The views of no other member Of
the Z. $. Supreme court have been
the subject of SO much speculation
as those Of Justice Jackson, who, it
was thought, would be pra. tically
referee in the case.
In beginning, Justice Jackson an
nounced that he concurred fully i'm
the dissents expressed by Justice
White on the former hearing and
the other justices who dissented to
day. lie said. "It is not, and
cannot be denied, that under the
broad and comprehensive taxing
power conferred by the constitution,
congress has the authority to tax
incomes from whatever source aris
ing, whether from real estate or per-
sonal property or otherwise. 1t is
equally clear that congress in the
exercise Of this authority, has the
discretion to impose the tax upon
incomes above a designated amount.
The underlying question now pre-
sented is whether the taxation Of i'm
comes received from land and per-
sonality are subject to the rule of
apportionment.'
1t was not found, said the justice,
that there was any lack of uni
formity 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, or the reason
that the tax was not laid by the rule
for apportionment, it thereby in
validated another branch resting
upon the rule of uniformity and
against which there is no valid OBJ
lection. If the conclusion of the
court was sound, the principle
could, with equal propriety, be ex-
tended to the entire tariff act.
The court, in his Judgment, took
a wrong method of arriving at the
true meaning Of the words, "direct
! tax" depending on the opinions OF
writer's since the constitution, who
agreed on nothing. 1t never was
contemplated by the trainers of the
7 constitution to reach by direct taxa
= ton subjects Of partial distribution
!! What would be thought Of tax
laid on cotton, at so much a bale,
q on tobacco or rice; property not ex-
i isting in majority Of the states.
: They contemplated the apportion-
ment Of a direct tax on subjects
matter having general distribution
among the states. They never con-
templated anything as direct tax,
e but that laid directly on property
J, itself, according to valuation Of as
sessment. No intention could be
attributed to the fran, Is Of the con-
stitution 70 max. any tax a direct
tax which it was possible to appor-
ton. If tax could not be appor-

with reasonable approximation to
equality to all citizens of the coun-

was not direct tax within the
meaning of the constitution.

to aid navigation by holding the water

YACHT ARTIST CAPSIZED.

Her Owner and Builders Were Aboard

DETROIT, July 16.-A special to The
Free Press from South Haven, Mich,
says: During the afternoon H. Tits
worth took his new yacht Artist out for
builders, Messrs. Coats and Stillson.
When about four miles north of the
harbor squall struck and capsized her.
The lifesaving crew went out immedi-
ately. and soon after the tug Mcclure,
but the yacht was 50 far away that the
men were all drowned before the crew
could reach them. All that was found
was cap which proved to have be-
longed to Mr.. Stillson. The reason for
the boat sinking SO quickly was the
fact that she held a great amount Of
ballast which could not be shifted, and,
as being new, they had not yet put in
any air cans to buoy her.
