An Aged Scott County Woman Worth
Thousands Living In Filth.
County Physician DeArmond, OF
Scott county. was yesterday made
acquainted with q case that calls for
attention, and will probably have it..
Report was made to him by some of
the residents of Gilbertown, that
Mrs. Hinrichson, a woman 80 years
OF age or more, is living in howell
there, surrounded by circumstances
that are fit to sicken a dog. She is
attended and cared for-as far as she
gets any care-by an adopted daugh-
ter. but the interior Of the hut is said
to be so immeasurably dirty that the
average man can't endure its atmos-
phere mere than two minutes at a
time, while hunger, cold and danger
of fire are other circumstances that
mark the case. The woman is said
to have 81, 800 in one of the savings
banks at Davenport, with n certain
prospect of enough more to bring
her assets up to $4,000 or there
about.
Will be Cared For.
The old lady is said to be hardly
accountable for her condition, and
the younger woman with her seems
to be little. if any. more capable.
II the facts are shown to be as stated,
application will be made for a TEN.
porary guardian for the old woman,
and she will be given the care tina,
her case demands.

The Union becomes excited over
the fact of The ARGUS having com.
mented on the political misfor-
tunes Of ex-Mayor Henry Carse, and
it proceeds to read the riot act to all
republicans who were not successful
in the recent city-township conven-
ton. The ARGUS is not attempting
to influence Mr.. Carse's friends as
the morning paper intimates, and it
is an insult to both Mr.. Carse and
his friends to put such construction
or implication that their loyalty is
to be questioned. The ARGUS re-
hearsed as a remarkable evidence OF
the uncertainties of politics. when
dominated by sharp politicians of the
Collins-Campbell family stripe, the

The Income Tax.

Louisville Courier Journal.
Though the constitutionality of the
income tax was argued before the
supreme court by most imposing
array Of able counsel, it is surpris-
ing how little new matter was intro
duced. The arguments made were
simply repetitions of what was said
in congress and in the newspapers
last year while the law was under
discussion.
The truth is the whole question
has been heretofore adjudged. 1t is
now simply whether the supreme
court will adhere to what it has pre-
viously decided, or whether the pres
sure is strong enough to induce a
majority of the judges to override a
\ number OF decisions previously
made.
The strongest point by the oppo-
nents of tax on incomes is that it is
a direct tax. II this were so it would
have to be apportioned among the
states in proportion to population.
and this is not done In the present
law. Before the question became
res adjudicata many lawyers and po-
litical economists classed an income
tax among direct taxes. But the su-
preme court has from time to time
defined what are direct taxes within
the meaning Of the constitution.
The net result of the series of decis.
ions is that no tax is direct under the
federal constitution except poll taxes
on real estate. The various income
tax laws passed between 1861 and
1871 have been expressly upheld by
the court.
The point that the income tax OF
1894 is not uniform because it ex.
empts incomes up to $4,000 would
have been just as good against any
of the income tax laws previously
passed. All of them exempted GER
tain incomes, and in one the excep
tion amounted to $4,000. The right
to exempt being conceded, the
amount is necessarily within the dis
erection of the legislative branch o
the government. II an exemption o.
1900 is constitutional. an exemp
tion Of $4,000 is not within any con
stitutional inhibition. Taxes would
not be uniform il some incomes were
not exempted because taxes on con
sumption take a large part OF al
small incomes, while they do no
touch the surplus of large incomes a
all. For this reason some exemption
is absolutely necessary to eqaaliz
the burden Of taxation.
The only question for the suprem
court to decide is whether it will re
verse numerous decisions already
made or stand by the doctrine il
virtue of which hundreds Of million
of dollars were collected betwee'
