...working 25 years? With many of them this life is a terrible struggle for existence. A revision of the banking laws as suggested would doubtless be beneficial and in addition to this what we need is a heavy inheritance tax on large fortunes, say 95% on all over a million dollars, use this money to make public improvements and to pay the National debt and to pay the Soldiers' Pensions...
Thus without counting "extras and in- cidentals," the King-Emperor's pneumonia will likely cost his people over £50,000 or almost a quarter of a million dollars...

...Television Corp. was announced last winter (TIME, Dec. 17), as a $10,000,000 company with Anthony Joseph Drexel Biddle Jr. as a director. Last week it reported on its first four months of corporate life. Scanners of its balance sheet were somewhat puzzled to account for the ten million dollar estimate of size. The company had $186,000 cash on hand and in banks, $350,000 in the call loan market, some $78,000 in fixed assets. Of its $9,509,866.44 total assets, no less than $8,892,604.89 consisted of book value of patents and patent rights...
