Some Of the northern journals that are op.
posed to the income tax and assert that it is
scheme of the South and West to make the
North pay more than its fair share of the cost
of the Government. base their opposition TO it
upon the ground of its uuoonstitutionality. 1t
was unconstitutional to make anything but coin
legal tender, it YVES unconstitutional to divide
the State of Virginia. it was unconstitutional to
declare Mr.. Hayes President 10 the way it Was
done. The wishes and desires of the North
have always been sufficient, 10 the opinion of
the people Of that section, for the applicability
of law higher than the constitution, but fortu-
nately an income tax can be imposed without
resort to such a law.
