the government all estimates as to the
amounts that must be raised for taxa

taxes may be upset II the Department
of Justice should lose two cases which
have just been argued before the su-

1.-THE most important financial liti-
cation in which the government has
been engaged" is the way officials at
the Department of Justice describe the
cases and it is estimated that fully
$50O,0O0,000 IN taxes that already have
been collected may have to be given
back by the government if the outcome
of the cases is unfavorable.
Rivalling in importance the famous
stcck-dividend cases, the two big prin-
ciples at issue in the pending cases are
of far-reaching Importance to the bust
ness men Of the country as we'll as to
all persons who have money invested
in trust funds.
One is known as the invested CAPT.
tai case and the other the capital as
sets case. The first grows out of the
rise in value of some coal lands from
100000 to something like $10,000,000
in few years. The concern in ques-
ton issued stock to the amount of the
ten million and the GOVERNING claims

upon what was described as "Japan's
resentment to any American policy
calculated to curb Japanese expansion
in ASIA" than upon the California
