ed TO give an outline of his views from
notes. His voice was at first feeble, but
as he became interested in his subject,
he was able to speak with more
strength. although his reading was slow

coughing. In beginning Justice Jack
son announced that he concurred fully
in the dissents expressed by Justice
White on the former hearing, and the
other justice who dissented today. He
said:
1T is not and cannot be denied that
under the broad and comprehensive
taxing power conferred by the consti-
tuition congress has the authority to tax
incomes, from whatever source arising
whether from real estate or personal
property or otherwise. 1t is equally
clar that congress in exercise OF the
authority has the discretion to impose
the tax upon incomes above designat-
ed amount. Theunderlying and con-
trolling question now presented is
whether the taxation of incomes receiv-
ed from land and personality are sub
;ect to the rule of apprortionment."

court reached the conclusion that be-

thereby invalidated another branch

against which there was no valid OBJ
lection If the conclusion OF the court
was sound. the principle could with

others on the operation of the consti-
tutional provision as to apportionment,
holding that the rule had been con-
suited only when IL could be reaSona-
bly, applied. The changes contemplat-
ed from the former practice In this
matter, Justice Harlan said. was lit
tie less than revolution Every one
comedies that the decisions in former
cases would have been the same as
they were if there had been reference
in the constitution TO direct taxes. he
held the tax on rents 10 be DUTY or
something entirely different from tax
on land from which rent was collected.
HE FINDS DIFFERENCES.
He combatted the idea that rents
were a devise of lands, in view of the
fact that the present law was TO con-
tinue in operation for only five years.
A tax on land is generally lien on
land while that on rents Is not IN
its essence a 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 the
courts former decision and said in
cidentally that the present conclusion
had been reached by bare majority.
In his judgment, to say nothing or
former holdings of the court. the de-
cision might well excite very grave ap-
thority of the government 10 protect
itself in times of great emergency. 1t
is tendency to return TO the old sys-
tenn of the federation before the con-
stitution was adopted. Such change
menaced the authority of the govern
ment, relieving as it does all the wealth
of the country from the operations of
an income tax. Such a decision could
not have any effect other than of a
rousing Indignation from among the
people. 1t was wicked assault on the
rights of the people. He predicted that
the decision would provoke a contest
such as the country should have been
spared.
In conclusion Justice Harlan said.
speaking of the decision of the court:
such a result is one TO be deeply de-
plored- 1t cannot be regarded other
wise than a disaster TO the country.
The practical, if not the direct, effect
of the decision today is to give to GER
tain kinds of property a position of
favoritism and advantage that is in
consistent with the fundamental prin-
ciples of our social organization, and
to invest them with power and influ-
ence that may be perilous to that por-
ton of the American people upon whom
rests the larger part of the burdens Of
the government and who ought not
be subjected TO the domination of ag-
gregated wealth any more than the
property of the country should be at
the mercy of the lawless."
JUSTICE JACKSON'S OPINION.
The views of no other members of the
court have been the subject of so much
speculation as those of Justice Jack
son, who, is was thought, would be
practically referee in the case. Jus
tice Jackson said his health had not
