,Enect OF Moisture ON Grapes.

Prof. Swezey, state meteorologist,
said to the Nebraska horticultural so
ciety that he had not been able to
trace any relation between the amount
of rainfall and the yield of the vine
yard. The great amount of moisture
in the spring sometimes induces free
growth and little fruit. A late drought
even must be extremely severe to cause
the grapes to wither or drop unless
blighted, and frequent stirring OF the
soil or a little irrigation, if practicable.

the law intended by the legislature, one it
may never have been willing by itself to
enact.
ut is evident that the income from
realty formed a vital part of the scheme
for taxation in this act. If this be stricken
out and also the income from all invested
personal property bonds, stocks, invest
ments of all kinds, it is obvious that by
far the greatest of the anticipated reve-
nue. would be eliminated and this would
leave the burden of the tax to be borne
by professions, trades, employments or
vocations, and in that way what was in
tended as tax on capital would remain
in substance a tax on occupations and Ia
Dor. We cannot believe that such was
the intention of congress- Being invalid
us to the greater part and failing, as the
tax would if any part of it We're held
valid, in q direction which would not have
been contemplated except i'm connection
with the taxation considered as an en-
tirety, we are constrained to conclude that
sections p to 81 inclusive of the act,
which became law without the sigma
ture of the president on August %, 1894,
are wholly imperative and void" The
conclusions of the court were as follows:
First-We adhere to the opinion al
ready announced that taxes on real es-
tates being undisputably direct taxes,
taxes ON the rent income of real estate
are equally direct taxes.
Second-We are of the opinion that
taxes on personal property or on the in
come of personal property are likewise
direct taxes.
Third-The taxes imposed by sections
81 to 81 inclusive of the acts of 1891,
SO far as it falls on the income of real
estate or personal property, being direct
tax within the meaning of the constitu-
ton and therefore unconstitutional and
void, because not apportioned according
to representation, all those sections con-
shutting one entire scheme of taxation
are necessarily invalid.
The decree below will be reversed and
the cases are remanded with instructions
to grant the relief prayed.
Sections p to 81 of the acts of 1S94
referred to 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
specifically.
The chief justice concluded the reading
of his opinion at 1852 o'clock, its de-
livery having consumed 80 minutes. He
was Immediately followed by Justice Har-
Ian in a dissenting. opinion.

William A. Pinkerton addressed the
convention and, with his brother, Robert
Pinkerton, was elected ITO active mem

committee on Jail appliances and disin-

taken looking ITO the adoption of the Bar

A resolution was adopted that all the
municipalities In the United States and

more send their chiefs Of police and super

of Pontiac, who attended as proxy for
the chief, spoke of the Berlin system of
an identification of prisoners and also
recommended the establishment Of ma

pective of the source from which it is de-
rived"
The chief justice said that since the
court had held unanimously that the re-
ceipts from municipal bonds could not be
taxed because the bonds were instru-
ments of the States the same rule applies
| to revenue from other sources not subject
to the TAX, and the lack of power to levy
any but an apportioned tax on real and
personal property equally exists as to the
revenue therefrom.
The court does not understand, it says.
that the income has ever been regarded
in England as other than a direct tax
| After this review of the cases and con-
sideration of the arguments of counsel
! the court, as it approached its general con-
illusions, made the following general argu-
ment:
IF it were the fact that there had been
no income tax law, such as this, at the
time the constitution was framed and
adopted, it would not be of controlling
Importance. A direct tax can not be
| taken out of the constitutional rule be
cause the particular tax did not arise
at the time the rule was prescribed AS
Chief Justice Marshall said at Dart
mouth college case:
1T is not enough to say that this par
ticular case was not in the mind of the
convention when the article was framed,
nor of the American people when it was
adopted. 1t is necessary to go further
| and to say that had this particular case
been suggested, the language would have
been so varied as to exclude it or it would
have been made special exception. The
case being within the words of the rule,
must be within its operation likewise,
unless there be something in the literal
construction so obviously absurd or mis-
chievous or repugnant to the general
spirit of the instrument as to justify max
ing it an exception.
Being indirect and therefore to be laid
by a proportionment, is there any real
difficulty in doing so? Can not congress,
if the necessity exists of raising thirty,
forty or any other number of million
dollars for the support of the government
in addition to the revenues from duties,
imposts and excuses, apportion the quota
of each State upon the basis of census
and thus advise it of the payment which
must be made and proceed to assess that
amount on all the real and personal prop
erty or the income of all persons in the
State and collect the same and If the State
does not pay its quota to collect the
amount according to its own system ana
it's own way. Inconvenience might pos
sibly attend the levy of an income tax
but that it is apportiOnable is hardly de
MED, although it is asserted that it would
operate so unequally as to be undesirable.
in the indispositiOn of the inquiry
whether general unapporuoned
tax on the income of real and
personal property can be sustained
under the constitution, it is apparent

JUSTICE WHITES VIEWS.

