A warning against fake experts''
on income tax has been sounded by
the internal revenue bureau In state
ment received by Collector J. Kryuer
from Commissioner Daniel c. Roper.
Business houses and individual tax.
payers are being canvassed this year
by numerous so-called income tax ex-
perts. who offer to use their magic
wands OF income tax wisdom to relieve
the busy taxpayer from all worries
about his tax responsibilities.
desire to make public announce
ment for the information OF taxpay.
ers, that an investigation Of the quail.
fications Of many Of these experts
will disclose the fact that very few
have had the training and experience
that would place them anywhere near
the expert class.
Some Of them were formerly tenn
porary employees OF the government
who are attempting to capitalize this
fact regardless of their personal
knowledge OF the revenue laws and
regulations. Others are soliciting
clients on the strength of diplomas
as income tax experts obtained after
taking long distance courses by means
Of printed instructions OF doubtful
value. Taxpayers should not allow
themselves to be imposed upon by
strangers who claim to be income tax
experts. They should discriminate
carefully between really helpful, au.
thoritative advice in tax matters, and
the irresponsible brand peddled under
glittering pretenses.
The bureau lis arranging to furnish
for the benefit of income tax payers
in every city and town in the country.
a free advisory service by trained col
lectors. agents, inspectors and depu.
ties. At the offices Of collectors and
their deputies and at other central
points, free information and advice
with respect to filing returns under the
new revenue bill may be had up to the
final date for filing such returns.
Banks, trust companies and similar
responsible institutions have always
co-operated in furnishing authentic in
come tax information, and have gen.
erously offered to serve the govern
ment and taxpayers in this respect
again this year.
It is the aim of the bureau to bring
its agencies as close as possible to ev-
cry person and to make available in
official form all necessary information
regarding the requirements of the
law. The bureau welcomes aid from
every responsible agency in its effort
to enlighten the people on tax matters.
Every taxpayer is assured OF a
square deal from the government
based entirely on the tax laws and
regulations and the facts in his case.

u. S. to Let Shipbuilding
Stand During Strike
DIV Assoclated Press,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-It will be
the policy of the government in ship
yard strikes to ''let the job stand.
Charles Piez, director general of the
emergency feet corporation said to-
day. He referred particularly to the
situation at Seattle. where he said men
had been out, and at San Francisco,
where it was reported workers in two
trades intended to 60 out shortly and
tie up all the work In the district
Mr.. Piez declared most of the yards
needed a breathing spell and he did
not think the government would con-
tinue to furnish work at extremely
high wages unless increased skill and
output justified it. and that in his
view it was highly unwise for ship
yard workers in their own interest
to call strikes at existing scales.

LONDON, Jan. 3O.-Failure to dis
patch mail on fast steamers operated
by the British government between
English ports and New York between
Jan. and 20 has been criticized by
newspapers here. An explanation has
been given the Daily Mail by the min
istry of shipping. It is said that owing
to an oversight, the ministry failed to
give the postoffice the usual notifica-
ton Of fast ships sailing during the
period mentioned. The postoffice fail
ed to make inquiry and consequently
the ships sailed without mail.

WOULD PROTECT THOSE
WHO BORROW ON BONDS

Recognizing that many bondholders
ernment bonds are at the mercy of un-
scrupulous agencies, the National Fed
era ton of Remedial Loan Associations
has appointed a committee to confer
with the United States Treasury Off
cials and draft uniform plan for
handling this problem throughout the
country.
Buying a good bond is good business,
and selling or borrowing on it may be
necessary piece of business, but SELL
ing a bond of the United States gov
ernment far below it's real value dis
credits not only the government but
weakens that fine spirit of patriotism
that led citizens to back America to
their last dollar.
1t is the purpose of the National
Remedial Loan Association to work out
enable the original purchaser to retain
his bond until maturity and pay back
the loan in small installments.
This action is entirely in keeping with
the constructive work of the asSocia-
ton in the past, and it is confidently
expected that the plan which the COM
mittee will be able to work out. in con.
junction with Treasury officials. will
do much to relieve the present sltua-
ton, further the desire of the govern
ment that liberty bonds be held, so far
as possible. by their Original purchasers
and check the operations of unscrupu-
lous dealers.
Meantime. cooperation on the part
of Industrial, fraternal and labor organi-
zatons is urgently needed to take care
of small loans needed by employees and
members Through such cooperation
loans might be made and the govern
ment bonds held as security for re-
demption by the original owner when
his pressing necessity had passed.
