CALLS TAXATION

BIC PROBLEM OF PHONE INDUSTRY

Convention Speaker Says Construction Economies Are Being Forced.

“The biggest problem facing the telephone industry in its program of plant construction is taxation,” Gustav Hirsch, Ohio Independent Telephone Association president, said today at the annual conven-

tion of the Indiana Telephone As- |

sociation at the Claypool Hotel. A telephone traffic conference was to be a feature of the final session today. Mrs. Mayme Workman, Springfield, Ill, was to speak on “Voice Personality,” Florence White of Indianapolis, Indianapolis, Indiana Beli Telephone Co. toll traffic supervisor, on “Toll Ticket Pictorial.” “Economies in plant construction are necessary to offset social security costs and the growing burden of taxation,” Mr. Hirsch declared. “Social security legislation has put a penalty on continuous emplovment of construction workers and led telephone plants to carry on their construction work by contract. “Although natural forces—sleet, rain and snow—have contributed to changes in line construction, taxes have been the chief impetus. These two forces account for the

and conduits in place of aerial cables and pole lines. Done by Common Labor

“The underground work requires only common labor, which is less

costly than the skilled labor needed |

for aerial wires. ““Plant operations as well as plant

construction have been changed by |

“the establishmeng of minimum wages, introduction of social security and punitive taxation. “Telephone exchanges in the smaller communities are finding it necessary to install automatic switchboards, which means greater investment and the elimination of two and a half operators for each board.” Dr. A W College spoke on “Recent Social Changes” at the convention yesterday. “Modern methods of communication have transformed American society in the last 50 years,” he said. “While they have given us a fuller existence, public opinion has become so mobile that people are more susceptible to appeals of democracy on one side and dictatorship on the other.”

R. welder and carpenter living at 310 E. 11th St, found this to be the case and now she says: “Ever since I was operated on 24 years ago I had been troubled with constipation, which in turn, I believe, helped bring about my other complaints. At any rate, here of late I became so weak, wornout and sluggish that the least bit of exertion would utterly play me out. You can imagine what a burden my housework was when I felt like this. Yet, as tired and wornout as I always was, sound sleep at night was impossible for me because of the ragged, quivering state of my nerves. ~ “My aunt, however, had taken Natex with such amazingly fine results, that I just couldn't resist trying this pound myself. “Well, Iafionly taken a very few

Now, though I've taken it just one month, I have a brand new feeling of strength, energy and vitality, and no amount of work seems able to tire me out. Not only that, my nerves have settled down nicely and let me sleep like a child. Now several other members of my family have used Natex, and, without exception, they all report excellent results. Our whole family now swears by this compound, and it's with real pleasure that I publicly recommend Natex to everyone.” Give this compound made chiefly from nature's roots and herbs the chance to help you too.
