old LAW MAY
GOVERN TAXES
Internal Revenue Make Out
Lists, Despairing of Ac-
tion by Congress.

Internal revenue officials have be-
gun making plans for collection OF
Federal taxes under the present rev.
enue law, It was learned yesterday
from official sources.
Their action is based on the belief
that Congressional action will be de-
layed indefinitely. Unless the new
revenue bill is enacted into law at
this session of Congress, taxes will
have to be collected under the present
statute. officials explain.
Secretary Glass declared that the
Treasury's job, whether the taxes are
to be collected under the old or new
law, is now one of infinite problems.
The lateness of the day for prepara-
tion to handle the tax collection job
already has complicated the task to
the point where its accomplishment
can be only at extra expense and
great difficulty to the taxpayers, as
well as the government.
Congressional inaction, Treasury Of
ficials point out, is disrupting the en-
tire business structure of the coun-
try. Especially is this true when it
is applied to large industries, It was
said.
The average taxpayer does not real
ize the great amount of work in
volved on the part of. the Treasury
in handling the great job, officials be-
lieve. Thousands of forms. and lit
orally hundreds of thousands of indi-
vidual cases, have to be handled be-
fore the tax collection is complete. it
is explained
The Treasury, in the past, has
sought to limit the amount of work
thrown on the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau by issuing detailed instructions
TO collectors throughout the country.
But this plan cannot be followed il.
by any chance. the pending measure
becomes a law. officials say.

CHEAPER FOOD
DUE IN CAPITAL
Market Experts Promise
Drop in Price Of Meat
and Groceries.

Promise of cheaper food held out
yesterday by market experts based on
The fact that meat. eggs. butter and
beans have all taken a tumble from
the peak prices at which they were
quoted ten days ago, gave the house
wife thrill Of JOY.
After struggling along with prices
ever climbing skyward and the cost OF
living soaring to a point where bare
necessities took the greater portion
of family incomes, 1t seemed pleasant
to hear that there is a strong prooa-
bility that all staple food lines viii
show a general decline beginning this
week.
Lower food prices are overdue in
Washington, owing to the fact That
retailers and consumers here have not
received just treatment at the hands
OF the wholesalers and commission
merchants, but they are bound TO drop
to the lower levels on account OF in
creased production and lessened de-
mand.
With cattle selling at reductions of Z
to cents a pound meat cuts at the
butchers stands in the city markets
should be much cheaper. Lamb has
fallen at wholesale TO cents and
veal 10 cents. while eegs, always more
plentiful as the days grow longer, are
rapidly receding. Butter has dropped
Is cents in eleven days. and the local
retailers will undoubtedly find a way
TO ignore those wholesalers who per
sist in demanding profiteering prices,
by ordering shipments from outside
markets il these reductions are not
Immediately put into effect
There has been a drop of 40 per cent
in the wholesale price of pork. Since

tion's control on corn. pork, has taken
