then the District is suffering
tremendous losses in not getting
all taxes in advance.
The District won't lose a
nickel. They shauld catch up in
three or four months time"
Said Mr.. Kronheim:
There won't be a bottle of
whisky sold without the tax
being paid. If that constitutes
a loss to the District, it's a new
definition of loss to me-"
Commented Mr.. Shaw:
IF a man gets his pay check
on Friday and the time of pay
ment is deferred until Wednes-
day Of the next week, does he
lose anything? That is what
happens here. Instead of June,
it is July. AS long as there is a
July, the District will get it's
money"
Bookkeeping, Says Schwartz
Mr.. Schwartz said:
This is not a loss. I don't
agree with the District officials
We pay the tax. This is a book
keeping thing: It's not our fault
that the fiscal year ends June
30"
However, Mr.. Lowe and Mr..
Back steadfastly contend that
while all liquor sales will con-
tinue to be taxed, the change in
the tax system will result in a
substantial revenue loss for the
District.
Mr.. Back said that the fol-
lowing simplified and hypothet-
ical example illustrates what
happens under the new law:
John Doe pays a certain tax
on his constant income in two
installments in 1859, SIS in jan
uary and 81 in JUNE, a total OF
Sc.
In 1860, the law is changed
so that Johns June payment
is deferred until July, the first
month of the new fiscal year
Therefore, in 1860 he pays only
the S. January tax.
In 1861, John will pay the
deferred 81 tax installment in
July and the regular $5 tax
in January. So his total tax
payment is back to Sc, but the
loss of 81 suffered in 1860 is
not recovered in 1861 or any
succeeding year.
While fluctuations in Johns
income might change the
amount of tax he will pay in a
particular year, any such
change would also have been
reflected in revenue received
under the previous tax system
Therefore, an increase in his
tax payments later on caused
by greater income does not re-
pay for the particular loss
suffered when the law was

deferred and that the District
will not lose any revenue.
Under the old tax system,
District liquor wholesalers, and
retailers who import special
brands, bought tax stamps in
advance of their purchase from
distillers.
However, under the new sys-
tenn liquor wholesalers will re-
port by the 10th Of the month
the quantity of beverages sub
ject to taxation which were
sold by them in the previous
month. The tax payments are
not due until the 18th of the
month following the sale.
Backs Version
Here's how the revenue loss"
occurs, according to Mr.. Back
Liquor wholesalers have been
cutting back on their liquor
stamp purchases in anticipation
of the change to the reporting
system. The revenue loss, or de-
crease, in November this month
as compared to the same
month a year ago is about
$500,0O0, District officials re-
port.
In addition to the losses be-
cause of the reduction in sur
plus stamp inventories, the Dis
trict Government also will Suf-
fer a loss in June, the last
month of this fiscal year, he
says.
Under the former method,
the District received tax reve-
nues from liquor sold in June
in that same month or earlier
through sale of tax stamps.
But under the new system,
wholesalers will not have to pay
the tax on liquor sold in June
until July, the first month of
the new fiscal year. This means
that the District will not get in
this fiscal year the 100000 or
$500,000 normally expected in
June from this revenue source.
The District will get this
money in July and in the future
will receive each July payments
on sales made in June, but re-
payment of the loss suffered
when the change took place in
this fiscal year is perpetually
deferred, according to Mr.. Back.
O'ConnelI'S Contention
Mr.. O'Connell, on the other
hand, sees it this way: THE
District has not lost any money.
The only thing they won't have
in their Golfers is the money
for June which they will collect
in July.
Its not a loss. It's a deferral
It's a loss only in the sense that
they won't be getting their tax
in advance any more. But ii
you are going to say it is a loss,

THERE ARE NO MORE
firemen or policemen as such
just public safety officers.
Fire stations and police sta
tions are combined in new
construction. Only enough
men to man the desk and the
lookup and drive the fire
vehicles remain in the station
house. The remainder on
duty are out cruising the city
in radio-equipped scout cars.
These public safety officers
have firemen's helmets and
boots and slickers in the car,
also a hydrant wrench and
probably a hand fire extin-
guisher.
When a fire alarm goes off
it's Calling all cars!" on the
radio. The scout cars speed
to the fire.
A study made in Sunnyvale
showed that, on the average,
the first two scout cars ar
rived 90 minutes after the
alarm; the fire engines, S.S
minutes after.
A minute may save a life,
proponents point out.
Opponents say that a fire
fighting team arriving from
different quarters of the city
is not a properly organized
one.
In a Canadian city, they
say, a gang of yeggs started
a number of diversionary
fires. While the public safety
officers were fighting the
fires, the yeggs took their
time about cracking a credit

A new system for taxing
liquor in the District goes into
effect today.
1t was provided for by legis-
lation adopted at the last Ses-
sion Of Congress. The new law
changes the District tax on
liquor from a prepayment to a
postpayment system.
The effect of this law on
District revenues is the subject
of a sharp difference of opin-
ion between District officials
and representatives of the
liquor industry.
District officials contend
that the switch will result in
a one-time loss of revenue that
can never be recovered as long
