Frick for the benefit of his widow and daughter, were not subject to the federal estate tax under the revenue act of 1918, tho supreme court held today. The court held that the section which imposed a tnx upon the pro ceeds of life insurance pollcios as a part of tho estate was effoctive only upon jiolicles written after tho act went Into force. Tho decision was eagerly awaited by largo estates not only because It was "expectod to determine the right of the foderal government to tax pro ceeds of life Insurance policies taken out for the benefit of members of tho fnmilics.of persons who had accumu lated large wealth, iltut also because large estates expected It to set a pre cedent on the questiun of the riKht of the government to tnx trusts creat ed during the life of those who had large estates, the result of the trust being to transfer, prior to the enact ment of the taxing statute, property which would o(herwlse have been subjected under tho law, to taxation at the time of the death of the donor.

WASHINGTON, May. 11 Comple tion of settlement and acceleration of agricultural dovclopmont are the out standing needs of many federal re clamation projects, Secretary Work declnred today In a statement sum marizing the rosult of his recant in- . speotlon tour. The secretary said tho dlscovory that settlers are leaving projects and farmers are falling to - take their places was a cause for "real anxiety" to those who had the cause of rocla- Imatlon at heart. . "The money to .repay project costs comes from the farm and Is paid the government by the fnrmers," ho said. "Unless settlers can bo attracted to the projects and are able to remain there will be no one benefitted by building them and the i government will not be reimbursed-for their cost. . "Of the dozen projects we visited , we were primarily interested In the ' success of tho older ones' as an ssur- -nnca that tho development of the now opes may;be reasonably expected. - It Is a cause for anxiety, therefore wnonr It Is found that the settlers are leav ing -and farmerB fall to come, to take' their place. To avert this, we are trying , to ' dlsoover some new- land settlement program and have . been holding conferences with -railroad -emigration agents and governors, try- ' (ng to enllirt their assistance. : Upon It reata not-only the success Of the pro--Jeota already built but of the pr.jjeoui to be built In the future." I The administration Is "committed to dovoh,pmont of all feasible recla mation projects," Secretary Work -said, but he added that It should be remembered "no new project Is feas ible unless It can be Bottled and that no old project from which the sottlorB nre leaving and to which farmers can- . not bo attracted will ultimately sur vive." - Can't Droft Settlers -"The reclamation service can build irrlKiitlon works." he said, "but it can not draft settlers. We hope stntos, railroads and chambers of commerce I will co-operate with us to this end. Local towns and states will be the first beneficiaries from new projects, I the government will be the last. The Inst Intention of reclamation was to build homes. We want to insure the ownership of homes tq those who make them." - Rofcrrlng to the relief granted fnr mers on the old project, Sooretary Work said that congress had been extremely generous In permitting tho deferment of payment In cases where settlers found themselves in financial difficulties'. But It was found, he said that there have been requests for wholesale relief in which the entire Irrigation districts composed of hun dreds of farmors, have asked that tholr charges be jointly suspended. We cannot accede to requests for blanket relief. I "In many of these districts there 'are farm owners and fnrmers who ! rent their lands and others who are prosperous. I "It would be manifestly unjust to ' their neighbors who cannot pay and to tho government to let them escape naylng the charges due the govern ment under the oontract when ablo to do so.- The government must' keep its contract with the Bottler and he In turn with the government. . - "This does not moan that rollof to the Individual farmors Is being de- nled. Every application Is receiving fair and equitable consideration. Any settler on. any project who presents reasonable proof of his inability financially to moot his payments Is being granted an extension of time, oxpoctlng that he will eventually p:y his obligations to the government as provided by- congress," ' ' - . the boilers about four o'clock. Short ly before six residents saw the smoke and flames. The fire had gained such headway that when tho fire department arrived all efforts at bringing it under control were fruitless. -; While C. J.
