, A POST MASTERS SALARY
Not Liable For Assessment For Income Tax,
 Says Assistant Postmaster General.

Washington Nov. 19.-The issue as to whether state or municipality can levy an income tax on the salary or com pensation of a postmaster, and others in the federal service generally, was de- cided today in an opinion rendered by Assistant Postmaster General Harrison J. Barrett, for the postofffce department. The case rose on an application from the postmaster at Gastonia, N. c. It was held that state had no authority to tax the emoluments paid to any off, cer of the general government, which the United States may use and employ as proper methods to secure its sover- eign power.'
 Mr. Barrett says: "The government of the United States is supreme with in its sphere of action and any action of a state or municipality which att tempts to tax the emoluments or salary of the officers of the general government is unconstitutional If state could tax the salaries of an officer of the general government it could therefore impair its supremacy The postmaster at Gas tonia, therefore cannot be required to pay a tax upon the income of his office either to the state of North Carolina or to the municipality of Gastonia,"
