tax unless in proportion in numbers as
ascertained by the census; and in the
light of the circumstances to which we
have referred. is it not an evasion Of
that prohibition to hold that a general
unapportioned tax imposed upon all
property-owners as a body for or in re-
spect of their property is not direct in
the meaning of the constitution, because
confined TO the income therefrom? Nor
can we conceive any ground why the
same reasoning does not andy to capt.
tai in personality for the purpose of in
come or ordinarily yielding income. and
to the income therefrom. All the real
estate of the country and all its invested
personal property are open to the di-
rect operation Of the taxing power if an
apportionment be made according to The
constitution. The constitution does rot
say that no direct tax shall be laid by
apportionment on any property than
land On the contrary, it forbids all
unapportloned direct taxes: and we
know Of no warrant for excepting per-
sonal property from the exercise Of the
power, or any reason why an appor-
toned direct tax cannot be laid and as
sessed. as Mr.. Gallatin said in his report
when secretary Of the treasury in 1872.
upon the same objects eff taxation on
which the direct taxes levied under the
authority of the state are laid and as
sessed.
The stress Of argument is thrown,
however on the assertion that an in
come tax is not property tax at ali;
that it is not a real estate tax nor crop
tax nor bond tax; that it is an assess
ment upon the taxpayer on account of
his money-spending power. as shown by
his revenue for the year preceding the
assessment; that rents received. crops
harvested, interest collected, although
once not taxable. have become trans
muted in their near form into taxable
matter: in other words. that income is
taxable irrespective of the source from
whence IL is derived"
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1895-05-30

from. the yield Of all the owners real
or personal property, in the manner
prescribed. is 50 different from a tax
upon the pro- erty itself. that it is not
direct but an Indirect tax in the mean
ing Of the Constitution
I'VE know OF 40 reason for noldfng
otherwise than that the words direct
taxes on the one hand, and duties.
imposts and excuses on the other were
used in the constitution in their natur-
al and obvious senses, nor in arriving
at what those terms embrace do we
perceive any ground for charging them
beyond or narrowing them within their
natural and obvious import, and the
time the constitution was framed and
ratified. Passing from the text, we re-
gard the conclusion reached as newt
able, when the circumstances which
surrounded the convention and con-
trolled its action and the views of those
who framed and those who adopted the
constitution are considered"
The chief justice next discussed the
reasons for the constitutional provis-
ions regarding direct taxation. The
states had plenary powers Of taxation,
he said, but gave up the great sources
OF revenue derived from commerce and
retained the power Of leyying taxes and
duties covering anything other than ex-
cises, but in respect TO them the range
OF taxation was narrowed by the power
granted to the federal government over
interstate commerce. While they grant
ed the power Of apportioning direct ta-
alton they secured to the states the o.
portunity 70 pay the amount appor-
toned and to recoup from their own cit
liens in the most feasible way. The
founders anticipated that the expenses
Of the federal government would chief
~ be met by indirect taxation. They
knew that the power to tax involved the
power to destroy
The opinion continued. 1T is said that
a tax on the whole income of property
is not a direct tax, but a duty. We do
not think so. Direct taxation was not
restricted in one breath and the restric-
ton blown TO the winds in another"
The Federalist was then quoted from
to show that Hamilton considered all
internal taxes, except duties and excuses
on articles of consumption, to be direct
taxes. The opinion next took up the ar
gument that tax on property is not a
direct tax within the meaning of the
constitution, and on this point it says:
The constitution prohibits any direct

BORDER MEN FIGHT.
Sheep Drovers Mix with Cowboys and
Foar Men Are Hurt.

Red Cliff. Colo. May 27-The first
open rupture in the much-talked-of
sheepmenfs and cattlemen's war in
Routt county has occurred and four
men are badly wounded, two of whom
may die Of their injuries. The news was
brought BY messenger who came for
medical assistance. The messenger
could give but few details of the af :
fair. The scene of the encounter was
twenty miles above Wolcott. on the
Sheep Horn. Wolcott is a station on the
Denver & Rio Grande railway and is
the starting point for stages running
to Steamboat Springs. The trouble be-
tween the sheepmen and cattlemen is
the same that caused so much trouble
in Western Colorado last year. The
sheepmen, principally from wyoming
and None ma, insist on driving their
herds IL rough Routt county as far
south as Wolcott. where they expect
to ship the sheep by rail to eastern
markets. The cattlemen oppose this
drive, saying it is only a ruse to get the
sheep into Routt county for grazing
purposes. Last week the cattlemen, $50
in number. met at Steamboat Springs
and unanimously resolved not to per-
nit the sheepmen to enter.

.'As heretofore stated. the constitu-

great classes. the class of direct taxes

qualified the grant of power as to each
class. The power to lay direct taxes, APP
portioned to their representation in

resentation based on population as as
certained by the census, was plenary
and absolute. but 70 lay direct taxes
