"WAR TAX" LITIGATION.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. %, 1915.
Administration officials are alarmed at
the possibility of further loss in reve-
nue..
Some months ago certain trust COM
panies brought suit to recover amounts
paid by them under the war tax law,
Their example was followed by others,
until at the present time practically
every dollar paid by the trust companies
under the war tax law is inv )lved in lit
igation.
The first of these cases is set for trial
before December LIST. 1t is apparent
the administration is by no means con-
fident of the integrity of the law Con-
gress enacted, for additional counsel has
been employed to aid government attor-
neys in defending the suits. 1t is said
that unusually large retainers have been
paid on both sides for legal advice.
The litigation is particularly vexatious
to the government because Congress laid
the foundation for it by stupid blunder.
The tax involved is levied under Sec
ton 3 of the war tax law referring
to banks and bankers. At the time it
was passed federal courts had already
declared that statute identical in terms,
so far as trust companies were concern
ed. with the present law, was insufficient
to make trust companies liable for the
tax imposed.
1t is said that if Congress had exer-
cised ordinary caution and drafted the
war tax law so that it should not con-
fiict with precedent already established
by federal courts, the litigation could
have been avoided. By carelessly neg
lecting this elementary principle, Con-
gress virtually gave the trust compa :
MES mortgage on all the revenue they
have paid, which they may forecose by
judicial procedure.
A decision adverse to the government
would be unusually embarrassing at
this time. In the first place, it would
mean further shrinkage in revenues
directly due to the Democratic careless
ness. The treasury deficit long ago as
sumed ugly proportions, and additions
leakages would be damaging, both f.
nancially and politically.
Furthermore, it is proposed to imme-
diately reenact the war tax law, which
automatically expires December 81, 1915.
This places the administration on the two
horns of dilemma. If the paragraph
by which trust companies are taxed is
amended, it is confession of error. But
if it is reenacted without amendment. and
the courts later decide against the valid
ity of the law, large sum in revenues
will be lost.
''By their fruits We shall know them. "
The administration has proposed pro-
grsm of legislation for national defense
that calls for the highest degree of accu-
racy and efficiency in law making, and
fiscal policy that will finance it. the
middle over the trust company tax is an
apt illustration of complete Democratic
failure on both counts.

constant throughout the summer and ~
result the detours laid out around 1t
by the Maine Automobile Association
were rendered practically impossible.
AS fast as one detour was worn out, an
other had to be arranged for. and so bad
were all of them, due to the weather,
that hundreds of automobiles destined
into Maine, turned back at Dunstan.
The contractors also had their trou-
bles. The rain greatly interferred with
their work, much difficulty was expert
enced in getting material fast enough to
keep up with the crews, and finally the
war in Italy took away many of the la
borers on the highway and it was nec-
essary to employ county prisoners for a
time.
The Maine State Highway Commission
is now making preparations to close up
the last short link in the State highway
between Portland and Portsmouth, N.
ii. This is distance of something over
four miles between the end of the new
concrete at Dunstan and the city of
Saco. The Commission plans to do all
the preliminary work on this stretch this
winter. start the construction at the
earliest possible moment in the spring
and rush it to completion by the first of
July in time for the heavy tide of tourist
travel which begins about July 4th. 1t
is expected that this stretch of highway
will be the same type OF construction as
that between Portland and Dunstan.
When this last link is finished there
will be perfect highway from tie New
H ampshire line at Portsmouth 10 Port
| and, which in turn will connect with the
new 25-mile bituminous macadam FEEDER
al Aid highway between Portland and
Brunswick.
By the end of the next season it is ex-
pected that there will be an improved
highway for the entire distance between
Portland and Bangor with the exception
of only about IL miles, which are not
very bad. This long stretch will con-
meet up with the hundreds of miles of
other new State highway throughout the
State and will make Maine veritable
network of good roads reaching out into
every section of it.

The Iron and Steel Industry

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. %, 1915. The
simple facts regarding the growth of
the iron and steel industry IN the United
States are more fascinating than fiction,
and true description of the methods
and the machinery which are in daily use
for changing crude ore into the thousand
and one finished forms in which iron and
steel are used in our modern civilization
reads like fairy tale.
Few people realize how greatly the
development of this colossal industry in
our country has depended on water trans
sportation. The fact that for many
years the United States has led the
world in the manufacture of iron and
steel is due, first of all, to the quaint ty
and quality of the iron ores placed by
nature in the Lake Superior region, and
next, scarcely second in Importance, to
the cheap transportation for this ore
which was, and is, furnished by the
Great Lakes.
One of the most nterestingsspecial
features of the Twelfth Annual Conven-
ton of the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress, which is to be held in this city
on December s, 9, and 10, will be the ex-
hibitlon, accompanied by an explanatory
lecture, of remarkable series of moving
pictures showing every step CT the
process from the time the ore is dug by
steam shovels in Minnesota, out of vast
open pits that are like the craters of
dead volcanoes, until the finished product
drops from the machines in Pennsylvania.
The first canal at the outlet of Lake
Superior was opened TO traffic sixty years
ago last June. Since that time more
than 90O,O00,0OO tons of freight have
been carried through this canal and its
successors, and of this vast total more
than 600, 600, 900 tons have been iron ore.
Some of the ships that carry this ore can
take fourteen thousand tons at load,
and the speed with which they can be
loaded and unloaded is marvellous. On
September 8, 1911, Great Northern Ore
Dock No. 4 put 1882 net tons of ore into
the steamer W. E. Corey in twenty-five
minutes. On August 8. 1912, the P. A.
B. Widener came alongside a dock in
Conneaut, Ohio, with II, 912 net tons of
ore in her hold. Two hours and fifty
minutes later every ton of it had been
