new PHONE TAX
NOW IN EFFECT
Under New Law Added Payment is
Made On Calls Costing More
Than IL Cents.

Telephone companies under fed
eral control are collecting the new
federal revenue tax on telephone
messages, which became effective
yesterday.
Under the new law, which was
approved by President Wilson on
Feb "a, when the charge for tele-
phone message is more than II
cents and not more than so cents,
the tax is 10 cents. The former law
levied a uniform tax of cents on
all messages amounting to Is cents
or more.
Telephone companies are held re-
sponsible for the collection of the
tax, which is paid in addition to the
regular charge for the call, and
they are directed to see that it is
collected from each person paying
for the message.
The companies monthly toll ser
vice statements to their subscrib-
ers will show the messages .on
which the tax is imposed and its
amount, in addition to the regular
charges for toll calls. On calls from
public telephones the operator will
include the amount of the tax in
the total charge quoted to the per-
son making the call.
