In considering the case we should
not permit its size to affect our judg-

question to be determined is what would
the Steel Corporation owe the Govern

laws. The amounts involved are neces-
sarily large since the Steel Corporation
paid about per cent of all the taxes
years and for the year 1918 paid 56
per cent of its income to the Federal
Government in taxes.
Under the final determination. the
Federal Government is actually re-
tanning about 100000 in addition to
the taxes originally paid by the corpora

tional payments, however, the final ad-

ment for the three years of approx
mately $21,000000 in principal and
Sl1,20o,000 in interest. The taxpayer
had brought suit in court for the re-

The regular road season has
been prolonged by the appearance
In repertory of Walter Hampden,
who compelled the highest admi-
ration, not only for his personal
craftsmanship, but for the ac-
curate literary taste demonstrated
in his selection of material. It
would be a misfortune for the
modern theater to have missed
his "Caponsacchi" and perhaps no
less a privation to have been
without his artistry in that re-
markable modern mystery play,
''The Servant in the House." An
other reminder of the imperish-
ability of Sheridan's genius will be
provided by an a1l-star cast in the

which touches Washington, D. c.,

AS the approaching Summer
promises leisure, sometimes an
unwelcome leisure, to player folk,
there is one department of the
drama which goes on forever, toll
ing over the type keys and spin
ming yarns-the press department.
Not all these yarns are fiction.
The best of them solve the art of
impreSSing simple, indisputable
facts with reference to program,
prices and personnel with as
much literary facility as may be
available. The sensational press
agent, who seeks to subordinate a
plain tale to his aspirations in the
arts of fiction, remains uncon-
vincing.
The serious side of publicity
promotion is eXemplified by the
announcement of a new organiZa-
th!p which will take its place
among those which have labored
in large degree apart from the
standardized methods system Of
production. Arthur Ryan takes
up the task of promoting the new
Philadelphia Theater Association
with an enthusiasm worthy of so
distinguished an enterprise. He
makes the statement that it was
in Philadelphia that the first pro-
fessional theatrical company Of
which America has any definite
record was established. This
will possibly be challenged by
Virginians, who claim that it was
Williamsburg which gave original
welcome in the New World when

that Miss Barrymore had given us her
