THE DISSENTING OPINIONS.

Considering the source from which they
come, the dissenting opinions of Justices
Harlan, White, Jackson and Brown on the
income tax cases afford curious reading.
One expects from the Supreme Court only
declarations OF the scope, meaning and in
tent of the law, but these Justices in dis
senting from the majority of the court
have seen fit to give US politics. They ap-
pear to have considered the question under
any aspect rather than that of the law and
to have written opinions not upon what
the constitution affirms, but upon what in
their judgment it ought to affirm.
justice Harlan included among his OBJ
jectlons to the decision the fact that in de-
claring the income tax to be void it would
deprive the country of large revenue and
defeat the purpose of Congress in enacting
the Wilson tariff. He also thought the de-
cision would seriously hamper the Govern
ment hereafter in case we should have a
war. and moreover that it gives to certain
kinds Of property position of favoritism
Justice Jackson objected that the decis-
ion relieves citizens having the greatest
ability, while the burdens of taxation fall
most heavily and oppressively upon those
having the least ability. Justice Brown
asserted the decision involves the surren-
der of the taxing power to the money class
and expressed the hope that sit may not
prove the first step toward submerging the
liberties of the people in sordid despot-
ism of wealth" Justice White expressed
similar opinions and rested his objections
to the decision on the same grounds as his
dissenting colleagues.
If these utterances had come from stump
speakers little or no attention would be
paid to them. They cannot be overlooked,
however, when they come from members
of the Supreme Court, and they are sure to
excite no little adverse comment from all
citizens who believe our constitution is
just and who are in favor of preserving it
as it is. The assertions of an inequality in
our system of taxation, of the exemptions
of the itch from public burdens, of the
power of wealth to control the Govern
ment, and of danger to the liberties of the
people through defeat of the income tax,
are more like the harangues of demagogues
than the grave utterances of men whom
the people delight to regard as the wise
and just guardians of the dignity of the
law.
Even if it were true, as Justice Harlan
said, that "if the decision is justified by
the fundamental law, the American people
cannot too soon amend their constitution,
he would have done better to leave that
consideration to the politicians. The Su-
preme Court has nothing to do with amend
ing the constitution. The duty of the
court is fulfilled when the intent of the
constitution is declared and its effect upon
the point at issue made known. The in
come tax has been an abomination in every
way. 1t was an offense to the people from
the start. 1t has left an evil trail over
every department of the Government that
has had anything to do with it, and it now

A SAN DIEGO ROAD.

The prospect for the building of rail
road from Cedar City, Utah, to the Needles
seems safe. It is small affair thus far,
even though it presents an opening for the
iron of Iron County into the market of
California; but it is in the promise that,
instead of stopping at the Needles and
then connecting with the Santa Fe system,
it will be extended to San Diego southwark
and Salt Lake northward, that the brighter
prospect lies.

An Oregon paper says that "there are too
many laws passed at each session of the Legis-

trouble. The difficulty lies in the fact that
the laws are drawn by the lobbyists instead of
by the men whom the people elect for that pur
pose.-Los Angeles Record.
1t would be, in the long run, worth while to

freely for the last twenty years in California

The world is calling loudly calling for more

opportunity to come up to the standard of this
demand.-Cloverdale Reveille.
We would like to see the waters of the Merced

wish to keep up with progress it is about time
that we are taking advantage of the power
which is within our reach.-Merced Express.

William M. Houser, superintendent OF the
blood horses at the Vina ranch, is down with
some horses belonging to the Stanford estate
that are to be auctioned off this week here The
profits of the Vina ranch go toward the sup
port OF the university at Palo Alto, and Mr..
Houser thinks that good sum will be realized
this year-much more than ever before.
"The profits until year or two ago were very
small, he said last night at the Grand, "as SO
much money was used in making improve
ments. Now everything is in good shape and
the prospects are that there will be very good
crops this year. Then the ranch is being man.
aged very economically and undoubtedly the
profits will be much larger than ever before.
They have new man at the head of the winery
department. and more wine-dry wines princi-
pally-will be made.
"Yes, 1t is an immense ranch-some Sc, 600
acres. In the way of stock alone there are
about 0000 sheep, 200 well-bred horses, about
twice as many work horses and 1900 head oi
cattle, mostly Holsteins.
"They raise more fine cattle of this breed
than anywhere else in the State and they are
OF as fine stock as could be obtained. The herd
was started with premium winners from the
East and Europe, some of whom cost $500 or
$1,000 apiece. For those that are sold the prices
obtained vary from 500 to $500 or $4OO each.
The farmers, even the small farmers, ell over
the State are beginning to take great interest
in improving their cattle. The Holsteins they
get from the ranch are used for crossing with
the domestic animals and improving the breed.
There is good profit in well-bred cattle in this
State"
