^?acts that
Concern your Pocketbook i
i as well as Ours
INTERESTED customers
often ask us what
becomes of all the money
we collect from the public
for telephone service. 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.
