peoples courts, the tribunals are each
manned by three judges, appointed by
the government in Moscow, according
to Lovroff. Unanimity is necessary to
convict. In case of division, all write
out their decisions and the case Is au-
tomaticaily referred to the higher
court. There are no juries.
The judges are mostly former work
ers, who have proved themselves
trustworthy and possessed Of level
heads. Virtually none ever had legal
experience, although many Of the at
torneys now practicing in the courts
were lawyers before the war. The
majority of the judges are Commun-

Lovroff himself was an iron foundry

the supreme court, sitting in Moscow,
was baker.

declared in an interview with the

Thus far. these courts have dealt al
most exclusively with cases Of bribery

embezzlement or despoiliation of pub

said. Later. their activities will be
extended. ,Th
: Hearings of political prisoners are
still conducted in secret by the

The tribunals are operating without
any written statutes or criminal code,
beyond few general DEGREES from the
Kremlin during the earlier days of the

use their own discretion in administer

THE REvENB ACT OF 1921.

Most federal internal revenue taxes
payable in 1922 are imposed by the
revenue Act of 1921, approved by the
president November 23rd last. This
law is very similar in form and sub
stance to the revenue act of 1919.
Many, of the so-called war taxes are
repealed by the new act effective as of
January l.. 1921, while certain other
changes are not effective until JAM
uary l, 1922.
The excess profits tax law, while re-
pealed as of January 1, 1922, is still in
effect for the collection of taxes for
the business year 1921, the returns for
which must be filed on or before
March is, 1922. S.R
Likewise, no reductions in the sur
tax rates imposed under the revenue
act of 1918 is effective untilsthe tax
able year 1922. The new tax law as
|it stands at present, will not have
much effect on general business. 1t Is
less favorable than was hoped for but
slightly more favorable than the law
we have had.
The estimated yield expected on
1921 business is approximately $3,-
PIG, 900 900, which is $70,000,000 less
than the yield for 1920. Considering
the reduced amount Of business from
which these taxes must be drawn. 1t Is
apparent that the revision made so
far will tend to tighten the burden but
little. with the exception of the mis-
|cellaneous luxury taxes and transport
tation taxes which were repealed as
of January 1, 1922.
The new law has been frequently
mentioned as being a temporary mea-
sure only and it will not be surprising
to see further revisions made in the
law before taxes on 1922 business are
imposed. The trend Of new tax leg
islation Is expected to be In the re-
iduction Of present stirtax rates the
increase in corporation tax from Il
1-2 per cent imposed under the pres
ent bill as well as to further enlarge
the scope Of the present manufactur.
er's tax on sales, which has been i'm
posed successfully under the revenue
act of 1918, and, which was enlarged
under the revenue act Of 1921 to in
clude certain of the so-called luxur.
taxes, that, under the 1918 law wer'
collected from the dealer but repeale,
