GAS TAX BOOST
PROTESTED

Vigorous opposition to the bill
introduced by Representative
Smith CD of Virginia, to in.
crease the gasoline tax in the
District of Columbia from 2 to (
cents gallon, was voiced today
in a letter sent to the Fiscal AT.
fairs Subcommittee Of the House
District Committee by the Mer.
chants and Manufacturers ASso-
citation.
James E. Colliflower states in
the letter:
"The Smith bill would add
almost two million dollars to
the tax now paid by automobile
users in the District, which
the Association feels is un-
warranted, and an additional
burden particularly to the
owners Of commercial vehicles"
Mr.. Colliflower pointed out that
the higher tax in other States
may be justified because Of the
extensive highway system.

FEDERAL STAFF
VISIONS MERIT
PLAN END
EN- erge ncy Organizations
Continue Ignoring
Civil Service
BY DUNCAN FORSYTH


Continued expansion of emer-
gency organizations, and fear
that the regular budget will be
subject to further contraction
IN coming years have caused ap-
prehension among Federal en-
ployes lest the merit system be
ultimately eliminated.
They point out that emergency
organizations have been built up
and stated outside the civil serv-
ice, and that although they are
theoretically temporary agencies.
practically they are as permanent
Is any in the Government.
Permanence Seen
The Home Owners Loan Cor
poration, the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration, and many activities
OF the NRA and AAA give strong
prospect Of permanence. Mean
while. consistent pressure is be-
ing brought for reduction Of the
regular budget, and more en-
ployeS assigned to the regular
establishments are being paid
from emergency funds and ap-
pointed without regard to civil
service rules.
AS long as the balanced
budget" slogan retains its ef.
fectiveneSS, reduced appropria-
tions for the older units can be
counted upon each year, the
Federal employees believe; and If
these units cannot function on
the money they receive, funds
can be transferred to them from
the emergency appropriations.
This, in fact, is what has been
going on for several months.
Payroll Reduced
Estimates compiled by experts
show that reduction in personnel
has caused a payroll loss Of
about 20 million dollars for 1888
as against the fiscal year 1892,
and in the present fiscal year
it is expected to be about 40
million dollars in addition to
sums saved by the is per cent
cut.
# similar conditions continue
in the next few fiscal years, q
payroll loss from the peak OF
Is to 100 millions appears to be
In prospect. it is said.
