ATTACK ON TAX
Await Decision in Case
Now in Courts
BY A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor

| NltiZenB ASBOcIAtlOmS E0lLOF
In a vigorous attack upon the
business tax as unconstitutional,
confiscatory and discriminatory,
during which one member declared
his intention to refuse to pay the
tax, the Federation of Business
Mems Associations, meeting last
night at the Hamilton Hotel,
endorsed a report from its COM
mittee on legislation offered by j.
Nelson Anderson, chairman.
The report recommended that
no formal action be taken against
the tax law, pending q decision by
the district courts in the Berry
VS.. HAGEN case, now before three
judges.
SALES TAX FAVORED
Fairfax Oyster, newly elected
vice president, and president of
the New Center Market Business
Mems Association, was cheered for
asserting that since he had al.
ready paid the $40 license fee for
doing business in the district. he
did not intend to pay any tax bill
rendered to him on the basis of
gross receipts.
President Theodore s. Grape
emphasized that the federation
had gone on record in favor Of a
general retail sales tax.
PROTEST PAYMENT URGED
James ]. Greeves, of Northeast,
reported that the attorney for the
District Dental Society had advised
members to pay the tax, but only
under protest. in the hope of OBJ
tanning refund. However, it was
said the commissioners had no
funds for such payments.
A resolution from the Cleve-
land Park Business Mems Associa-
ton, opposing the appointment Of
any one in the District service
who has not been a legal resi-
dent for at least five years, was
unanimously endorsed.
OTHER OFFICERS CHOSEN

oyster, the following officers were
elected: George A. Ford. second
vice president; Archer Haycock,
