 MT. Ashbel Barney came as George V of England. MT. Bar ney had grown a beard, and bore a startling resemblance to his late and revered Majesty. It was unusually cheering to see the Prince and his noble father eat- ing supper together in great cameraderie.
 I think two of the entries were amusing inasmuch as they were the two great Presidential oppo- nents of the year before. Mime Frances Aida, the opera singer, who has wonderful sense of makeup, and lacks the usual .var- ity that initiates most prima don- mas, came as Al Smith with his brown derby and great cigar. She wore a mask that was SO lifelike that everybody said to me, "What nerve you have, as your guests are mostly Republicans, to invite the Democratic leader!"
 But as I happened to be made up as MT. Hoover myself, you can draw your own conclusions. thoroughly respect and hold MT Hoover in the greatest esteem Notwithstanding this. I feel that in choosing him as my opposite I was really paying him the high est compliment.
 So you see how I tried out my formulas the first time in New York.

 See New Philosophy | Many tax authorities saw in the steeply graded levy on undistribut- cd corporate earnings, passed over loud opposition from industry. an expression of social and economic philosophy more important in the long run than immediate revenue producing effects.
 They linked it with heavy Federal spending, public works and high in- come taxes on the upper extremes of wealth as an avenue for sluicing money into consumption channels to raise purchasing power of the masses and speed full employment of the nations productive machin- cry.
 What long range influence this would have upon expansion of in- dustrial plants and industries sup plying tools of the machine age was a topic of controversy.
 Purchasing Power Climbs
 At any rate. a record-breaking year-end downpour of extra and special dividends accompanied the rush to reduce tax liabilities under the law.
 Wage increases and Christmas bonuses for workers swelled the na- tion's stream of purchasing power substantially at a time when rising prices threatened to lift living costs further.
 Many companies stated candidly they were paying out funds which ordinarily would have gone into reserves for contingencies or expan- sion. Wholesale revamping of divi- dend policies was evident.
 Another important effect of the tax law was increased pressure for simplification of corporate struc- cures by lower exemptions on in- ter company dividends. Coupled with previous legislation. including the 1885 tax utility holding company act, the tax measure appeared to have hastened elimination of sub sidiary units to avoid penalties on complicated holding setnps

NEW YORK-Business in 1886 steered course marked by far reaching Federal laws touching trade and industrial policies.
 Washington's legislative mill slow ed down after three years of mo- mentous activity for reform and control of the money machinery, the securities business and large sectors of industry. But cut of the last session of Congress came, mo- tably, a tax measure-the corpor- ate surplus levy-which helped pro- duce a spectacular year-end distrl- button of dollars to shareholders and workers.
 Get Adjusted to New Laws
 Besides dipping into larger earn ings to disburse hundreds of mill lions of dollars in extra dividends and bonuses to workers, business sought to adjust itself to the Rob- inson-Patman law against price dis elimination in distribution of goods and the Social Security program passed in the previous session.
 At the same time helmsmen of business had to keep an eye on the Supreme Court as New Deal meas ures underwent the constitutional test.
