DECISION ON THE INCOME TAX
Doom of q Law Which Is OdiOus to- the
People.

The constitutionality of the income
two grounds One that it was direct
tax and must be levied on the basis of
population. The other was that if it
was not a direct tax it was not uniform
in its operation because of the various
exemptions 1t was claimed also that
that portion of the law collecting tax
on Incomes from rents was uncOnstitu-
tional because, as no tax except di-
rec: one could be levied on real estate,
the T-turns from real estate came
under the same category. 1t was
claimed also that the taxation of the
income derived from state, county or
municipal bonds was as unconstitution-
al as it would be to tax the revenues of
state or a municipality, for such
bonds are instrumentalities for carry
ing on a government. If the general
government can tax state bonds at all
it can tax them TO death, and thus Grip
pie the state government. AS the lat
ter must not tax the bonds of the
former the former must not tax those
of the latter.
On the general question of the con-
stitutionality of an income tax the court
at first was evenly divided, Justice
Jackson being sick and absent. With
this division politics had nothing to do.
Two republicans = Gray and Brewer
and two democrats - the chief
justice and Justice Field - deemed
the law unconstitutional. The 9TH
ers, one of whom is a democrat -
White-believed that congress had a
right to impose an income tax, but
deemed some of the features of the
law unconstitutional.
Hence compromise sustaining the
principle of the law but holding that
neither income from real estate nor
that from state, county and municipal
bonds can be taxed. This simply in
tensifies the inequality Of the law. 1t
weighed but slightly on the south be-
fore. 1t weighs upon it still less now,
for the incomes of the large planters

are exempt The burden Of taxation
Is thrown ON the salsried and profess
sional classes, on the manufacturing
establishments, upon the banks and
the railroads, and upon capital which
cannot be invested in exempt bonds
1t is easy to perceive that such a dis
elimination as this will be fatal to the
continued existence of the law. The
injustice of taxing the income from a
hundred thousand dollars invested in
manufacturing and not taxing the in
come from the same sum invested in
productive city or country property is
too glaring to be overlooked by the
next congress To what extent the
receipts from the tax will be affected
by this sweeping exemption cannot be
estimated, but it certainly will cut
heavily into the receipts.
A majority having agreed that the
law was unconstitutional in two re-
spects, it was decided, five to three,
that the taxation of rents could be de-
clared unconstitutional without inter
fering with the constitutionality of the
law as a whole. Chief Justice Fuller's
vote did that. And in that way a
statute which half the court thought
was wholly wrong, and most of the
other half thought was wrong in part,
was saved in part. 1t is evident that
such a statute cannot be sustained
before the people. Even the popu-
lists will not take so much of an in
terest in it when they see that the
great owners of real estate-the ''alien
landlords" included-are exempt from
taxation. Evidently a law is doomed
which is odious to the people and
whose cOnstitutiOnality is denied by
the ablest members of the supreme
court.
But the law having been sustained
to this extent, the treasury depart
ment will proceed to get out new set
of blanks, and do the best it can under
what is left of the law. By July it
will be possible to tell how much rev
enue can be derived from 1t in its
manned state, and whether it will be
necessary for the government to turn
10 other sources for money.-Chicago

~
pointment by wire. Judge Horizons
resignation takes effect April 80.
The resignation of Judge Horton IS
not a surprise. 1t has been talked
about in legal circles for two years
The gossips have it that Judge Horton
wanted to leave the bench about the
time the Lewelling administration
went into effect, but remained to pre-
vent the appointment of pOpulist to
succeed him, as such an appointment
would have made a populist court.
That's what the populist party wanted
above everything else. But Judge
Horton held on until the republicans
got back into power, so that ne might
be succeeded by one of his own party
political faith.
Judge Horton has been chief justice
of the supreme court since January l,
1877. His third term. which Judge
Martin has been called upon to fill,
will expire January. 1885, Judge
Horton has made a national reputa-
ton as jurist and the announcement
that he will resume the practice Of his
profession will doubtless De read with

HYPNOTISM.
Chief Justice Horton Explains the Case In
Which 1t Figured.

TOPEKA Kan, April l2.-In al inter
view yesterday Chief Justice Horton,
If the Kansas supreme court. explains
away the general acceptation that the
court has recognized hypnotism as a
defensive plea in murder case. The
facts in the case are these: A man
named Gray procured 4 gun and in
cited man named Mcdonald to kill
Patton. Gray made Mcdonald believe
that Patton was traducing the char
acter of Mrs. Mcdonald. McDonald,
who did the killing, was acquitted.
Gray was convicted in the lower court,
and the supreme court affirmed the de-
cision. The case was known far and
wide as the hypnotic case. Judge
Horton says: The Mcdonald case was
not presented to the supreme court.
If it had been and the same evidence
presented to US against Gray had been
presented against Mcdonald, the su-
preme court. had it the power, would
have ruled for McDonald's conviction.
The acquittal of Mcdonald seems to
have been miscarriage of Justice"
