of the Interpretation of the Constitution

IeDth-Every case in the lower courts
involving the validity OF these laws
which can be found was decided in their
favor.
Justice White then reviews each of the
previous decisions OF the Supreme Court
in similar tax cases, and adds: "The
opinion of the court to-day in holding
that the inclusion of the rentals of land
in income tax renders the tax direct
Qaod hog, not only reverses the decisons
have cited, but involves, it seems to me,
a contradiction in terms. If the income
tax Is not direct tax, now can it be said
that the inclusion therein OF rentals de-
rived from real estate makes it a direct
tax pro tdat02 The question is not, ac-
corning 10 my view, whether such in
clu&ion affects real estate, but whether
the tax thus levied is direct tax thereon
within the meaning OF The Constitution.
According to the very words of the statute
ihlS tax IS indirect. In no sense is
1t a tax on land as such. 1t places no
huTnens on real estate; II 1t is not rented.
or II lAo rent Is not collected, or If the
owner occupies his land himself, it puts
no ulrect burden on land under any Cir

The opinions were concluded at 2:45

Income derived from municipal bonds is
not the subject of specific taxation i'll any

The effect OF all the opinions delivered

ROYAL BAKING POWDER.
TRAIN-noRRRR BRADY.
He Bobs Up SereneIy in Many Part
of IA STATE

He Bobs Up Serenely in Many Parts
of the state.
Train-robber Brady is becoming as
ubiquitous as was Ned MCGOWAN in the
old Vigilante days, when he would be re-
ported as being at dozen or more places
in one day, and these scores of miles
apart.
One day Brady is declared to be in this
city and down at Santa Cruz at the Isame
time. The next he is seen at Winters,
1olo County, and yesterday he was at
Uk1ah, Mendocino County.
Last evening came story from Oro-
vile to the effect that that morning man
applied to the foreman OF a mine near there
Tor work. Soon atterward the foreman
had occasion to leave the mine for short
time, and during his absence the man
asked one Of the miners the direction to
Roseville. When the foreman returned
the man had left the mine, and nothing
has been seen of him since.
OF course the mysterious Individual re-
sembled the much-sought-fo Brady, the
train-robber. But, strange to say, he did
not have bicycle with him. Country
detectives should pear in mind the fact
that no clew to the robber will be ac-
cepted unless bicycle cuts some figure
