232 U.S. 299
United States v. Bennett (232 U.S. 299)
Argued: January 6 and 7, 1914. --- Decided: February 24, 1914
ON A CERTIFICATE from the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit presenting the following questions:
I. Does the tax purporting to be imposed by § 37 of the act of Congress, approved August 5, 1909, apply to the use of a foreign-built yacht owned by a citizen of the United States, when such yacht, for a period of more than one year prior to September 1, 1909, and to the levy of such tax, was used wholly outside of the limits and territorial jurisdiction of the United States. Answered in the affirmative.
II. Did the tax purporting to be imposed by said act of Congress operate retrospectively, so as to be payable on September 1, 1909, in respect of the year then ended, or only prospectively, so as to become first due and payable on September 1, 1910? Answered in the affirmative.
III. Did the whole amount of the tax purporting to be imposed by said act of Congress become due and payable on September 1, 1909, or only such proportion thereof as the time during which the act was in force at that date bears to the whole year? Answered in the affirmative; the whole tax.
IV. Has Congress the power to levy a tax upon the use by a citizen of the United States of a yacht which is not actually, and since the year 1904 was not at any time, used within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States, and which has its permanent situs in a foreign country? Answered in the affirmative.
V. Does said act of Congress, by purporting to impose a tax upon the use of foreign-built yachts alone, provide a valid tax, or a valid classification for purposes of taxation, within the power to lay and collect taxes delegated to Congress by the Constitution of the United States? Answered in the affirmative.
VI. Is the tax purporting to be imposed by said act of Congress in conflict with the requirement of due process of law contained in the 5th article of Amendment to the Constitution of the United States? Answered in the negative.
VII. Is the United States entitled to recover interest upon the tax imposed upon the use of foreign-built yachts in and by § 37 of the tariff act of August 5, 1909? Answered in the affirmative.

* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
358 U.S. 55
WORZ, Inc. v. Federal Communications Commission
The petition for writ of certiorari is granted. In view of the representations in the Solicitor General's brief on pages 4 and 5, concerning testimony given before the Subcommittee on Legislative Oversight of the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce subsequent to the decision by the Court of Appeals in this case, the judgment of the Court of Appeals is vacated and the case is remanded to the Court of Appeals for such action as it may deem appropriate.
Mr. Justice CLARK and Mr. Justice HARLAN dissent. The matters referred to by the Court were not presented in the Court of Appeals and are not presented by this petition. Agreeing with the Solicitor General that denial of the petition for writ of certiorari would not foreclose appropriate consideration thereof by the Court of Appeals, we see no reason for vacating the Court of Appeals' judgment and, therefore, dissent from this disposition of the matter by the Court.
