THE INCOME TAX CASE
Speculation Regarding the Proposed Rehearing
of the 1atter

WASHINGTON, May Sit is not
known what time will be given to the
argumenG of the income tax cases which
are to be begun in the supreme court next
week. The order of the court granting
the rehearing did not specify as to time,
and the chief justice is quoted as having
said since the order was made that the
argument would be at length. On the first
argument about twelve hours time,
equivalent to three supreme court days,
were given the subject Then three at
torneys were heard on each side. The
chief Justices order in the present in
stance provided for the hearing of only
two counsel on each side. 1t is therefore
probable the argument will be extended
over at least two days, and il is possible
counsel will seek to have it cover even
more time. .Ur
The motion for the rehearing was for
second hearing on the second points
Attorney Olney stated in brief that in
case the petition should be granted he
would ask to have the entire question re-
opened, saying the governmnet had never
been heard as to whether a tax on rentals
or dividends on bonds was Constitutional
as an original proposition. and intimat-
ing he would like to have an opportunity
to go into this question at length.
AS the entire question is new to Justice
Jackson, in the sense that he has heard
none of the oral arguments. 1T is consid-
cred not improbable that more or less ar
gument on all sides will be permitted.
Whatever the conclusion of Justice jack
son after hearing the arguments, no re-
versal of the opinion of the court in re-
gard TO incomes from rents and public
bonds is possible unless at least two
members of the court which participated
in the former decision change their votes.
The court stood six to two in pronounce
ing that part of the law unconstitutional.
On the remaining features of the law the
court divided. and if all the mem bers of
the court vote this time as they did be-
FORE Mr.. Jackson's voice will decide the
matter. 1t is understood that Attorney
General Olney will appear in person in
the presentation of the government side
of the question, and it is PROBABLE he will
be assisted by Assistant Attorney General
Whitney. Mr.. Choate will also again be
the principal speaker for the appellants
Associate Justice Howell f. Jackson of
the supreme court of the United States
has arrived here from Nashville. He ex-
poets to participate in the proceedings to-
morrow in the supreme court incidental
to the re-hearing of the income tax cases.
Hon. Joseph Choate and his son, and
Hon. B. II. Brstow. of New York, also
reached the city tonight. presumably to
take part in the court proceedings.
