Of course, we are glad to tell them the details^ of our operating expenditures. f One of the big items of expense, which consumes several million dollars of the money paid us, is taxes.. ^ Out of every $100 of gross revenue received last year $9.50 was paid to the tax collectors of the cities, counties, states and federal government. This was equal to $5.50 for each telephone in service during the year. % Taxes are necessary for the proper admanistra' tion of our local and federal governments and every patriot ii: dtisen expects to pay his share. But the tax bill of your telephone company has mounted to such proportions as to present a serious probkte Chat concerns the subscriber as weB as cm selves, for taxes are operating expenses and must be paid with money we ooflect for service. 4 Our taxes have increased 555 per cent since 1916, while the average investment in service has increased but 153 per cent. And, as you know, the.rates you are asked to pay for service have moved up but sHghtly as compared with the enormous increase in taxes, wages and other factors necessary for rendering high grade telephone service.
