MAPES TAX BILLS WILL BE OPPOSED Montgomery Federation Com- mittee to Present Recom- mendations Tonight. & Btaff Correspondent of The Btar BETHESDA, Md., January 11.—Pol- icies of Montgomery County regarding the Mapes taxation bills now pending before Congress were formulated by the Committee on Public Finance and Bud- get of the Montgomery County Civic Federation in the county building here yesterday and the committee’s action | will be taken before the federation for approval at the meeting at the Bethesda | School tonight. 1 The committee meeting, presided over f by Stephen James, chairman, also dis- cussed in brief the several other mat- ters pending before it, but none of these matters is expected to be taken up to- night, Mr. James stated ! To Oppose Measures. The committee agreed with regard to the Mapes bills, which as they now stand contain provision for the payment of income taxes to the District of Co- Jumbia on all monies earned in the Dis- trict whether by residents of Washing- e, that the policy of the | ould be the opposition of that | portion of the bill affecting Montgomery County in particular and at the sa time that the bills in general be posed. Opposition to the bills in general was advocated on the grounds of the near- ness of the county to Washington and also on the grounds that the members of the federation and the residents of the county are citizens of the United States. The committee will ask the federation to authorize a delegation to appear before the Senate committee which is to hold hearings on the meas- ures at which time the views adopted by the federation will be put forth. The features of the measures affects ing Montgomery County were opposed on three counts the first of which was that the citizens of the county already make an adeguate contribution- to ‘the District of Columbia by reason of indi- Tect taxes paid through® purchases dn Washington. The measure was opposed also on the grounds that the bill is in- tended as a substitute for the intangible tax In the District of Columbia while it cannot relieve residents of thé county of their intangible tax. Suburban Area Declared Asset. Thirdly, it was contended that the existence on the edge of the District of Columbia of & desirable suburban sec- tion which costs the District nothing is an asset to Washington. This section, if it were annexed to the city, it was set forth, would cost the city more per capita for the expenses of highways, water, sewer and other jtems than is, now: paid for each resident of the Dis- triet, and since the residents of the coupty receive only the usual benefits | from Washington which are received by any, one, no matter how far from the District he might live, there is no rea- son, why the county residents should be called on to pay more toward the Dis- triet's expenses. The committee reported receiving a detailed statement from the Washing- ton Suburban Sanitary Commission re- garding two subjects now pending be- fore the committee for investigation one of them being the Huntington resolu- tion calling for an investigation of facts relating to water supply and report of reasons for any discrepancy between cost and distribution charges and the | other a report on the financial policies of “the Sapitary Commission. These matters will.be referred to a special subcommittee for further action, Mr. James stated. A special committee will also be named to take up the matter of studying.the system of depositing county funds, surety bonds, rates, in- terest, etc., pending before the commit- | tee, it was stated.

WORKERS GO 10 CONGRESSMEN Conferences Follow Council’s Three-Day Session to Fight Pay Reduction. After a three-day session, in which declarations were formulated in oppo- sition to pay reduction and in favor of legislation to better the condition of Government workers, members of the Executive Council of the National Fed- eration of Federal Employes tods holding conferences with members of Congress on the program for which they stand. In winding up their council attacked William Green, presi- dent of the American Federation of Labor, for reputedly attempting to stir sentiment among the federation for reconeiliation between the two groups, which split on the reclassification issue. At the same time the council called upon Congress for a new classification act, which would extend this principle to the field service. President Green “is now planning to bore from within,” the council said in a statement on the reported move to bring the Federal employes back into the ranks of the Federation of Labor, from which it withdrew because the latter opposed classification backed by its affiliate. Few Urge Acceptance. “A former employe of the National Federation of Federal Emplo dis- charged for cause, is endeavoring to work up sentiment in favor of a ref- erendum on our relations with the American Federation of Labor,” the council said. It added that “fewer than a half dozen” locals have urged acceptance of “the invitation from President Green d ;he meeting of the Executive of the federation of labor to discuiss %the problem at issue with the thought in view of finding a way to adjust the present situation.” The council says also.that since with- drawal _ from the national federation the Federal employes have added 24 new Jocals and more than 7,060 mem- meeting, the TS, The statement also criticizes general- | going, | years —A.P.

On the question of classification, the council said: “The best interests of the Govern- | ment and of the taxpayers of the| United States would be served at this time by the enactment of & thorough- scientific system of personnel classification for Federal employes. “Suck legislation, fundamental in nature, would be a direct means of giv- ing greater efficiency to every dollar spent by the Government for personal servi and should be adopted to im- | prove work standards. | “It has been recognized for many by the highest authorities that such a system of classification should be adopted by the Government to apply to its employes in the field as well as in the District of Columbia. “Because, as has been pointed out re- | peatedly sification would bring a greater degree of efficiency into the service, and render more effective the funds spent for personal services, the enactment of such legislation is espe- cially desirable now.
