Economic Questions {Stabilization Answers O Internal Revenue This column of questions and answers on the President's Economic Stabilization program is provided by the local office of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and is published as a public service. The column answers questions mos^jfrequently asked about wages fend prices. Q. When my landlord notified me that he was going to raise my rent, I asked the Internal Revenue Service for an in­ terpretation as to whether the increase was justified and the IRS said it was. Can I appeal this decision? A. Yes. Within 10 days of the interpretation that his rent increase is justified, a tenant may appeal to his IRS district office and may also request a conference to discuss the case. In any case in which an appeal has been denied in whole or in part by the IRS district con­ feree, the tenant will be notified that he^ijiay appeal to the Price Q. Ait prescription druggists subject to posting requirements for retailers? A. Yes. The dispensing of prescription drugs is considred a retail activity and, therefore, it is covered by Price Com­ mission regulations requiring that base prices by posted. The fact that a professional pharmacist is employed to dispense drugs is incidental to the sale of those drugs and does not alter the retail nature of the transaction. IRS Publication S- 3010, Posting Requirements for Prescription Druggists, provides detailed information on how pharmacists should comply with the posting regulations. Send a postcard to your IRS district office for a free copy. Q. Will the Internal Revenue Service issue interpretations or rulings with respect to prices to be charged after April 30, 1973? A. No. The Economic Stabilization Act of 1970, as amended, expires on April 30, 1973, with respect to tran­ sactions after that date Generally, the Internal Revenue Service will not issue ruHngjf with imSPRTTnEMir sactions that will occur after that date. Q. Recently, the legislature in my state increased the per diem amount it pays to citizens who sit on juries. Is this in­ crease permissible under Price commission regulations? A. Yes. Because payments to jurors are economic tran­ sactions which are not prices, rents, wages or salaries, they are not within the coverage of the stabilization program. Q. Do I have to wait for ap­ proval from the Pay board to start paying a deferred in­ crease due next month under a pay agreement in effect prior to Nov. 14, 1971? A. No. Existing contracts and pay practices previously set forth can operate according to their terms except that specific contracts or pay practices are subject to review when challenged by a party at in­ terest or by two of the seven members of the Pay Board. Q. Do special procedural rules apply to providers of health services who request an exception? A. No. The general procedural rules for requesting exception to the Economic Stabilization Regulations apply to health providers. 2. 3.

An eighteen-year old boy was the driver of the car involved in same. "I do not know the girl or boy involved personally. However, being the mother of four childbren, one who will soon be taking 'Driver's Ed;' I believe too much emphasis is put on young adults doing wrong and not enough on the good things they do. "I personally have been wrongly accused by 'several good citizens and long time members' of McCullom Lake village, of speeding through the village. A police officer has never cited me for same but because some adults have extra time on their hands and feel they must be the judge, court, etc., I am occasionally stopped by an officer and reminded to drive slowly although he has admitted he did not think I was speeding but must answer all calls. "I will commend McCullom Lake police on their thoroughness in patrolling the area. "I don't know if this boy had previous misdemeanors or not. I am sure however, the death of this girl will linger a long time in his mind and he certainly does not need a reminder of his misfortune of being 18 years old. "Some adults could certainly take lessons from our young adults in driving manners on our roads. Thank you for printing this letter.
