lieves there will be little friction in put
ting the law into effect. The blank forms
upon which the corporations must make
returns will be ready within forty or fifty
days for transmission to the corporations.
Before that time there will probably be
promulgated regulations. for the enforce
ment of the law. These regulations VIII
post the corporations fully as to just
