The Income Tax.
To the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press: s
AS the PRESS has 1ntimated, the
effort to test the constitutionality of the
law providing for taxation of in comes is a
wise one, and was inaugurated none too
soon, Without discussing the general
features of the law, there is one provision
in it which, to the commonest apprehen-
sion. is unsound, and collides directly
with the constitution. The supreme law
provides expressly that, "no hill of at
tainder or ex post facto law shall be
passed. The law i'll question provides
that from and after January l, 1895,
and until January 1899 there shall be
assessed, levied and paid annually upon
gains, profits and incomes received in the
preceding calendar year by persons and
parties enumerated two per cent. on
the amount of income exceeding four
thousand dollars, and directs collection
thereof on the income for the year end
ing the 31st day of December next pre-
ceding the time for levying the tax. &C
cordingly the first tax is made collecta-
BILE on income from date prior to the
enat tment, making the law retroactive
in part, and comes withinathe prohibi-
tion of the constitution already ,reclted.
Manifestly if Congress had, authority to
go back to January. 1894, 1t had equal
power to travel backward to JAN
uary. 1884, when an income tax
law was already in force to help
raise money to carry on the war. or even
20 back to the origin of the government.
The principle involved is, therefore. n
moustrosity, and it seems amazing that
Congress did not so regard it, and the
President veto it. As matter of princi-
pie, that body has the same authority to
declare to be penal and criminal acts
which at the time they occurred were
innocent and constituted no offense. For
illustration, suppose Congress should
undertake to pass a law prohibiting the
sale of certain articles, and annex pen
atty of fine or imprisonment or boths4o
the offender, merchandising in which
occurred anterior to the enactment, and
dealing openly and freely in which at
the time were perfectly legitimate, sell

of their sales was not sol The principle
involved in the provision of the income
}taxfla to which attention is called is
wholly at war with the constitution and
with common sense. In this view
should payment of the income tax be en-
forced, prior to the decision as to its
constitutionality, payment should be
made under protest, GEE.
