Census, 672,2l4 Negro farm OPP

less than fourth of the farms op

q large percentage of the entire
Negro population Of the United
States and, together with the white

the lowest income families in the
entire country.

To the Editor OF the 1lmeS%
OUT of the treasury department at
- Washington has come an arbi-
trary and unnecessary ruling by
which, unless ii is reScinded, several
hundred thousand industrious Amer
lean citizens will be deprived TIM
Justly of a large part of their legit-
innate earnings.
These victims are the sales repre-
SentativeS Of factories, Of mercantile
houses, of real estate firms, and of
wide variety f/other concerns, who
work on what is commonly known as
a commission basis"
- Altogether they are only small
minority Of the population.
Belonging to the so-called white
collar" class. they are not organ
led to defend themselves.
THEY do not have vast number
L of votes to awe nH~t0 entice the
politicians.
Nohethetess,I they are-entitled TO
fair treatment from their govern
ment; and it is in their interest,
therefore, that this appeal is written
Furthermore, their plight should
interest and appeal to every one; for
every one has among his own friends
and acquaintance one or more OF
those Who are being inundated.
The treasury regulation affecting
this group, which was issued on Nov.
-15,l943, applies SOLELY to persons
receiving part of their compensation
in the form Of bonus or commission
payments determined by the produc-
tive value Of their services.

since October, 1912, the commission
or bonus may not now exceed 20 per
cent-one .ffth-of the new base
salary.
Yet 20 per cent of base salary
may be ONLY A FRACTION of a
com pe tent commission representa-
tive'S ordinary earned income,
utterly insufficient for him to sup
port his family and meet his common
obligations.
In such an instance, a COMPLI-
MENTARY increase Of only a few
dollars in base salary may operate to
rob a diligent worker Of annual COM
pensation amounting to much more,
which is actually the result Of
YEARS OF EFFORT and which I'M
der any consideration BELONGS
TO HIM, both legally and morally.
The employers do not want to
withhold these honest earnings from
their employees.
But the treasury ruling COM
PEI ELS the employers to do se-afd,
of course, to share the "SWag2 with
the treasury in the payment of bust
ness income taxes.
THE treasury department has
l. issued this confscatory regula-
ton as a part of its wage stabiliza
ton program.
OStensibly, it is devised to curb
inf atieH2 by limiting ct reducing
the purchasing power Of the public.
Not only any economist, but
almost every ordinary bookkeeper, is
perfectly competent to inform the
treasury that its ridiculous action
cannot have the slightest possible
influence upon the So-caled "inha-
tionHy' situation.
All that the treasury experts
have succeeded in doing has been TO
IMPLICIT HARDSHIP t pom a
GROUP OF INDUSTRIOUS CITI-
lens.
1t is a prime example of unjust
and extra-legal CLASS LEGISLA-
TlON by IRRESPONSIBLE BIZ
REAUCRATS.
THE new order holds out vague
L hope that individual adjust
ments' may be obtained by applying
for them, one by one, at the treasury.
1t would involve a lot of time,
effort and expense to seek and to
make half a million rmoreindivid4
ual adjustments a year, even if the
treasury were sympathetically dis
posed.
Instead, the government should
ABANDON its communistic regula-
ton entirely.
For why should a free American
citizen, peaceably pursuing his law
full occupation, be obliged to BEG
FOR HIS PAY CHECK-and per-
haps beg unavailingly AT THE
