WASHINGTON. April 3.-(Special)-
Most everybody in government circles Is
on the tiptoe OF expectancy regarding
the coming decision OF the Supreme
Court on the constitutionality Of the In
come-tax law. The Vrginians In the
city are much interested. The tax Is
generally advocated In Virginia. and all
OF the delegation in Congress voted for
It. as well as the North Carolina men,
bers.
Congressman Tyler was at the Capitol
this morning He has always thought
the law just one. and In talking OF the
matter to-day appeared interested. but
was Just as much In the dark as the
average citizen. Really no one can tell
what the court will decide though there
are so many rumors anoat II would not
be surprising II the standing Of the court
on this important question had leaked
out Such things have happened.
Tho talk about town Is that the court
IS either evenly divided or perhaps a
bare majority against the main provis-
ions Of the law. one thing looks suspi-
cious. and that Is the head men OF the
administration are much worried. ms
causes many people to arrive at the con-
cluslon that probably the President has
discovered the situation and sees an
extra session of Congress staring MIN IN
the face It is even asserted in Oihci'l
circles that pressure is being brought
TO bear on at least one judge who -
wavering.
Should the court evenly divide. 1t Is
said that the corporations and the m n
with big estates will decline to pay the
tax. and that Immediately suits VIII be
brought I'm circuit and district courts all
over the land to resist the collection OF
the tax. This will complicate the situa-
ton.
