then which determines whether a tsl
is direct or indirect is whether it is col
lected direct on property itself, or In
some indirect manner, like duties OF
imports, stamps on documents, snd
other things, under the internal reVe
nue. law, and any way that is not on
the property itself.
Now, having defined what a direct
tax is, what followsP Why, it follows
that if this income.tax, which the
multi-millionaire refused to pay, is on
property itself, then it is direct tax
but if it is not on property, but is q
per cent. indirectly collected from the
income of a person, then il is an indt-
rect tax; and if an indirect tax, it is
not required to be prOportiOned to the
census. This the supreme court ad-
mits. But Chief Justice Fuller says
that, inssmuch as many incomes are
made up largely from rents on real
estate, and inasmuch as rents are re-
ceived by the owner from real estate,
and inasmuch as a tax on the real
estate would be a direct tax, therefore
it follows that tax on rents is a di-
rect tax. With all due respect to the
chief justice, it looks to me that he
looks through false pair of mental
goggles when he makes that assertion.
Is he right when he says that because
rents come from real estate, therefore
rents are real estate, and tax on one
must logically be a direct tax, the same
as the other ? True, he does not quite say
that rents are real estate, but he does
say what is tsntamount to that, when
he says that a tax on rents is a direct
tax, and it follows that direct tax
must be laid on property direct, either
real or personal; hence, he would have
it to 60 that rents are real estate. The
probability is that he did not follow
this course of reasoning to its logical
sequence, for if he had he would have
seen the absurdity of it.
The whole trouble in that decision is
that the court failed to reason as a
true logicisn reasons, by first laying
down the premises in truth, by saying
that tax on incomes is an indirect
tax. But on the contrary, they pur-
sued the course the sophist always pur-
sues, starting out at the very incep-
tion by laying down the premises from
which to draw conclusions, in false
hood, when they say that tax on in
comes is a direct tax. Now, this
makes the question as clear as
the sun at noon in an unclouded sky.
If it is a direct tax, the decision is
right. If 1t is an indirect tax, the de-
cision is wrong. The people cannot be
fooled by the court and made to be-
lieVe that it is a direct tax, when it is
so plainly an indirect tax.

been exceedingly gratifying to the av-
erage citizen of this republic, if he

A High Private On Income-Fa1.

look on q king" says the old adage
On the same principle, high private
in the legal ranks may have his say
about the recent decision of the United
States supreme court on the income,
tax law. Chief Justice Fuller, deliver
ing the opinion of the court, said that
the incOme-tax law is unconstitutional
on the ground of being "direct tax, "
and was not imposed under the proVi-
sion of section 8, article l, of the
United States constitution, which reads
as follows, tO-Wit
mo capitation or other direct tax
shall be laid, unless in proportion to
the census or enumeration heretofore
directed to be given"
1t is not claimed that this is 8 capi-
tatiOn tax. Then is it direct taxp
For if it is a direct tax, then no lawyer
will dispute the justice of the decision,
inasmuch as congress did not appOr-
tion it in proportion to the census. But
If it is not direct tax, then no reason
able legal or other mind will claim for
moment that it would be necessary for
congress to apportion it in proportion
to the census to make it constitutional.
Hence the constitutionality turns upon
the single question, is it a direct tax.
Let us first inquire what direct tax
is. To make 1t plain, first, what is an
indirect tax? Everybody knows there
have been two ways since this republic
started for raising revenue to support
the government. One by tax on
property direct, and the other by an
indirect tax, mainly by duties upon i'm
ports. Then an indirect tax may be
said to be one which is not on property
itself, but is estimated in some other
way, or by some other rule, than on
the property direct. Such tax, to be
indirect, would be a duty on imports.
This will be conceded by all. If no inn
ports, there would be no duty collected.
During the war a tax was laid by con-
gress on incomes of 5 per cent. I paid
that till the law was amended so that,
unless over 81, 900 was received, no in
come tax was collected. Then $4,000
was exempt before any inCome-tsx was
collected. Then it was repealed. No
body ever limited that the income-tsX
Of the war was unconstitutional. 1t
was not proportioned according to the
census either. 1t was assessed on the
incomes of people in the same manner
as this last income law was. 1t would
have been a very unpopular act for any
man to even hint that he would not pay
his income-tax because of its unconsti-
tutionality. 1t would have been still
more unpopular for a court to rule that |
the law of the war was unconstitu-
tionsl. We all understood that law to |
provide an indirect tax, and nobody |
questioned it when in operation.
Another indirect tax was that requir-
ing stamps on all legal contracts and |
plesdings. Also on spirits, malt and |
VinOus liquors. Then, if under the in
ternal revenue law during the war,
such taxes, including that on incomes,
were indirect taxes, how does it hap
pen that the same kind of tax in
time of peace becomes direct tax ? |
Having defined what an indirect tax
is, it becomes very easy to define the

OF water and the river was running full
Of ice, huge cakes many yards square
coming down and striking the piers

A telephone message to Steubenville
at two a. m. ELECTED the information
that the river was rising rapidly there
and that it was floating full of ice No
information from points above there
could be gotten. but it is supposed that
the rivers above have been broken up
by the running out of the mountain
streams caused by the melting of the
large quantities of snow in that sec
ton. As far as could be learned no
damage had been done at any of the
points heard from up the river.
Word was received from Mounds
vile at 2.15 10 the effect that the
gorge at that place had not yet broken.
1t is thought, though that the large
volume of water in the river and the
rapidity with which it was rising,
would soon force the ice out there and
that by this afternoon the entire river
Will be open again.

The reports received from all points
