Telephone tax plan could raise customer rates
A Kansas utilities complaint argues a wartime tax on telephone messages may be passed to customers as higher rates. Fred Coulson, representing independent phone interests, says the proposed 2-cent per message levy could wipe out profits and shift the burden to consumers as long-distance usage exceeds 2000 calls monthly per company. Officials caution Congress may amend the bill to allow tax shifting onto telephone patrons.
