VEST ON INCOME LAW.
The Missouri Senator Scores the Supreme
Court Decision.


Senator George g. Vest, of Missouri,
made speech in the Senate January
Tin which he referred to the Supreme
court decision in the income tax case
as follows:
"The Wilson act, as it is called, which
was enacted by both houses of Congress
and became @ law without the sigma
ture of the President, would have fur
nlShed ample revenue to conduct this
government, with a small surplus be-
sides. If that law had not, as to be-
tween $40,OO0,0OO and $50,OO0,0OO Of
taxation, been declared invalid by the
Supreme court of the United States,
there would have been no deficit In the
treasury, as every intelligent man must
cOncede. That the Supreme court
made this decision was matter of sur
prise to every intelligent lawyer in the
United States, and especially to those
Of us engaged in the legislation Of the
country.
''I shall observe the laws of deco
rum and of comfy between the CO.
ordinate branches of the government,
but shall not conceal my opinion Of
that decision, even Of the highest judi
Cial tribunal in the land.
'In my judgment, no decision by |
the Supreme court of the United |
States has done so much to weaken the
influence Of that tribunal and to excite
the distrust Of the masses of the Amer
lean people, including thoughtful and
intelligent lawyers, as that rendered in
the income tax casts. 1t had always
been believed and claimed, as one of
the chief excellences in our federal
constitution. that whatever might be
the Vacillations and uncertainties of
inferior tribunals, the citizen could
rely, with absolute confidence, upon
the stability of the great court of last
resort. It's judgments, formed after
elaborate argument, in the calm and
paSslonless atmosphere of judicial
equsnimity, were supposed to be above
the sudden and capricious changes
which often represent the prejudices Of
individual judges. That the Supreme
court has reversed its decision, un-
broken for hundred years, upon q
question vitally important to the sd-
ministration Of the government and to
all it's citizens, and that this reversal
has placed the legislative department !
in the attitude of having, through ig-
n0rance or recklessness, violated the
constitution, must cause the deepest {
concern to all who are sincerely at J

"a teacher should be willing to an

men arose and asked for fur
ther information, but he turned
his back and slipped of
the stage, and by direction of his man

out by policemen. He could have made
himself very interesting on number
of points, which he persistently ig-

Gov. Altgeld quotes from speeches by
Carlisle in congress in 1878, in discuss
ing the monetary question, in which
Mr. Carlisle is shown to have been in
favor of silver. He then takes up the
