wilderness transformed as by uecrom-
ancy into a smiling picture OF farm
prosperity, with cattle in thousand
pastures and wheat rolling to the no.

Than the president, as the attorney

the view that the income act is of
general application; that it was not
ucSigned to reduce the salaries of

contrary to previous income fax
