WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, d. c., July 19.-Every
dollar of the hundreds and thousands
paid by trust companies to the gov
eminent under the provisions of the
"war tax" law may have to be return

Practically every trust company in
the United States which has paid, un-

graph / of section of the "war tax
is preparing to litigate the right OF
the government to collect Test cases
have already been brought in various
federal courts. The foundation for
these suits was laid by the Democrats
through an apparent oversight in
drafting the law.
The oversight lay in the failure to
properly define bankers" The blum
der is emphasized by the fact that but
few months before the "war tax
was levied, the Democratic Congress
had appropriated thousands of dollars
to pay back to trust companies re-
fund ordered by federal courts fol
lowing litigation on the same question
Section of the war tax" declares
that bankers "shall pay 81 for every
$1,000 of capital used or employed.
1t then defines who shall be termed
banker under the act. The definition
of banker" is identical with that
which the federal courts but short
time before held inadequate to render
trust companies liable to such tax
The Democrats had ample warning
The language of the federal courts
decision conclusively showed thai
banker" must be more adequately
defined to include trust companies.
"In the case at bar" said the de-
cision, 1.-The plaintiff is not bank OF

the things enumerated in the section
as indicative of such business, its
