INCOME TAX SUIT.
The Decision OF Judge Hagner
Handed Down at Washington.

danucu DO"u dI "aohAhSeohs "
Judge T1gner, at Washington, dismissed
the application OF John G. Moore. OF New
York, for an injunction to restrain the Com
missioner OF Internal Revenue from collect
ting the income tax. The case will be car
ried to the District Court OF Appeals on
amen.ied application.
Judge Hagner held that there was prac-
tically no duplication OF tux on dividends OF
corporations, but even II there were 1t WAS
settled Law that vexatious rs duplicate taxa
tion WAS. it was not possible to avoid IL IN
every case. He also held that the conten-
tion that the tax was unjust because 1t taxed
only incomes over O certain amount Ieh
within the discretion given to Congress py
tho Constitution, and was beyond the con-
troll OF the judicial authority. The claim that
the tax was unconstitutional becnuse aliens
were incuI led in it, the Court said, was OF
benefit rather than detriment 10 the COM
plainant, and did not supply grievance
calling Tor an injunction.
Asto the fifth and last specification, that
assessments were to be made upon incomes
that had been earned and received prior to
the date of the act taking effect, Judge
Hacnpr decided against the contention.
Judge Hagner also held that claimant had
the right TO recover taxes illegally collected.
II was also held that the courts were with
out authority t. rant an In unetion in such
n case as this, because OF q provision In the
Revised Statutes that "no suit for the pur-
nose OF restraining the assessment or collec-
tlon OF any tax shall be maintained IN any
court"
