Editor Banner: Our community
was enlivened last evening by an en-
.tertainment given by Prof. Taylors
school.
: Although the evening was cool, a
large crowd had assembled at the
beginning of tho performance, and
still they came until a late hour. Not
only this but the surrounding COM
munities were well represented.
The opening exercises began with
march by the school, followed by
Rotations from the little ones, their
dialogues charades and last some side
splitting Ja1ces.
Some of the little folks, as VILE as
the larger ones, deserve especial m en-
ton, but time forbids.
The characters in the humorous
plays we're well supported, and judg-
ing from the peals of laughter that
burst from the crowd they were
highly enjoyed.
The event and artistic arrangement
OF the stage, reflect much credit on
frof. Taylor and his assistant, Miss
Rosa Elston. x.

Arguing ON the Income Tax Case.
Many Spectators.

Washington, March s.-There was an
unusual attendance of spectators in the
supreme court OF the United States to-
day when the court adjourned. MIR.
Guthrie resumed his argument for the
appellants in the income tax cases. He
took up the case where he left off yes
terday, discussing the bearing OF the
fifth amendment to the constitutional
provisions. Referring to the fifth con-
stitutlunal amendment, he said It's pro-
vision mat no person should be de-
prived OF life, liberty or property With
out due process of law had been made
for the protection Of the people against
undue entertainments. He contended
that any law which would impose
tax on one class of people and not ON
another was In direct contradiction OF
this amendment. He then returned to
the question of taxation of corporations
in different way from which ndivid-
uals were taxed, and SAID this was the
point OF transcendant Importance in
the case, reasserting the property OF
any corporation was the property OF
the individuals composing II.
He asserted that II congress was per-
mitted to discriminate against corpor-
ations as to the income law they would
virtually have the power to nullify the
IlSHl Ol stdleS 10 create Corporations.
Mr.. Seward followed, speaking in be-
half of the appellants. He argued
against the constitutionallty Of the in
come tax. He devoted himself to the
discussion OF the question as to wheth-
er the tax was direct tax, and argued
that If It was, 1t must, under the pro-
vision of the constitution, be apportion-
ed according to population.
Mr.. Seward was discussing the ques-
tion of appointment when Chief
Justice Fuller interposed with the
qeustiOn
Suppose there is n sufficient
amount arising from the taxation Of
incomes OF over $4,000 to meet the re-
quirements OF a given state?'
at could be done" replied Mr. Sew
ard, ION the basis of population.
which is the only thing to be appor-
toned"
Mr., Seward closed Just before 3
o'clock.
Assistant Attorney-General Whitney
then presented the outline Of the gov
ernment's case.
Mr.. Whitney had not concluded
when the court adjourned at o'clock
until Monday,
