the statement that IL his healh did not

dent. There is no doubt as TO the pre<i-
dents views upon the expediency and
consututionality of the income tax. His
suggestion 10 congress that a low rate
income tax should be enacted was made
only after the most careful examination
of all the questions involved. and as
result of this examination he was. and is
still, convinced that an income tax law is
constitutional. IL is understood that his
views differ radically from those of tho
court on the rent exemption question. as
contained In their opinion of last Monday
Mr. Cleveland, IL is said. holds 10 the
opinion that the taxation of incomes re-
ceived from rents is not direct tax
within the meaning OF the constitution
and that in case OF the retirement Of
Justice Jackson during his term OF Office

coincide with his own on this important
point.
