WON'T HURT THE RICH
Income Tax Decision Said to be
Agreed On.
Two Portions of the Law I'm
constitutional.
LANDLORDS UNTAXED.
Rents and Bonds Are Exempt by
the Decision.
Business Men and Salaried Per-
sons Have to Pay.
Court is Badly Divided and May
Reserve Decision.
LANDLORDS UNTAXED.

CHICAGO, Ill, April "a special dis
patch to the Tribune from Washington,
D. c., says:
The United States court, in the income
tax case, has reversed the decision of the
lower court. but the income tax law as
whole is upheld only by divided court
Two important portions of the law,
however. have been decided to be IN
constitutional, and they are so serious as
to affect materially not only the reve-
nues of the government, but the estima
ton in which the income tax will be held
by the people.
Under the decision to be handed down
by the court, it is said all incomes de-
rived from rents are exempted from tax
alton by the federal government, and all
incomes derived from state and munich
pal bonds are similarly exempted. In
other respects the income tax law stands
as it was passed last August, but the re-
suit of the consultations in the supreme
court shows very conclusively that the
law easily be picked to pieces pro-
vided suits are brought to contest each
particular point as it comes up
1t is a curious fact, but none the less
true, that the law which was passed with
the dictation of the Populist wing of
the administration has been destroyed by
the decision of the United States supreme
court on constitutional grounds in such
a way that it will absolutely protect the
class of capitalists most offensive to the
Populist element
The landlords of the country will pay
no income tax. The owners of bonds of
almost any kind, either federal, state,
county or municipal, will also be free,
while the business man, the manufac-
turer and the salaried employe will, for
the present at least, be compelled to con-
tribute to the treasury of the United
States government 2 per cent Of all in
comes in excess of $4,000 per annum.
The first meeting of the supreme court
was held March 18th, two days after the
conclusion of the arguments, but no de-
cision was reached, and it was not until
March Both that they succeeded in agree
ing upon the outline of decision cover
ing the opinion of the lower court
The court was evenly divided. JUS
tice Jackson was too i'll to take part.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Field,
Gray and Brewer were opposed to the
law. Justices Harlan, Brown, Shiras
and White voted to sustain the law.
The expectation among members of
the court is that the decision will be
rendered Monday in open court. but there
is bare possibility that the court may
split up into irreconcilable sections and
hold up the decision.
If the next congress does not repeal
the law with the sanction of the presi.
dent, there will be a sudden rise in all
local public securities as we'll as of all
real estate, for as they will be exempted
from taxation, they should get the benefit
of the per cent which other income
producers are obliged to account for.

John CANT, young man aged 10 years,
employed as a clerk in the Leavenworth
National bank, stole ten packages of
money containing $4,000. He hid $4,000
of the amount in the bank and took the
remainder to his home. He had only
been in the bank as an employs six
weeks, and he was suspected of being
the thief soon after the money was
missed.
Friday the amount hid in the bank
was found Yesterday CANT was about
to leave town on a bicycle when he was
stopped by an officer, who was watching
him, and brought to the bank. de was
confronted with some plain evidence,
when he broke down and made a con-
fession He went with an officer to his
house, where the money was taken out
from behind a cupboard, where he had
secreted it, and it was found to be short
only 500. On account of the boys mother
being a widow he will not likely be pro-
secuted.

AUSTRALIAN BALLOT LAW.
Supreme Court Today Decides Two Cases
of Importance.

OF Importance.
The supreme court today decided two
cases relating to the operation of the
Australian ballot law One was from Leav-
enworth county and one from Labette
county, but they are both alike in points
of law.
In the Leavenworth county case John
F. Taylor, Democrat, and Joseph Bleak
ley received the same number of votes
for the Office of county treasurer They
cast lots for the office and Taylor, the
Democrat, won. BleaKley. the Republi
can, was not satisfied, and asked the dis
trict court to give him the Office on the
grounds that many of the ballots counted
for Taylor we're not properly marked, and
under the Australian ballot law these
should not be counted.
The district court decided in favor of
Bleakley, the Repu bl1can. and Taylor
appealed to the supreme court
The supreme court today decided in
favor of Bleakley and held that ballots
which are not properly marked with the
cross at the left of the name voted for in
the square provided for it, such ballots
can not be counted. The Republican will
hold the Office.
