prisonment and his (Bray'9 deportation.

partment in the event that it is decided to
take action in Mr. Bray's case. Mr.. Uhl
declined to give to the press anything con-
corning the matter further than the fact

at some length.
He said this decision was significant, ard
meant that virtually all incomes could he
taxed. Mr.. Harlan said he would later file
an opinion giving his views in detail, and
his views as now presented would be of
very general character. Capitation taxes
and taxes on land he conceded should be
considered as direct, and they had been
uniformly held to be. He quoted from the
views of Justices Iredsll, Patterson, and
others, on the operation of constitution al
provision as to apportionme1t, holding that
the rule should be consulted only when it
could be reasonably applied.
The changes contemplated from the for
mer practice In this matter, Justice Har-
Ian said were little less than revelation.
Everyone conceded that the decisions in
former cases would have been the same as
they were If there had been no reference
In the Constitution to direct taxes. He
held the tax on rents to be a duty on
something entirely distinct from the tax
on land, from which the rent was collected.
He combated the idea that rents were
levy of land. in view of the fact that the
present law was to continue in operation
for Only five years. A tax on the land is
generally a lien on land, while that on
rents is not. In its essence tax on rents
Is tax on money where the tax is payable
in money. He said that the present de-
cision was a step in advance of it's former
decision, and said, incidentally, that the
present conclusion had been reached by
bare majority. In his judgment, to say
nothing of former holdings of the court,
the decision might well excite very grave
apprehension in that it strikes at the au-
thority of the government to protect itself
IN times of great emergency. 1t is a tend
ency to return to the old system of the
time of federation, before the Constitution
was adopted. Such change menaced the
authority of the government. relieving. as
1t does. all the wealth of the country to the
operations of an income tax. Such de-
cision could not haFe any other effect than
that of arousing such Indignation among
the free men of the people that it would
never be repeated. 1t was a wicked as

a binding decision when rendered.
Brief History of the Cases.
A Justice of the court when asked the
other day which he considered the most
important case that had been before the
court since he had been on the bench, re-
Piled without hesitation that he regarded
the income tax cases in that light. Inc
cases have certainly attracted far more at
tention from the bar, from legislators, from
the press and from the general public than
any case since the war. They have received
far more consideration from the court than
any other case within the memory OF those
who have been about the court for the
present generation. They have been twice
argued by the most distinguished counsel
in the country and on both occasions coun-
sci were practically allowed to NIX the
length of their arguments Ihe nrst arg .t
meat was heard on the 7th, Sth, 18th. Eth
and 18th of March, and the second on the
9th. 7th and Sth of May. The first decision
was rendered on the Sth Of April, and re
suited in sustaining the law by divided
court in all it's features, except as TO the
incomes from rents and municipal state
and county bonds.
The counsel for the appellants In the
cases of Messrs. Hyde and Pollock i'm
mediately asked for a rehearlng on the
DO nts ON which the court divided, which
was granted, and Justice jackson. who had
Ice n absent from the first hearing on ac-
count Of Illness, came on from his home In
Ternessee to participate in the considera-
tion of the cases, SO as to render the re-
suit final. The counsel who argued the
cases for the opponents of the law included
Mr.. w. D. Guthrie. Clarence S. Seward,
ex-senator Edmunds and Jos. II. Choate,
and fer the government, Assistant Attor-
ley General Whitney, Attorney General
Olney; Mr.. James c. Carter Of New York
