The modern method of solving

THE WAR TAX BEGINS
The New Law Taxing TeIe-
phone Users Is now
in Effect

The far reaching effects of the
European war will be felt in small
way by telephone users, according
to the announcement made here to
day by the United States Internal
Revenue Department. The new
federal revenue tax on telephone
and telegraph messages goes into
effect December 1st all over the
country, and a government tax of
one cent will be collected for every
message amounting to fifteen cents
or over.
Officials of The Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
operating in the seven mountain
states, have been busy for the past
month notifying exchanges in all
parts of the system of the manner
in which this tax is to be collected
and turned over to the government.
Notices have been sent to each of
the 250,000 subscribers in the svs-
TEN and placards containing the pro-
visions of the new law are to be
posted in every pay station. Ac
cording to the law, all long distance
messages amounting to fifteen cents
or over are taxed one cent, whether
from private telephones or from
public or pay stations. Toll calls
from private telephones will be
counted by the company and taxed
in lump sum on the monthly bill.
Pay station customers will be re
quired to drop a penny in the coin
box of the telephone when their call
is made. There will be 20 tax on
local messages where no toll charge
is made.
The effects of the new law will be
interesting in this western country,
where the number of pennies in cir
culation is proportionately small.
According to officials of the United
States Mint in Denver, all pennies
are coined in Philadelphia and shipped
through the local mint and sub
treasury for distribution. No short
