why he wept Being ashamed to

WIPES OUT THE WHOLE LAW.
Nothing Left Of tho Income Tax, whisi
Must he Refunded.

Nothing Left Of tho Income Tax, Which
Must he Refunded.
The decision wipes out the whole law.
What money has been collected under it
must be refunded. The status of the court
was as follows: Against the law-Chief
Justice Fuller and Justices Field, Gray,
Brewer, and Shiras; for the law
justices Harlan, White. Brown, and
jackson. The conclusions, of the major
ity were these:
Il. We adhere to the opinion already
announced that taxes on real estate being
indisputably direct taxes, taxes on the
rents or income Of real estate are equally
direct taxes.
-. We are of the opinion that taxes on
personal property or on the income Of per.
sonal property are likewise direct taxes.
%. The tax imposed by sections % to
80 inclusive of the act Of 1894, SO far as it
falls on the income of real estate and on
personal property, being direct tax with.
in the meaning Of the constitution and
therefore unconstitutional and void, be-
cause not apportioned according to repre-
sentation, all those sections constituting
one entire scheme of taxation are neces-
sarily invalid. The DEGREES hereinbefore
entered in this court will be vacated
The DEGREES below will be reversed and
the cases rcmandc6 with instructions to
grant the relief prayed" The sections
referred TO are the ones that enact the in
come tax law; consequently, as said
above, the law IS wiped out.
The news of the opinion reached the
treasury DEPARTMENT very quickly. 1t
caused no surprise, and cannot truthfully
be said to have caused serious disappoint-
ment, for the law, as it was left BY the
former finding, was practically inopera-
tive in many particulars and would have
involved the revenue bureau of the treas
ury department in endless confusion and
litigation. The government officials
have been pretty fully advised of the
tenor of the opinion and were prepared
for it. As n revenue measure 1t was
spoiled a month ago. This decision mere
ly clarifies the air and relieves the govern
ment Of complication, embarrassment
and annoyances that would have surely
followed the attempted collection Of q
disputed and cloudy law.
The income tax Knockout leaves the ad.
ministratiOn free to igure on revenues
with the full knowlcdge that no help can
come from that quarter. 1t makes the
fact plain that the treasury deficit for the
fiscal year ending June 10 will be between
SIS, COO, 600 and $6O, Coo, UO. 1t also effect
uaiiy disposes Of all hopes Ut replenish-
ment from income taxation for next year
and confronts the administration with
the absolute and unsuitable necessity Of
revising the revenues laws SO rs to pro-
vide for not less than S75, 600, 600 increase
in annual incope.
The opinion Of the majority Of the
court was an argument direct to the
punt Of the whole matter-that the in
come tax was a direct tax and that a di.
rect tax could not be levied without ap-

Forthcoming IL between the states accord.
ing to population, something that was
not done in the law of 1894 The pith Of
the argument may be given in one para.
graph-'The constitution ordered affirm
atively that direct taxes should be appor-
tS.aed among the several states according
to numbers, and negatively that no di.
rect tax should be laid otherwise. The
founders anticipated that the expenses Of
ths federal government would chiefly be
met by indirect taxation. They knew
that the power to tax involved the power
to destroy" Tho opinion continued:
ut IL said that . tax on the whole in
come of property Is not direct tax, but q
duty. We do not think So. Direct taxa
ton was not restricted in one breath and
the restriction blown to the winds is an
other"
The majority offers . dose Of soothing
syrup Is 1t were, to the disappointed
statesmen who advocated the tar, In these
words: IF it be true that the constitu.
ton should have been so framed that q
tax of this kind could be laid, the instru.
ment defines the way for its amendment.
In no part Of it was greater sagacity dis
played. Except that no state. without its
consent, can b deprived Of its equal suf.

JUSTICE HARLAN APPREHENsIvE
Thinks thb.D0cision Strikes ut the Autho
isYaof the Government.


Thinks thssDscision Strikes ut the Author
tsylof the Government.
Justice Harlan, in his dissenting opin.
ion, after declaring generally against the
conclusions of the court, and promising
to file an opinion in extcnso later. said
that in his Judgment, to say nothing Of
former holdings of the court, the decision
might we'll excite very grave apprehen
sion in that it strikes at the authority Of
the government 20 protect itself in times
of great emergency. 1t Is a tendency to
return to the old system Of the time OF
the federation before the constitution
was adopted. Such q change menaced the
authority of the government, relieving rs
it does all the wealth of the country from
the operations of an income tax. Such o
decision could not have any other effect
than that of arousing such indignation
among the people that 1t would never be
repeated.
1t was q wicked assault upon the rights
of the people. He predicted that the de-
cision would provoke a contest such as the
country should have been spared. In con.
clusion Justice Harlan said, speaking OF
the decision of the court: such a result
is one to 10 deeply deplored. 1t cannot be
regarded otherwise than a disaster to the
country. The practical, If not the direct
effect of the decision today Is to give 10
certain kinds Of property q position of
favoritism and advantage that Is incon.
slstent with the fundamental principles
of our social organization, and to invest
them with power and influence that may
be perilous to that portion of the Ameri.
can people upon whom rests the larger
part of the burdens Of the government
and who ought not be subjected to the
domination of aggregated wealth any
more than the property of the country
should be at the mercy of the lawless."
Justice Jackson's view was given in an
elaborate opinion and was in favor of the
law, and declared the rule was that no act
of congress could be declared unconstitu
tional unless it was SO beyond q reasona-
BILE doubt, which was not SO in this case.
1.-The decision" he concluded, sis a disas-
ter, and must be regarded as q public
calamity" When Justice jackson fin
ished Justice Brown delivered q dissent
ing opinion. He held to the doctrine Of
stare decisis. Even a century OF error, he
said. may be pregnant with less OWL to the
state than a newly discovered truth. JUS
tice White followed Justice Brown, re.
enunciating the opinions expressed by
him when the case was first decided.
Internal Revenue Commissioner Miller
has telegraphed all collectors of internal
revenue to forward at once to his office
all income tax returns and everything

Bombardmsnt of Teng Chou-Arrival of
tho Yorktown.


Bombardmsnt Of Teug Ohou-Arrival of
tho Yorktown.
LONDON, Jan. 27.-A dispatch TO the
Times from Shanghai says that news of
the bombardment Of Teng Chou arrived
from the Chinese mission by way of
Che Foo. On the afternoon Of January
18th three Japanese men-of-war were
seen moving along the coast out
of range. Shots were fred at the
fort west Of Tong Chou. No no.
tioe was given of the bombardment
of the mission college. The residences
situated 200 yards north of the city wall
were in direct line OF the fire. 1t was
impossible to dismantle the fort without
touching the city. The Japanese res
tired in the evening, but returned
the following day and bombarded the
city from noon to A O'Clock. Four
shells fell in the city, some of them
around the mission premises, over which
the American flag foated. One of the
missionaries put off in boat waving an
American flag. He got close to the Jap.
anese ship but his hail was ignored, the
vessels steaming away.
The American warship Yorktown ar.
rived at Teng Chou on Sunday, and on
the following day took away several
foreigners. The other foreigners in the
city elected to remain. There was a
panic among the Chinese who were
leaving the city. A severe snowstorm
added to the confusion.
