OF thc case on its merits lie said that
The power 20 decide a law unconsttu-

responsibility could not be evaded when
The necessity arose. The contentious Ie-
speeding this law were:
o. That a tax or rents was 4 tax on
real estate. and that not being laid ac-

90 'fnat IL WAS not uniform, and was.
therefore. violation OF the c-nstitu-
t'oual requirement that such taxes shall

came the exceptions in favor Of those per
sons who were not in possession OF an
income Of 81 800. aud OF mutual insurance
companies. savings hanks. and partner
ships. all organized for and doing the
same business As that Of corporations

essential 10 the validity OF any tax. They
had just come out Of conflict upon
the great principle Of taxation without
representation. and they were intended TO
90 together-that Congress should so i'm

force and effect upon all Of the con-

Justice White prefacei his dissenting
opinion with the statement that the
