REBUKE FOR BREWER.
Justices Income Tax Views Utterly
Absurd. SAYS Senator Brown.

CharacteriZing as utterly ridiculous,
absurd and senie" the statement ac-
credited to Justice David J. Brewer of
the supreme court of the United States
in his recent Milwaukee speech to the
effect that under a national income tax
law states would be taxed not only
out of their existence. but out of their
vitality" Senator Brown of Nebraska.
author of the first resolution to refer
the question to state legislatures, said
the other day:
Il cannot believe that the report
contained in the morning papers Is
correct. 1t puts Justice Brewer in the
position of contending that if the fed
eral government has the power TO tax
incomes such power will be taken
away from the states. In no way, I'M
der no circumstances, would the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
give the federal government power to
tax any state out of either existence
or vitality. The tax would be laid
under the proposed amendment on
the incomes of the citizens of all states
for federal purposes alone, and the
amendment would in no way with
draw from the states the power they
already have to tax incomes for state
and municipal purposes"
Senator Brown said he thought there
must have been some mistake in the
report of the Justices speech.
''In my Judgment, every state In the
T-pipn will ratify tho ampndnpnt at
its first opportunity" continued the
senator. The, present agitation all
over the country looking to the calling
of special sessions Of the legislatures
for the purpose of ratifying the amend.
ment is conclusive evidence that the
public minds are aroused upon the
question and determined that congress
shall have the power to lay and col.
lect taxes on Incomes"
