The Treasury Department, it was said
was arranging to advise taxpayers
without charge and the advice would
be honest
"The mere assertion on the part Of
a so-called expert" said Mr.. Eisner.
that he is expert is not sufficient to
warrant the taxpayer in risking his
reputation and his honor on advice
given by such a person, and it would
be we'll for taxpayers to ascertain
carefully the previous history OF the
expert before contiding their affairs
to him.
