Facts About The
Federal Excise On
Telephone Service

Telephone service is the only
household utility subject to the
, federal excise tax. No federal ex-
else is levied on water, gas or
electricity.
The current 10 per cent federal
excise on telephone service is a
direct tax on the consumer. 1t
does not benefit Southern Bell
Telephone Company, which merely
serves as a tax collection agency
for the Internal Revenue Service.
Southern Bell customers in 1857
paid an average of 83 cents per
telephone per month in federal ex-
else tax. For the interstate area
where the company operates, this
amounted to about $56 million for
the year. Local, state and federal
taxes, excluding the excise, amount
ed to $2.10 per telephone per
month.
The excise on telephone service
began as war-emergency levy.
1t remains in effect today, and no
termination date has been set.
Historically and today, federal
excise taxes have been imposed on
such luxury items as jewelry, furs,
and cosmetics. Telephone service
is a necessity, yet only such items
as club dues, cabaret bills, liquor
and tobacco are taxed at higher
rates.
The public opposes the federal
excise, and telephone customers in
dividually have shown dissatisfac-
ton over it. Public opinion re-
search have shown that the federal
excise on telephone service is the
most unpopular of all federal ex-
cises with the consumer.
The National Association of
Railroad and Utility Commissioners
adopted a resolution in October
1857, urging repeal of the federal
excise tax on telephone service on
the grounds that it is a discrim-
inatory tax and contrary to the
best interests of the public. OPP
position to the tax has come also
from the American Hotel Associa-
ton, the New York Stock Ex-
change, the American Farm Bureau
Association and from many other
quarters.
The removal of the federal ex-
else on telephone service would re-
suit in specific lowering of the
overall cost of the utility to the
subscriber. The monetary relief
would go completely, Immediately
and directly tc the telephone users
themselves.

natural length of it's heavy
stalk brings it completely out
of contact with the leaves in
your bowl.
Cut this stem so that the
flower and it's buds stand we'll
above the leaves, but in good
relationship to them and the
container.
A second stalk, with its open
flower and thick buds settles
behind the second fan, a third
one, full of thick buds may
reach toward the space over
the water area.
Use your petunias, Sedums
or other flowers I have sug-
gested sparingly against the
base of these strong gray
green walls of iris leaves.
Merely accent what the beau
tiful blossoms above broad
cast in color.
You will find it is great fun
to use few fiat stones, first
to defect the eye from any
part of the holder that may
show, and secondly to create
an area of solidity about this
pleasant group which suggests
that its near the water, but
still on solid ground.
Now turn and adjust the
back. Those seated on your
couch also want some of this
picture. You need only few
touches of shorter iris leaf
fans and perhaps one blossom
to look this way.

Unless foxgloves are well

to leave them until spring.
Some foxgloves If grown in

it best to treat Columbine INC

arranger. We must scale all
this beauty to our relatively
small space indoors, and at the
same time interpret the char
acter of the iris as we under
stand 1t.
Choose a low container of
any form, but of enough depth
so that your needle holder will
be under water. Pick petunias,
sedums, violas, dianthus, ver-
bena and the like from your
garden. If your garden is like
mine you can find a few fiat
stones of various sizes with
which to hide your holder.
Above all, be sure your nail
holder is in proportion to the
weight and diameter of your
arrangement. Your iris should
be Of one color, and this ar
rangement asks for two stalks
with open flowers and one
graceful bud.
At this season I suggest you
select from the species iris
like Dorothy X. Williams or the
white or yellow 1. ochroleuca
which are in bloom at the
moment. Several full fans of
leaves are also necessary to
your arrangement.
Ideal for Low Location
~ A good place in your living
room for an arrangement such
as this might be a low one,
such as a coffee table where
you may enjoy your compost
ton from all angles. Let it
be off-center within the low
.container, since the water will
then show and be part of your
composition. Allow the ar
rangement to face a favorite
seating area other than your
couch.
Most iris leaves are strong in
their design, they fit together
into beautiful fan-shaped
groups with distinct directional
tendencies. To scale down
such a fan, simply separate
the individual leaves, fold
them into each other and cut
them shorter.
This smaller and shorter fan
is now in proportion to your
container.
Insert this first leaf group
into the center of the holder.
A somewhat smaller group
of leaves is then placed to the
right and to the left of the
start. each smaller than the
one before, and each at a
different angle and a different
direction from the main group.
If you think that your leaves
look absolutely beautiful all by
themselves, and you have
established foreground and
underground with them, pro-
coed.
Installing the Stalks
Now your first fully opened
iris blossom goes into the pic
ture.
You find at once that the

