A. J. Barran, President of General Telephone of Indiana, today revealed contents of a letter written to Indiana congressmen expressing concern that the present ‘‘temporary'’ ten per cent Federal Excise would be permanently attached to the telephone rate structure without the endorsement o r even complete awareness of the taxed telephone customer. Currently, Congress is considering making permanent the five billion dollar excise tax on 75 goods and services even though they originally were imposed to help defray World War II costs. The letter pointed out that the excise tax is a World War II measure designed to raise revenue for the Federal Treasury and had a secondary effect of restricting non-essential use of telephones v hen facilities were needed for the war effort. At the time of its enactment, it was intended that the excise tax would be eliminated entirely at the end of the war,” the letter said. It has been continued on a “temporary” basis for the 20 years since. “It is a discriminatory tax." the letter stated, “since it is leried on telephone service and not on any other essential untility — gas. electricity, or water.” In discussing the impact of the present excise tax on telephone service, Mr. Barran explained that it is a luxury tax and conflicts with the fact that telephone service today is a necessity of American life; and, he emphasized. President Johnson has declared the Federal Tax program must be updated to maintain the country’s high degree of economic development. The elimination of the telephone excise tax could help fulfill this objective by increasing the gross income of every telephone user by the amount of the telephone excise tax ho now is paying. A recent editorial in the Toledo Blade, discussed the ten per cent levy on every telephono bill, he said: “This form of ‘temporary’ tax has become so (Continued on Page 21

Unless a certain dog is located. a DePauw University student will have to start taking a series of rabies shots within a very few days. Grover Vaughn. DePauw Security Officer reported to The Daily Banner today. Brian Raymond Campbell, a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity, was bitten on the left ear last Sunday afternoon by a dog. Vaughn said the young man was walking on the old O. & I. Stone Quarry Road, just south of West Walnut Street. Campbell saw the dog caught in the top strands of wire in a fence. r le went to the animal’s assistance and it was during the time that he was freeing the dog that it bit him. Vaughn said Campbell described the dog as fairly slick haired, brown in color with a short stubby tail. It had a little white on its throat and stood about 18 inches tall. The dog wore no collar and it was feared that it might be a stray canine. If anyone does know of, or
have this dog, they are requested to get in touch with Vaugh, Campbell, the Greencastle police or the Putnam County sheriff's office at once. Rabies shots are very painful b<t Campbell will have to take them as a precaution unless this dog is located within the matter of hours.
