SUPREME COURT RIDDLES THE INCOME TAX.

comes from real estate invalidates the
whole act; second, whether as to the
income from personal property as
such, the act is unconstitutional, as
laying direct taxes; third, whether any
part of the tax, if not considered as
direct tax, is invalid for want of uni
form1ty oneither of the grounds sug-
gested, the justices who heard the ar
guments are equally divided, and
threfore, no opinion is expressed
The result Is that the decree of the
circuit court is reversed, and the case
remanded with directions to enter a
decree in favor of complainant in re-
spect only of the voluntary payment
OF the tax on rents and incomes of it's
real estate. and that which it holds
In trust, and on the income from the
municipal bonds owned or so held by
it.
In the course of the decision the
chief justice referred at length to the
cases cited by the defense in justifica-
ton and support of the income tax, but
ne declared that in none of these cases
had the specific question of the power
or congress to tax rents and munich
pal bonds been passed upon, but only
by interference or incidentally; hence
the opinion of the court as now an
nounced, was not in opposition to pre-
V1ous rulings of that tribunal. Indeed,
he asserted, that from the time of the
decision in the Hylton case to that in
the time of the decision in the Springer
case, it had been uniformity conceded
that tax on land was in the nature
of direct tax, while as had been
shown, tax on land profits was the
same thing as tax on the land itself.

royal favor be conferred upon Hon.
Arthur Wellesley Peel, the retiring
speaker.
The chancellor of the exchequer, Will
lam Vernon Harcourt, in expressing the
thanks of the house for the services of
Sir Arthur Peel, paid a high tribute to
the zeal, ability and unremitting atten-
ton and firmness with which he had
maintained the privileges and dignity
of the house, and concluded with NOV
ing an address to her majesty, pray
ing that signal mark of royal favor
may be conferred upon the late speak
er. The motion was unanimously
adopted.
The parliamentary secretary of the
foreign office, Sir Edward Grey, reply
ing to a question on the subject, said
that the government had heard that
the ex-queen of Hawaii, Liliuokalani,
had been sentenced to Imprisonment,
but the matter was not one in which
Great Britain could interfere, nor were
there any grounds upon which Great
Britain could base representation on
the subject.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt intro
duced the local veto bill for public
houses. The bill, he said, provided that
poll should be taken on the request
of a tenth of the number of parochial
electors. Prohibitory resolutions
would be carried by a majority of two
thirds, and would come into effect 1st
of January ensuing, upon the expira-
ton of year from the date of the
poll. After three years the prohibitory
resolution might be repealed by a
simple majority instead of two-thirds.
The bill did not provide compensation,
but provided time limit when Ii
censes were extinguished. He pointed
out that in the United States the ques-
ton of compensation received no at
tentioE, licenses being simply refused.
The same system, he added, prevailed
in Sweden and Norway. Moreover, TO
compensation was given when Sun
day closing of the public houses was
introduced. Sir Edward Clark, Con-
servative, opposed the local veto bill,
objecting to the absence of compensa-
ton for losses sustained by the clos
ing of public houses If the measure
became law. The bill then passed it's

HERE'S TROUBLE FOR YOU.

But now comes the unpleasant
sequel. After having unanimously
adopted this gilded Endorsement of
the tariffs of the express companies
and declared their charges equitable
and just, the bill now pending pro-
poses to place the express companies
under the control of the railroad
commission, which is, itself, under
the control of the legislature This
having been done, let it be supposed
that some aggrfeved citizen goes be-
fore the railroad commission with
a complaint of an overcharge. The
commission looks the matter up,
finds that the charge made is upon
the very schedule which was de-
clared by the Foss committee and
the house to be just and equitable.
The citizen will hardly expect the
commission to reverse the rulings of
the superior court, or in other words
to set aside the findings of the body
to which it is accountable for it's
own actions.
Senator Miller, the author of the
pending bill, is credited with the
most unbending honesty of purpose,
and his bill, if coming before the
house under other circumstances,
would command unquestioned sup
port, but with the Foss report STAR
ing them in the face on the one hand,
and the railroad commission waiting
to receive the cOmpanies on the ofb
er, there are many members of the
house who will peremptorily refuse
to support the bill.
Il will never support that bill as
long as the report of the Foss COM
mittee is a part of the house rec
ord" said member last night,
whose name has been connected with
every commendable piece of Iegis-
lation of this and the last legislature,
and his determination is shared by

BILLS PASSED YESTERDAY,

Bill Killed.

There Is a prospect of a beautiful
hight in the house when the Miller
express company bill comes before
that body for action, which it prob
ably will in the course of a day or
two. And thereby hangs a tale.
Early in the session Representative
Foss, No. 1 hard statesman from
Grant county, and a Republican re-
former of great pretensions. intro
duced a resolution demanding an
investigation into the matter of
charges for the carriage of express
matter. The resolution was adopt-
ed, and the speaker appointed Mr..
FoSs chairman of the committee.

faithful Republicans to support him
in his mission, the house, as usual.
delegating to the committee the au-
thority to demand papers, summon
witnesses and perform such other
acts of authority as seemed to them
wise and advisable.
The committee had several meet
ings, listened patiently to the ar
guments of aggrieved persons and
the briefs of counsel, and at last
submitted repoM. 1t was the gem
of the session. According to it, the
express companies of the state
charged no more than was Just and
proper, they were under an admir-
able system of. government, and, in
short, approached about as near
perfection as anything could out
side-o of Republican platform. The
committee had. only found in its i'm
dustrious search for evils in the sys-'
tenn one instance in which an over
charge had been made, and in this
instance investigdt ton disclosed the
fact that the shipper himself was to
blame, having boxed his consign-
ment in such a clumsy manner as
to render it difficult of tyansporta-
tion. The report closed with a glow
ing tribute to the admirable system
in vogue in the express business.
and with tears of regret streaming
down their cheeks at the thought
that they had ever entertained a
harsh suspicion of these public ben
efactors, the members of the house
adopted the report of the commit
tee and proceeded with other busi-
ness.
The cost of the investigation $50
far as the state was concerned) was
only $3.50, and Mr.. Foss was literally
congratulated upon having conduct
ed an investigation which was SO
inexpensive-to the state.

LITIGATION WITHOUT END
Sure to Result Because Of the
Divided Condition Of the
Court.

WASHINGTON, April S.-The
treasury officials are greatly dis
turbed over the supreme courts de-
cision in the income tax case, and
while admitting that they have no
an accurate estimate, they express
the belief that the net result of
the decision will be loss of at
least so per cent in the receipts from
incomes. In some cities the loss
will be far greater than in the city
of Washington, where the loss is
expected to reach rs per cent.
Washington, however, is ex-
ceptionally a renting city. The
proportion of rented houses in other
cities of the country also is very
large. In 1890 the rented houses in
New York city We're nearly "a per
cent of the whole. In Boston it was
81 per cent; in Brooklyn 81; in Gin
cinnati so and in Jersey City 81. In
the other large cities the percent
ages ranged down to 56 at Roches-
ter. In New York city there were
292,956 rented houses; in Philadel-
phia 157, ,80S; in Chicago 56,566; in
Brooklyn 139,040. The total num-
Der of rented houses in the United
States in 1890 was 1,12O,4S7, which
during the last five years has un-
doubtedly increased very material
ly. Dwelling houses, however, re-
present only small part of the

year, and this is expected to Increase