Helen Van Pelt Wilson comes
to our aid with q much better
definition, "Biennials are
plants which give the best re-
suits under average garden
conditions when they are sown
one year, flower the next, and
are then discarded.
If one has a greenhouse it
is quite possible to sow the
seed in March and have flow
ers in late summer, but most
gardeners prefer to SOW seed in
late July or early August. If
properly tended the plants will
be ready to set out in six weeks
or so and fine bloom may be
expected in May and June.
Location Is Important
The location Of the seed bed
is of great Importance. A light.
but not sunny spot should be
chosen. A small spot to the
north of a hedge which will not
encroach may be a good choice.
Water should be close by for
frequent watering will be re-
quired. 1t may be necessary to
raise the bed somewhat in Or
der to assure good drainage.
After the bed is leveled off
and ready for the seed, rows
should be marked of with a
pointed stick. Sow the seed
very shallowly and firm into
place with a block of wood.
Large seed are sown twice
their depth but fine seed are
easier to handle if mixed with
fine sand.
Cover the seed bed with bur-
| lap until green leaves appear
The burlap allows the water to
lseep through gently. If there
| is no burlap available, news
papers may be used.
Save the Extra" Plants
The next step is to thin out
the seedlings so that they stand
2 inches apart. The extra
plants may be tucked away in
some spot in the flower border
If the seeding plants are toe
small to be moved in late Sep
TENDER they may be covered
with a light mulch of salt hay
chopped oak leaves or finely
pulverized peat moss to await
the coming of moving day in
April. Then in May or June a
multitude of blossoms should
delight you.
| OF course, many plants re-
seed themselves as hollyhock;
do and come up year after
year, but if you wish to grow
the lovely fringed varieties OF
the named varieties such al
the double Newport Pink yor

same smaller border flowers,
or variations if you should be
in short supply of what the
first picture holds. This side
must also become a picture
that completely pleaseS you,
but it will be somewhat differ
ent since you take the design
which the other side presents
and you give it only the finish
ing touches. Just as a Sculp-
ture presents a different as
pect as you move around it,
so this arrangement gives you
variation, but consistency and
an expression of the strong
beauty of the iris.

Roses in Planter Jar

If you have a strawberry
planter jar with openings on
the side. you can use it to plant
miniature roses in a colorful
arrangement. The jar can then
be moved to different parts OF

Backs Plea for Repairs
The group said It based its
plea for repairs on their per
sonal observation and knowl-
edge Of the preservation Of old
buildings" and on confidence
in the skill and ingenuity of
American craftsmen"
They cited as examples of
such preservation the Tennes-
see State Capitol. the White
House. Mount Vernon and
Monticello. st. Patrick's Ca
thedral. st. Paul's Cathedral
in London and Hagio Sophia in
Istanbul.
Mr.. Campbell charged that
none Of these buildings are
comparable to the Capitol and
its problems" The reasons. he
said. are that many Of them
are built in brick or other du-
rable stone rather than the
Capitol's soft sandstone. and
that they are not comparable
in the amount Of ornamental
ton or structural conditions.
Meanwhile. Senator Robert
son. Democrat of Virginia. re-
minded the Senate today that q

ate calendar. and wondered
when 1t will be called up for
