 The case was taken under advise ment by the court. more than one mil lion dollars being involved in the as- sessment.
 The case was tried on two points. ' said Mr. Zander. Whether or not the taxpayer is compelled to pay taxes be- iore ne can raise any kind of question m court respecting them, and whether the tax, after all, was illegal.
 The owners claimed that for two years the land was the property of the United States, not segregated from the

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
Statement by Swift and Company


 Chicago, February 20 1918. The Editor, the Arizona Republican, Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:
 In The Republican of February 7th there appeared an editorial entitled ''The Packers Investigation" in which it is implied that the packers are guilty of violation of various laws.
 The assumption is evidently based on the story sent out on the raid of the offices of MT. Henry Veeder in Chi cago in the search for documents which might be used in substantiating the contentious of the investigators. Mr. Veeder stood on his constitutional rights that his personal property was not subject to search and seizure; the matter is to be heard by the United States circuit court of appeals on March 1st.
 The Federal Trade commission in vestigators have been working on Swift & company's books for the past six months and have every access to all of the information and correspond
