ROWLAND SEEKS MERIT PROGRAM
Controller to Test Appli- cants For Appointments
 If Court Approves

Controller Sherwood L. Rowland, by announcement in the Republican organization newspapers, intends filling the II positions in his office by questionnaire and "the merit system, if his contention that he has the right to hire and fire is up- held by the supreme court where an appeal from a decision to this effect is pending.
 Thus, to quote the Republican newspapers publicity, "all of several hundred applicants for positions will be asked to fill out ques- tionnaires stating their qualifica- tions for positions they seek, and their experience in similar lines of
 Which, contrary to Controller Rowland's present system of Repub- lican patronage, indicates that "sev- eral hundred" Republicans and In- dependent Democrats are out of luck; that the Fusion campaign eff forts resulting in Controller Row. lands election by 8 scant majority are to go without recognition.
 Which, on the surface, at least, is contrary to the pre-campaign prom ises of the Fusion candidates: and which, on the surface, is contrary to Controller Rowlands general at titude toward patronage since talk ing office.
 The qualifications" outlined by the controller for the more import ant offices include such require ments as being a certified public &C., countant, or holding degrees from some college and with at least five years experience in business ad- ministration.
 While no political repercussions have been resultant in a public sense, the list of qualifications now available in questlonnaire form for the several hundred applicants will provide comment throughout the Fusion ranks in succeeding weeks. Letters have been sent out, the con- troller relates, desiring applicants to fill out the questionnaires.

Since the undistributed profits tax was an experiment that did not prove workable, let us admit that it failed, Henry H. Heimann, Execu- tive Manager of the National Asso- citation of Credit Men, declares in his monthly review of business sent today to the Associations 10000 member firms in the banking, man. ufacturing and wholesaling fields.
 "Is there any sound reason why we should cling to principles which time and practice have proven er- roneous, merely to save face?
 There has been so much evil dence," the credit executive points out, "of the feeling against the re- pressive and uneconomical undis- tributed profits tax that it seems hard to realize, conscious as con- gress has shown itself to be of the nations attitude, that the principle of the tax has been retained. The argument that the undiStributed profits tax has all but been elimin- ated, hardly squares with the fact that it still inflicts taxation pen- ally.
 Whether the tax penalty is six per cent or as much as g per cent, the principle of the undistributed profits tax is still unfair, unjust, un- economic. If such tax principles are continued in law, we will always face the possibility of a future change in rate. Business hopes that the senate will courageously meet the issue by eliminating this section
