James f. Oyster: II am glad the court
decided against the law-not that am not
willing to support the government, but the
law did not distribute burdens evenly. I
hope the revenue will increase and that
there will be no need of an income tax
MIR. Bnyley.
Mr.. Bayley of the firm of John T. Ellis &

as a measure Of necessity, but there We're

wrong and we are satisfied to have it over

NJ. Goldsmith.
NJ. Goldsmith of Goldsmith & Son, Jewell
ers, said: 1T may disappoint the country,
but the law, as left by the first decision Of
the Supreme Court, would have burdened
all the poor and exempted the rich. 1t is a
good thing the law is not to stay"
Edward Droop, jr.
Edward Droop. jr., speaking for the house
Of which his father has for many years
been the head, said: I'VE were personally
opposed to the law. not much because
it was an income tax, but because it did
not work equitably. For instance, here we
were asked to include in our returns a
Large amount of installment business, some
of which would not be money in hand for
three years yet. We are glad the court
held the law to be unconstitutional. Yet If
just and equitable law can be devised we
should be glad of that also

theoretically" said Mr.. VIM F. Mat
tingly. "if we lived in Ethiopia, where
every ono is disposed to do what is right
and just and proper. the income tax would
be all right. But we do not live In such an
age, and the income tax is, therefore, all
wrong. There is undoubtedly a feeling
throughout the country that it would be
right and proper, but the act was the result
of yielding to an agrarian purpose large
ly prevailing at the time of its passage,
and for that reason alone 1t Ia a good
thing that the law was declared unconsti-
tutional. There are innumerable other
ways of raising revenue which would not
be Objectionable to the people. The law,
too. would have been productive of per-

Harry RRpuey.
Mr.. Harry Rapley said that in his opinion
the income tax was an attempt at class

Isador saks of Saks & Co.: 81 guess we

the first decision. which you remember ex-
empted rents &C.. from the provisions of
the tax. the last decision will have a good
effect Many people, save the rich, when
the first decision was announced, believed
1t a great hardship. I think all are salts

N. StrasbUrger.
NJ. Strasburger of the Family Shoe Store
was enthusiastic over the defeat Of the in
come tax. To reporter of The Star this
morning ho said:
1.-The people of this country are to be
congratulated over the decision of the Su-
preme Court which wipes the income tax
from the statute book. 1t was never popu-
lar with the masses, and after the first
decision became so utterly unjust that its
absolute repeal was certain. The immediate

A. & H. Mayer of the Bon Marche said
they believed now that the income tax had
been declared unconstitutional that bust

Parker, bridget & Co.
Parker. Bridget & Co.: THE action Of the
Supreme Court in annulling the income tax
was wise. When the different features of
tho law studied in connection with the
first decision. which exempted certain in

manifest. The repeal of the law will ma

NJ. Metxger.
NJ. Metzger of the M. Metzger Company,
grocers: 'I think the merchants through
out the country are glad the income tax
is no more. When the subject was first
discussed in Congress of taxing Incomes, I
was opposed to 1t. Such laws are not

The repeal Of the law will be manifested

James Lansburgh Of the firm OF Lans-
