TEXT OF THE DECISION.

The anxious'y awaited decis on Oh 'ne
United States Supreme Court in the lncomo-
tax suit was render by Chief Justice fuiier'
The court defeated the purposes OF Inc Ia"
so far "a II taxed incomes derived from rents
and also from State, county and municlpa'
bonds. By tie vote Of the court the law
was sustained in other respects.
The courts opinion was as follows:
IN Chare, Pollock ys. the Farmers Loan
and Trust Company ct al
It Is establl he'd
First-That by the constitution iederai TAX
alton is vded Into two great cIas'es-ui-
rect take, and duties, imposts and exclses
second-TAat the imposition OF dire taxes
Is governed by the rule OF appoItionment
among the several cia.es, acc riding TO NAM
bers and the impositlon OF duties, imports
and excises by the rule OF uniformity through
out the United State'
Third-That the principle that taxation
and representation SO together was intendeu
10 be- and was preserved in the constitution
by the establishment Of the rule OF appor-
tionment among the several Safes so tnat
such appcrtionment should be according 70
numbers in each State.
Fourth-That the States surrende ed cir
powe to levy imposis and TO regulate COM
mercc 10 the gene al government, an gave
It the concurrent power to levy direct lakes
In reliance on the protection ff)rdel by the
rules prescribed, aud hat the compr misses
of the constitution cannot be disturbed y

Flve-That these conclusions result FROM
the text of the constitution and are sup orle
bv the historical evidence furnished by the
circumstances surr undiny the framing and
odoption OF hat instrument and the views
o. those who framed lopted it.
Sixth-That the understanding AMI expec-
totion at the tine OF the adoption OF the con-
stitution was tnat direct taxes would not lie

der the pressure Of extraordinary exl; ;ency.
and such has been the pIact ce dCwa 10

CHAPTER IL.
TWO BROTHERS.

While these things were 0, curing In
Mrs. Warringham's boudoir, Dr. Ralph
Warringham was sitting in his study.
The window near which he sat was open
and fragrant breeze from the garden
mingled with the perfumes of his
havana. The book VIII ch he tried
to persuade himself he was reading lay
OH his knees, while his eyes rarely
glanced over its lines, but oftener fol-
lowed the blue ours of. cigar smoke as
they vanished in the distance, There
was an expression of contentment upon
the young mans face, and sometimes a
faint smi for an instant moved the
corners of his mouth.
Ralph Warringham was happy.

PART ILLEGAL.
Decision Of the Supreme Bench
in Income Cases.
2 SECTIONS TURNED down.
These Relate to Incomes DeriVe"
from Rent, State, County ana
Municipal Bonds-There
Was Great Interest
in the Decision.

Not since the days when great political
ques ions were before the Supreme Co"r.
has there been such public interest," dispiayeu
as with reference to the income-tax oeciSion'
The courtroom was crowded most literal
" to suffocation with lawyers, politic'anS'
and public officials. The action OF the cour'
did not come In the nature OF any great sur
prise. for although the treasury oillcia''
have s.outly clung to the hope thai Inc
tax would be upheld in Its entirely Las
been the general impression oil o'ners 'ua'
the tax. Il 1t was not ait ogether knocked OUT,
would a. least g It very bad black eye. II
was developed, as the chief justice got in'o
the mid lie OF his opinion, that the rumorS'
aAoat in the last few days as to the decision
were substan tally we'll founded. Inc es'
sence OF the decision eliminates rom ING
taxable list all incomes derived from ren's,
AMI from State, county and mun'cip"i
bonds. This cuts off at one DOW III ~

the income tax. Toe New Y>rk Astors,
whose millions OF income are derived almost

tax they will be called upon to pay.
THE TAXATION OF INCOMES
But while tho court by Its equal dlVision
upon the other questions involved 'aiis "
nronounce unconstitu ional the other pro-
visions for axing incomes, tho effect cannot
fail to work very disast ously to the enec i'o
working OF the m 'asure. This Is fully rec'g-

stances, have ALREADY handed in 'heir re-
