JUSTICE WHITES VIEWS.
He Says the Court Has Struck 81 Blow
at the American PeonIe.

Justice White stated his views briefly.
From first 10 last. he said. the opinion OF
the majority was but a series Of contradict
tory propositions, one eating up and de-
stroying the others In stating the grounds
upon which he dissented from the majority
Justice White laid great stress on the Hyl-
ton case and accommodated the legal points
he had made i'm his first dissenting opin-
ion. In conclusion Justice Whites opin-
ion said:
The injustice of the conclusion points
10 the error of adopting il. Ii takes in
vested wealth and reads il into the Con-
stitution as favored and protected class Of
property. whilst il leaves the occupati ton of
the minister, the doctor, the professor, the
lawyer, the inventor, the author, the mer-
chant and all the various forms of human
activity upon which the prosperity of a
people must depend subject TO taxation
without appOrtionment. The absolute in
equality and injustice of taxing by reference
or population and without regard to the
amount Of wealth taxed are so manifest
that TO admit the power to tax and TO
limit IL 10 this mode substantially denies
the power itself. since il imposes d re-
striction which renders its exercise prac-
tically impossible
few extemporaneous remarks were
made by Justice White after the reading
Of his written opinion. He spoke of the
decision. as blow struck at the American
people, and said that the power or levy
ing an income tax now left could only be
exercised by such injustice that no legis-
lative body would dare attempt 10 exercise
II, for such an attempt would bring for
ward bloody revolution.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
TOLEDO, o., May 2o.-Toledo and In
dianapols to-day played the game that had
originally been scheduled for Aug. II and
the result was as might have been ex-
pected-another victory for the visitors
They had TO work hard for this one, how
ever, and il is claimed by local enthusiasts
that If O'Brien had been less partial TO
Indianapolis another Toledo defeat would
not have 10 be recorded. Certain it is that
OBrien is failure as an umpire, how
ever good his intentions may be: but it
would not do to blame him wholly for the
loss of to-day's game 10 the home team. Mr..
Watkins's men played a shade better ball
than their opponents. and luck-that all
important factor-seemed TO be with them.
The contest was in doubt until the last
Toledo batter retired in the ninth.
Both Fisher and Damon pitched splendid
ball. but although there was less hit
made off his delivery than off eF'isher.
Damon could not keep indianapolis from
punching in the sixth and that was where
the game was lost and won. In the first,
after Hogan and Mccarthy has been re-
tired, Newell singled and scored on Con-
nor's tumble of Canavans grounder and
on MOTIFS hit to center. Motz was put
out while trying TO stretch the hit into
u two-baser. In the sixth Hogan. the first
man up, hunted and easily beat the throw
to first. Mccarthy and Newell sacrificed
and Hogan came i'm. Canavan hit for two
bases and MOTIFS single to right sent Cana
van i'm with the last and what proved TO
be the winning run. With Hogan up first in
the eighth it looked as if the visitors would
again score, but Hogan struck out and New
ell and Caravan persisted at first, leaving
Mccarthy on third. For no apparent reason
Manager Watkins took Gettinger out of the
game in the seventh and substituted Nicol.
The latter was only once at bat and had
nothing to do in the field. The feature
of the game was a phenomenal catch by
Mccarthy of Connor's hit back of second

he should entertain a grave doubt wheth-
err in view of the definitions of a direct
tax given by the courts and writer's upon

tax the burden Of which is borne. both
Immediately and ultimately, by the person

the clause requiring direct taxation 10 be
apportoned TO the population has no APP
piication to taxes which are not capable OF
apportonment according to population. IL
could not be supposed that the convention
could have contemplated practical inhi-
hilton upon the power OF Congress TO tax
in some way all taxable property within
the jurisdiction of the federal government
for the purpose OF a national revenue.
Justice Brown. in conclusion, said: Re
spect for the Constitution will not be in
spired by a narrow and technical construc-
zion which shall limit the necessary pow
ers of Congress. The decision involves
nothing less than the surrender OF the
taxing power 10 the moneyed class. While
I have no doubt that Congress will find
some means OF surrounding the present
