A brand new is being worked on unwary merchants in this district and many have been talked into buying them at high prices. The State Department of Revenue is aroused by the action of the crooks and has launched a drive to check the sales of needless forms and control books for reporting on the state's new emergency sales tax. Merchants in a number of towns are reported to have paid anywhere from 35 cents to $3 for the various types of forms, all of which, the revenue department says, are absolutely unnecessary for the tax returns. Representatives of the department have been tracing the salesmen, but so far have been unable to learn their identity.

These salesmen, according to the department of revenue, prey on the uninformed merchants, particularly those of foreign extraction. Some of them are said to pose as agents of tax service bureaus and even claim connections with the department. None of these so-called tax service bureaus or agents selling such service have any connection, official or otherwise, with the state department of revenue, according to its secretary, Leon D. Metzgar, who says business men are being misled by claims they must have the various forms. "Ordinarily accounting records which clearly set forth the facts are Jthat iftf required "by.

"The department is not asking those liable to the tax to change their accounting system. No special envelopes are needed for keeping urges merchants to refuse to buy forms. He also requests anyone having knowledge of agents operating in their territory who misrepresent the facts to notify either the department at Harrisburg or the nearest state highway patrol DELAY INQUEST IN DALESSIO DEATH Dr. P.
