INCOME DECISION
Chicago Paper Publishes What
PurpOrtS to Be an Out
line Of 1t.
IS ONLY PARTIALLY LEGAL
Taxation Of Rents, State and
Municipal Bonds UnC0n-
StitutiOnal.

CHICAGO, April GA special dispatch
to The Tribune from Washington, says:
The United States supreme court in the
income tax case, has reversed the de-
cision of the lower court, but the in.
come tax law as whole is upheld, but
only by divided court. Two import
ant portions of the law, however, have
been decided to be unconstitutional,
and they are so serious as to effect ma
terially not only the revenues of the
government, but the estimation in
which the income tax will be held by
the people.
Rents, State and City Bonds Exempt.
Under the decision to be handed down
by the court, all incomes derived from
rents are exempted from taxation by the
federal government, and all incomes
derived from state and municipal bonds
are similarly exempted. In other re-
spects the income tax law stands as it
was passed last August, but the result
of the consultations in the supreme
court shows very conclusively that
the law can be easily picked to pieces,
provided suits are brought to contest
each particular point that comes up.
A Curious Fact.
It is a curious fact, but none the less
true, that the law which was passed at
the dictation Of the Populistic wing of
a Democratic congress has been dis
torted by the decision of til United
State supreme court, clearly on consti-
tutiol al grounds, in such way that it
will absolutely protect the class of cap.
italists most offensive to the Populistic
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 businei man,
the manufacturer and the salaried en-.
ploye, will for the present, at least, be
compelled to contribute to the treasury
of the United State government 2 per
cent of all income in excess Of $4,000
per annum.
The first meeting Of the supreme
court was held March 16, two days
after the conclusion Of the arguments,
but no decision was reached, and it was
not until Match 80 that they succeeded
in agreeing upon the outlines of de-.
cision, covering the opinion of the lower
court.
Court Evenly Divided.
The court was evenly divided, Justice
Jackson being too i'll to take part. Justice
Fuller, Justices Field, Gray and Brewer
were opposed to the law. Justices Har-
lar, Brown, Shiras and White voted to
sustain the law. The expectation among
members of the court is that the
decision will be rendered on Monday
in open court, but there is a
bare possibility that the court may
again be split up into irreconcilable
sections, and hold up the decision. II
the next congress does not repeal the
law win :the sanction of the president
there will be a sudden rise in the price
of all local public securities, as we'll as
of all real estate, for, as they will be
exempted from taxation, they ought to
get the lelefit of the 2 per cent which
other income producers are obliged to
account to..
