Controller Warwick Issues Ruling
Holding Postmasters Response
BILE When Regulation Violated.

The Post Office Department today
called the attention OF postmasters to
a recent decision Of Controller w. w.
Warwick of the Treasury on the re-
employment of government employees
who have been retired under the civil
service retirement law. The effect of
Judge Warwick's decision is held to
make such Unemployment by the gov
ernment illegal.
The Post Ofioe Department holds
that this ruling applies\ in the case
OF postal employees who were retired
on August 20. 1920. or subsequent to
that date Therefore requests from
postmasters for authority to re-employ
them for service in post, offices will
not be approved.
"Postmasters will be held strictly
accountable for any payments illegally
made subsequent to the date OF this
notice to employees drawing annutties
under the act of May %, 1920, and
any payments so made since August
20. 1920. must be Immediately reported
to the bureau Of pensions in order
that an equivalent amount may be
withheld from annuity payments"

ATTACKS PROPOSAL.
j TO IAXA[E SALES
Fayette Plumb Tells City
Club Plan Is Unjust to ~.
Business Man. - :,

Declaring that the proposed sales
tax of 1 per cent on all goods sold
is uncertain and unjust, both to the
business man and the consumer. Fay
ette Plumb. chairman OF the tax COM
mittee of the national industrial con-
ference board, addressed the City
Club luncheon forum yesterday
Many business men throughout the
country seem to be in favor Of the
sales tax" said Mr.. Plumb. but !
think it's because they really don
understand the disastrous enect tnat
such a tax would have. II the TAX
plan were adopted. I am, sure the
business men Of the country soon
would be sorely disappointed. -
Mr.. Plumb explained that three
types of tax plans had been sug-
Eested: first, a tax on every sale or
turnover and tax for All ser'lces
rendered; second, a tax on every sale
or turnover of solely commodities,
and third, a tax on all final sales, or
retail sales tax.
Uncertainty II Objection.
--sThe uncertainty of the sales tax
Is one of the most serious objections.
said Mr.. Plumb. 1T is almost TN
possible to estimate what return such
range from $4,000, 100000 to $780,
0O0, 900 Two billion dollars has been
agreed upon as a fairly good guess,
vet experts say it is impossible to
predict accurately within billion
dollars. Surely business men don't
want a tax levied that will raise a
billion. more or less than is needed
"There is also the danger. Of spe.
cial classes obtaining exemptions OF
certain commodities from taxation
There Is also the grave danger OF
Congress varying the rate of taxation
for necessities and luxuries.
The turnover tax Of I per cent
appeals to. many business men be-
cause under the plan all other taxes
on business would be abolished: II
seems to them simple tax. Yet busi-
ness men would be compelled to make
double payments the first S.ss tyeasIsaiies snd ies
come taxes on the business OF the
past year."
