WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page /,

The Civil Service has again
sounded warning to Federal en-
ployees against the solicitation of
funds for political purposes. In some
municipal. state and county organiza-
lions it is practice for the party in
power to assess the help ten per
cent Of their salaries for a fixed
period as contribution to the party
office. This is not permissible under
the Civil Service Act. Congressman
seeking financial aid from those who
hold civil service jobs will find it diff
ficult to obtain financial aid from
their friends in the Government SER
vice in view of the latest warning.
Members of the Cabinet have as
sembled in Washington and the Presi-
dent and his associates are whipping
their ideas into shape for presentation
to Congress when it convenes within
few weeks.
With the knowledge that the sur
plus in the Federal Treasury is in
creasing every day it is believed that
the question of tax reduction will
come to the fore just prior to cleo
lions and again when Congress con-
yenes. Treasury officials and men,
bers of the Appropriation and Ways
and Means Committees of the Congress
are giving consideration to the sta
tistics showing the income and ex-
penditures of the Government. Just
now the administration does not pro-
pose to recommend further reduction
in taxes. 1t is interesting to note
that the Democratic leaders are adj
vocating an immediate reduction. 1t
is the intention of the Treasury Of
ficils to apply large portion of the
surplus to the reduction of the pub
lie debt which is still of impressive

proportions. The claim is advanced
by the financial experts of the govern
ment that the $375,O00,OOO surplus
which accumulated during the last
fiscal year, has already been applied
to the retirement of the public debt
and that this sum cannot be consid-
cred in tax reduction matters. 1t is
said by reliable authority that the
administration has not yet definitely
determined the position it will take
before Congress in regard to reduc-
ton in taxes. 1t all depends upon
the budget and, Of course, will be gov
erned by political developments.
