THE TAN WILL BE UPHELD.
Justice Jackson Stands by the Justices
IN Favor of the Income.


Washington, D. c. May 13,-
Judge Jackson called at the White
house to day and paid his respects
to the President He expects to
leave for Tenne sec to night or
tomorrow on the expectation of
returning here in time for the Octo
ber term of court md his house is
being put in rel ar in anticipation
of his permanent residence here at
that time.
1t was definitely learned to day
that at the consultation of the jus.
tees Saturday, Justice Jackson voted
with Justices Brown, White, Harlan
and Shiras to sustain the constitu
tionality of the income tax law, and
the vote to be announced next Mon
day will stand 5 to in favor of the
law. It is also learned that Justice
Jackson's attitude was understood
by his colleagues on the bench be.
fore he came to Washington. He
has at all times been fully advised
as to the merits of the case and was
furnished with the record and the
lawyers briefs so that he was fully
prepared to vote when the Justices
met in consultation. His reason for
coming to Washington was to crafty
the desire of the court to have the
income tax case settled decisiyely,
80 that the court would not be left
divided on such an important quss
tion with possibility of endless
litigation.
It. is learned, moreover, that the
re-argument did not change the
views of single justice, and the
points decided unconstitutional in
the original opinion are still held to
be SO. 1t is SAID that some members
of the court are disposed to believe
that the majority may have gone a
little too far in exempting rents
from the income tax, but the vote
taken Saturday did not cause a
change OF heart among those who
voted to exempt real estate and
municipal bonds.
The coming decision, upholding
the law, will not by any means ter.
inmate the fight to overthrow the
income tax, although it will enable
the treasury officials to collect the
revenue to be derived from it with
less embarrassment than if the re
argument had not occurred.
The income tax returns already
received at the Treasury department
are being classified and recorded
Although the officials are extremel,
reticent on the subject it is believed
that the rent exemptions will amour
to so per cent of the whole, Th,
whole number of returns mad
under the law are approximate
100000, and the estimate is mad
that these represent not more thai
IS per cent of the number of per
sons legally liable under the Law
These delinquents will certainly b
proceeded against as rapidly as pos
sible, and it is thought that the 5
per cent penalty imposed by th
law will not be remitted in any case
