Journal Want Ads Pay tiews ror u Federal Excise Tax Cuts Will Mean Direct Savings To You At long last Federal excise taxes on local and long distance telephone service have been reduced. Since this is a direct tax on your service, all of the savings will be passed directly to you as a tele phone user. For LT&T customers this will amount to nearly $600,000 annually. Reductions are as follows, effective with state ments dated on or after April 1, 1954: Former Tax .New Tax Long Distance Calls 25 10 Local exchange service 15 10 For many years this company, in cooperation with the national telephone industry, has urged the Fed eral Congress to modify or repeal the excise tax on telephone service. In this effort we have had splendid cooperation from many telephone users. Here are some of the reasons why this tax is unfair and discriminatory: 1. Telephone service Ss a modern necessity. Yet the tax on long distance telephone service has actual ly been higher than on many luxury items. The tax on both local and long distance service is still at the same level as such items. 2. Other utilities such as water, gas and electricity carry no excise tax. 3. The tax on telephone service was started as a wartime measure in World War II in an effort to dis courage use of service and keep lines open for de fense calls, lhe need oi tnis nas long since passed. This company will continue its efforts in opposition to this "luxury" tax on a necessary serv ice until the tax is entirely eliminated.
