Con. Mac orkle,s statement.

CHARLESTON, W. VA, May l7.-There
has been a great amount of sensational mat
ter sent out from this State at various times
relative to the coal miners strike in the Elk
horn region. In order to counteract the bad
effect created by false reports Governor Mac
Corkle, who is in close touch with the op-
e~rations in the strike region, has given out
for publication the following:
"The false statements published does the
West Virginia miners great injustice. Not
a shot has been fred by any West Virginia
miner, nor by any other miner and not a
breach of the peace has occurred. Nothing
has been done by any West Virginia work
ingman to warrant the suspicion that they
intend to do anything more than peacefully
strike. The reports were sent out by inter-
ested parties for a purpose and the motive is
well known. Most of the newspaper reports
from that section have been utterly mislead-
ing and highly colored, intended for the pur-
pose of influencing public opinion. The
| four or five Shots fred one day were not fired
by any miner, and are now known to have
been arranged for by other parties. 1t is
absolute and utter nonsense to attempt to
dignity the proceedings in that section by
any suspicious of danger to the peace OF the
State.
81 am thoroughly familiar with the situa-
ton, and, without discussing the cause of
the strike, will say that in my knowledge no
strike in this country has ever been conduct
ed by the workingnen in so peaceful and
law-abiding a manner, and the continued
imputation that West Virginia miners are
breaking the peace aud invading another
State with riotous intention is disgusting to
all who know the true situation. When the
first highly colored reports came to this Of
fee every arrangement was. made by me to
vigorously preserve the peace and prevent
any lawlessness. / would do so at any and
every hazard. My views on this point are
we'll known, but the attempt to make the
world believe that our law-abiding people
are armed rioters and that a peaceful strike
is a turbulent Instruction, breaking the
peace of our own State as well as others, is
fraught with too much injury to our mate.
rial interests to be borne in silence. This
statement is confirmed by the sheriffs of the
counties, by my own representative. on the
ground and by the superintendent of the
railroad. The latter for a week hes wired
me daily, saying that everything is quiet in
that section, and such has been the contin-
ued direction of all correct information from
that field. make this statement in order
that simple justice may BIO done our people,"

Income Tar Unconstitutional.

The income tax law is a thing Of the past.
After being twice heard ia the United States
Supreme Court it was finally decided on
Monday BY that court to be invalid and un-
constitutional. There we're four dissenting
opinions delivered in these cases, one each
by Justices Harlan, White, Brown and
Jackson, showing that the court had stood
FIVE 10 four against the law. Inasmuch as
one Of these dissenting opinions was hand
ed down by Justice Jackson, and he was
absent at the first hearing when the court
divided evenly on b equestion Of sustaining
the law on all except those as TO the tax on
incomes from rents and bonds, it follows
that one Of the members of the court who
at first pronounced for the law except on
those two points changed his attitude after
the second argument. There is very little
question that Justice Shiras is the member
who revised his views Of the law. He, how
ever, made no announcement either Monday
or when the first opinion was delivered as
to his position. The conclusions Of the
court were as follows
First-We adhere to the opinion already
announced that taxes on real estate being
~undisputably direct taxes, taxes on the rents
or income Of real estate are equally direct
taxes.
Second-We are of opinion that taxes on
personal property or on the income of per-
sonal property are likewise direct taxes.
Third-The tax imposed by sections p to
81, inclusive, Of the act Of 1894, so far as it
falls on the income of real estate and on
personal property, being a direct tax within
the meaning of the constitution, and there
fore unconstitutional and void because not
apportioned according to representation, al
those sections constituting one entire scheme
Of taxation are necessarily invalid.
The DEGREES %hereiDbefore entered in this
court will be vacated, the DEGREES below will
be reversed and the cases remanded with in
structions to grant the relief prayed.
Sections q to 81 of the tariff act Of 1894,
referred 20 in the conclusions of the court
in the opinions, are all the sections of the
act relating to the income tax, so that the
entire income tax law is declared void spe-
officially.
