"The progress mud In dealing with

"On April 30, 1921, whin the treas

"Against Its December maturities,
Ih treasury will receive, It is esti

and profit taxes, which will 'still fur

surance that tli refunding which re

completed without strain on the coun

"Her He a man who knew how

Document made pubic yeatwday and
tiled in the appellut division of ths
supreme court, In supjiort of an ap
peal asking that a $4,000,000 pension
fund creuted by C'ariiegls's will bs de
clared untaxable, sounded a practical
overtone to tli keynote of th epi
taph. The appeal wa granted.
The documents showed that (00
men and women, most of them mors

1 0.900 yearly. Home of them are
workmen grown too old for their
trades; some of them have btun
