forms of telephone ser vice are subject to Fed-
eral taxes at rates ranging from to 25%.
This tax is imposed by the l , S, Government
directly on the user of tire telephone. The tele-
phone company, at its own expense, serves as a
collector.

ices, being taxed at 25%, are taxed higher than
the 20% rate for luxuries sue)) as furs, jewelry,
and perfumes.