Justice White stated his views briefly:
From first to last he said the opinion of
the majority was but series of con
trary positions, one eating up and destroy
ing the others. In stating the grounds
upon which he dissented from the ma.
Jority, Justice White laid great stress
on the Hilton case and renunciated the
great points he made i'm his first dissent.
ing opinion.
In conclusion Justice Whites opinion
said:
''The injustice of the conclusion points
to the error of adopting it, 1t takes in.
vested wealth and reads it into the con.
stitution as favored and protected class
of property, whilst it leaves the occu
patton of the minister, the doctor, the
professor. the lawyer, the inventor, the
author, the merchant and all THE various
forms of human activity upon which the
property of a people must depend, sub
ject to taxation with apportionment. The
absolute inequality and injustice of the
taxing by reference to population and
without regard to the amount of wealth
taxed are so manifest that to admit the
power to tax and to limit to this mode
substantially denies the power itself since
it imposes restriction which renders its
exercise practically impossible"
A few more remarks were made by Jus
tice White. He spoke of the decision a
blow struck at the American people.

THE PRESBYTERIANS.
| Churches of Pittsburg Thrown Open to
Receive the Divines.

Pittsburg, May 19.-Churches of all
sorts and varieties opened their doors
and pulpits today to the divines of the
Presbyterian general assembly. The
greatest interest was felt in the sermon OF
Moderator DR.. r. B. Booth of New York,
who preached, as is customary, in the
church where the assembly, sits. He was
greeted by large audience which con.
tanned a large proportion of assembled
commissioners.
Part of the two days have now been
devoted by the Presbyterian general as
scmbly TO the discussion of the subject
of assembly control of the theological sem
inaries. Tomorrow the debate will be re
sumed with vigor. Thus far all attempts
TO limit debate have been voted down, but
word has gone forth that decision mus

Many, however, doubt the ability of the
leaders to put this program through.

incomes above designated amount.
The controlling question now presened is
whether the taxation of incomes arising
from land and personally are subject to
the rule of superintendent lit was not
found, said the justice, that there was any
lack of uniformity in the legislation and
he could not understand THE principle upon
which the court reached the conclusion
that because one branch of the law was
invalid adj of it was so.
The court, in his judgment, took a
wrong method of arriving at the true
meaning of the words "direct tax" 1t
never was contemplated by the trainers
OF the constitution to reach by direct tax
alton subjects of partial distribution.
What would be THE thought of direct
tax levied upon cotton at so much per bale,
on tobacco or rice, property not existing
in majority of the States. They con-
template the apportionment of direct
tax on subjects having general distribu-
ftion among the States. They never
contemplated anything as a direct tax
but that laid directly upon property itself
according to valuation of assessment.
No intention could be attributed to the
trainers of the constitution to make di-
rect any tax which it was possible to ap-
portion. If tax could not be apporton-
ed among States with reasonable approx
nation to apply equally to all citizens of
the country, that Should be evidence
that 1t was not Il direct tax within the
meaning of the constitution. What is
to be the end of the application of this
new rule adopted by the court? A tax
Is laid by the general government on all
money on hand or on deposit of every
citizen of the government at given date.
When laid Il few parties say my de-
posits were derived from the proceeds
of farm products or from the interest
on bonds and securities, and they are not
therefore taxable by this law. In my
Judgment, the principle announced in
the proceeding practically destroys the
power of the government to reach in
comes from such of them. There is no
real difference between changing the
existence of the power to tax incomes
from real or personal property and at
taching such conditions and requirements
to its exercises as will render it impossible
to any practical operation. You might
Just as well strike at the power to reach
incomes from the source indicated as to
attach these conditions of apportionment
which no legislature can undertake to
| adopt, and which can not be enforced
with any degree of equality or fairness
between the common citizens of a common
country.
The practical operation Of the decision
is not only to disregard the great principles
of equality in taxation, but THE further
principle that in the imposition of taxes
the burdens should be imposed upon those
having the most ability to bear them
ThedecisiOn strikes down an important
portion of the most vital and essential
power of the government in practically
excluding any recourse to incomes from
| real and personal estates for the pur-
pose of raising the revenues to meet the
I governments wants and necessities
| under any circumstances.

JUSTICE BROWN,s Opinion


Justice Brown said that if the u,u s,iCn
what is, and what is not q direct fax
were now for the first time presented, he
should entertain grave doubt whether
the definition of a direct tax as given by
the court and writers on political econo-
my, ought not to apply to not only income
tax but to every tax the burden of which
is borne both Immediately and ultimately
by the person paying it. He regards it
clear that the clause requiring direct taxa
tion to be appOrtioned to the population
has no application to taxes which are not
capable of apportionment. II could re be
supposed that the constitution could have
contemplated a practical inhibition upon
the power of congress to tax in some way
all taxable property within the jurisdic-
ton of the federal government for the
purpose of national revenue.
Justice Brown, in conclusion said:
"Respect for the constitution will not
be inspired by a narrow and technical
construction which shall limit the neces-
sary powers of congress. The decision
involves nothing less than the surrender of
the taxing power of the monied class.
"While / have no doubt that congress
will find some means of surmounting the
present crisis, my fear is that in some
moment of national peril this decision will
rise up to Illustrate its will and paralyze
it's arm. | hope it may not prove the
first step towards the submargeEae Of the
liberties of the people into sordid despot-
ism of wealth"

JUSTICE HARLAN'S OPINION.

Justice Harlan says that at the former

which he thought nothing could be added.
