"BY Their Fruits. "

Washington, d. G., Nov. 12.-Ad'
ministration officials are alarmed at the
possibility of further loss in revenue.
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 COM
panies under the war tax law Is in
volved in litigation.
The first of these cases Is set for trial
before December I. 1t is apparent that
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
attorneys in defending the suits. 1t is
said that unusually large retainers have
been paid on both sides for legal ad-
vice.
The litigation is particularly vexa.
tious to the government because Con-
gress laid the foundation for 1t by a
stupid blunder. The tax involved Is
levied under section Of the war tax
law referring to banks and bankers
At the time 1t was passed federal
courts had already declared that q
statute identical in terms, SO far as trust
companies were concerned, with the
present law, was insufficient to make
trust companies liable for the tax i'm
posed.
1t is said that IL Congreas had exer
cised ordinary caution and drafted the
war tax law 80 that 1t should not con
fiict with q precedent already estab
lished by federal courts, the litigation
could have been avoided. BY careless
ly neglecting this elementary principle,
Congress virtually gave the trust COM
panies mortgage on all the revenue
they have paid, which they may fore
close by judicial procedure.
A decision adverse to the government
would be unusually embarrassing at
this time. In the first place, 1t would
mean further shrinkage in revenues
directly due to Democratic carelessness.
The treasury deficit long ago assumed
ugly proportions. and additional leak
ages would be damaging, both financial
ly and politically.
Furthermore, it Is proposed to i'm
mediately re- enact the war tax law,
which automatically expires December
81, 1915. This places the administra
ton on the two horns of dilemma. If
the paragraph by which trust COM
panies are taxed is amended. 1t Is a
confession of error. But IL 1t is re-
enacted without amendment, and the
courts later decide against the validity
of the law, a large sum in revenues will
be lost.
by their fruits ye shall know them"
The administration has proposed pro-
gram of legislation for national defense
that calls for the highest degree Of sc
curacy and efficiency in law making,
and fiscal policy that will finance it.
The muddle over the trust company tax
is ali apt illustration of complete Demo
cratic failure on both counts.

There was a notable gathering of jobbers and wholesalers at the first meeting of the Boston Stores creditors which occurred a month later. Abe and Morris were both there, and they vainly scanned the faces of the assem- bled host for the features of Philip Unterberg. They also made careful examination of the schedules of in- debtedness, but nowhere could they find the name Unterberg.
 "Ain't Philip Unterberg fin 1t with the rest of us?" Abe inquired in trem- bling tones of Louis Marcus, fellow creditor, who was standing near by.
 "Why, no," said Marcus. "I seen him yesterday, and he told me that the last time he was In Hugel X Fish blatt's be collected q hundred dollar bill that was three weeks overdue.

 FAITH IN MEN

I like he man who has deep faith in men, Who has abiding trust in each and all, Who doubts not one, nor hesitates tocall The least or lowliest his brother Ten, Yea, and a hundred times he par dons, when, Forgetful of their higher selves, they fall; Who leads them, as did David hap less Saul, Back to the thought of healing Good again. But, more than this, I like the man who goes Not songless to the common tasks Of life, Bu- twines a flower round his tools of trade; Who boasts not what he does or what he knows; Who brings no sword but Love to conquer strife, And, king of self, of nothing is afraid.
