility for collection
upon the Telephone Company"

It was quite surprise to the Bible

was upon him when he said that a

ing about the preacher and saying un-
kind words about him. This one has
the foot and mouth disease and had
better be ouarantined before others
catch it, said he.

large congregation at the afternoon
services both Sunday school and

county to test the constitutionality OF
the new Workmen's Compensation law

on the ground that certain, classes of
