south Dakota Has q Sweeping Law ON the
Subject.
SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., April S.AAfter
the middle Of June, at which time the
law prohibiting prize fighting passed
by the recent Legislature will go into
effect, it will be very difficult for news
papers both inside and outside Of this
this state to get any information con-
corning prize fights to be pulled off in
this state, although it is very likelysnone
will be pulled off, owing to the very strict
law. The correspondent who sends
out a notice OF Il challenge or of a fight
comes under the head OF thoe who
shall BE- confined in the county Jail
not exceeding six months and fined not
exceeding $500" The participation in
the fight shall be imprisoned in the
p~enitentiary not less than one or more
than 10 years" Those who attend a
fight as spectators are liable to heavy
fines and newspapers who publish
challenges or other notices relating
thereto are likewise under the ban.

NEITHER AFFIRM OR DENY.

No Confirmation of the Tribun Dispatch
Can BE Obtained.
WASHINGTON, April S.-The attention
of several members Of the cabinet was
called to the dispatch from Chica 20,
giving the substance of the Chicago
Tribune's publication concerning the
supreme court decision on the income
tax case, but they declined to express
any opinion thereon, on the ground that
it would be manifestly improper t.
discuss any opinion of the court until
at least it had been officially
promulgated. From another, but an
entirely authentic source, it is learned
that whatever the decision of the court
may be, tho president will not call an
extra session of congress, and even
should the decision declare the law
wholly unconstitutional. the president
would adhere to his determination not
to call congress together any sooner.
All efforts t. secure from members of
the supreme court either authoritative
confirmation or denial Of the truth of
the Chicago publication proved unavail-
ing,

INCOME FAX DECISION
Chicago Paper Publishes What
Purports to Be an Out
line of 1t.
is ONLY PARTIALLY LEGAL
Taxation Of Rents, State and
Municipal Bonds Uncon-
StitutiOnal.

CHICAGO, April GA special dispatch
to The Tribune from Washington, says:
The United States supreme court in the
income tax case, has reversed the de-
| cision Of the lower court, but the in.
come tax law as a whole is upaeld, but
only by a divided court. Two import
ant portions Of the law, however, have
been decided to be unconstitutional,
and they are so serious as to effect ma
terially not only the revenues OF the
government, but the estimation in
which the income tax will be held by
the people.
Rents, State and City Bonds Exempt.
Under the decision to be handed down
by the court, all incomes derived from
rents are exempted from taxation by the
| federal government, and all Incomes
derived from state and municipal bonds
are similarly exempted. In other re-
spects the income tax law stands as it
was passed last August, but the result
Of the consultations i'll the supreme
! court shows very conclusively that
| the law can be easily picked to pieces,
provided suits are brought to contest
each particular point that IN up.
A Curious Fact.
1! is a curious fact, but none the less
trus, that the law which was passed at
the dictation of the Populistic wing OF
a Democratic congress has been dis
torted by the decision of TIE United
| State 9 supreme court, clearly on consti-
tut;ol al grounds, in such a way that 1t
will absolutely protect the class of cap
~italists most offensive to the Populistic
element.
The landlords of the country will pay
no income tax. The owners OF bonds
of almost any kind. either federal,
state, county or municipal, will
also be free, while the business man,
the manufacturer and the salaried em-
ploye, will for the present, at least, be
compelled to contribute to the treasury
of the United State government 2 per
cent of all income in excess OF $4,000
per annum.
The first meeting of the supreme
court was held March IL, two days
after the conclusion of the arguments,
but no decision was reached, and it was
not until Match 30 that they succeeded
in agreeing upon the outlines of a de-
cision, covering the opinion Of the lower
court.
Court Evenly Divided.
The court was evenly divided, Justice
Jackson being tool i'll to take part. Justice
Fuller, Justices Field, Gray and Brewer
were opposed to the law. Justices Har-
! lar, Brown, Shiras and White voted to
sustain the law. The expectation among
members of the court is that the
decision will be rendered on Monday
in open court, but there is a
bare possibility that the court may
again be split up into irreconcilable
sections, and hold up the decision. II
the next congress does not repeal the
law with the sanction of the president
| there will be a sudden rise in the price
of all local public securities, as well as
of all real estate, for, as they will be
exempted from taxation, they ought to
get the benefit Of the ? per cent which
other income producers are obliged to
account o..

Of note. In the first place the work on
the papers, even though written in the
excitement of an examination, Is neat,
methodically arranged and thoughtfully
stated. But the most striking feature OF
the papers to a newspaper man who ap-
preciates legible manuscript is the dis
tinctness of the writing. All papers are
written in a plain, vertical script, which
is something new in that art. We under,
stand the vertical system of ~penmanship
was introduced into our schools some

are fair averages of results, the legibiiity
OF the writing is far superior to that
taught under the Spencerian system and
ought to be followed up.

port whether such orders had been re-
