Another meritorious feature con.

the entire absence Of red tape which in

The Income Tax Once More.


The announcement that if the income
tax becomes law test case as to its
constitutionality will be prepared by
Pennsylvania noted constitutional
lawyer, John G. Johnson, acquires ad-
ditonal interest to Scrantonians by
reason of Mr. Johnsons recent presence
inthis city as one Of the counssls in the
Spencer suit. There ia no division or
opinion among lawyers az to Mr.. john
sons ability to prepare 4 strong case
should that labor be forced upon him
as a result of Democratic folly. Indeed,
the longer this revenue proposition is
considered by persons who look deeper
than the merely superficial conclusion
that it "makes the rich men pay the
costs of government the less excuse
does there seem for its advancement IN
time of peace, aud the less justice does
it tpossess.
Mr. johnson states the case mildly
when he asserts that it is a most
odious and despicabe measure, " and
