Settling the Income Tax
THIS Is not the only time within recent years
that the final decree of the Supreme Court
has been affixed by one Justices casting vote
In the Wilson tariff bill the federal Govern
rlent laid its taxing hand upon incomes, and
to the crv of Unconstitutional the Judges
returned the indecisive answer OF a bench
divided four to four. Justice Jackson was then
near death in the South; but, with the courage
to be expected from one OF Lees old bT1SadlerS,
he resumed his gown that the highest tribunal
might be able to express a mind lhe case
was at once reheard. To the bowed hgure OF
the diving iurist the great lawyers argued as II
he alone sat on the da1S, and the attorney
General retired smiling; for he telt that ne
had convinced the decisive Judgment how GER
tainly incomes lay within the Government
control.
On the morning of the decision an illustriOuS
assemblage thronged the little chamber which
had echoed, when it was the old Senate, to the
fiery music Of Clay's tones and to the thun-
derous elOquence of Webster. The nine vener-
able figures seated themselves lmpreSslvely
upon the bench, and IN inverse order OF senior
ity delivered their opinions In a few minutes
the expectations OF the audience were reallEed'
and the Attorney General was proved, as
usual right; for Justice Jackson strained his
feeble voice to declare the act OF Congress 20
have been within its power. The crowd OF
Senators and officials began to press toward
the door: for of course this declaration OF the
one doubtful Judge settled the decision, and
no one wanted to hear the other judges repeat
what they had said before. The tax on incomes
held.
But before it could reach the door the crowd
paused agape, and an aStonlsh1nent never eX-
ceeded in any tribunal swept over the hall OF
the Supreme Court One OF the majority was
announcing a change OF mind Justice ShlraS
had seen a new light. Therefore, It was the
other side that had the majority, and the
bench stood. notwithstanding Justice Jack
sons new vote. not five to four IN favor OF the
law, but five 10 four against it. The smiling
Attorney General dropped into his seat aghast.

But those were davS when the Constitution

and Pittsburgh made a waIllng up 10 heaven
for not until the Civil War were they able to

Slight movement of Ross S chair could be heard

United States.
Selecting the Capital
THAT these memorable contests were decided
in the beautiful city by the Potomac and
not at some spot near the headwaterS OF tie
Delaware or the SuSquehanna, was itself due
to a single vote. The first struggle that shook
the halls of Congress was over a location tor
the national capital. Upon the respective
charms of the Pennsylvania and Virginia rivers
the houses deadloCked, and the Government
had been organized for over a twelvemOnth
without being a BILE 10 persuade the antagon1St1c
chambers to give it permanent home
But when Secretary Alexander Hamilton
asked Secretary Thomas Jefferson to dinner,
forces capable of creating empires had laid their
hands on this geographical puzzle. and with
the second bottle OF port compact was rat1-
fed, by which the author of the Declaration OF
IndependenCe was to secure Southern votes
for the great finance minister's all embracing
revenue plans, and in return the flarCler was
t turn some NOrtherners to a Cap.,al city
south of Chesapeake Bay. The bargain was
performed. In the House of RepreSent1t1ve
several NirginlanS. to the CONSERVATION II their
colleagues, reCeded from a hitherto vigorous
opposition to the hated refunding bill, and,
Joining New England and the Hudson, speeded
that concealed engine of monarchy across to

delay courted down No sooner had the two
Pennsvlvau1a Senators beheld that coveted
financial measure safe within the doors OF the
upper chamber than they awakened to sense
of Pennsylvania's inadequaCy as the site for a
perpetual federal capital. and outvled the
Shareholders IN q loud insistence upon the
felicity of the PotOmacS northern bank.
The transfer of these two votes broke the
Susquehanna prepOnderance III the Senate,
and, as the Cabinet ministers had planned
round their historic dinner table, without
vote to spare a bill was sent up to the Presl-
