WALL STREET BACK
OF STUBBORN FIGHT

millionaires fought the income tax
feature of the democratic Wilson meas
ure until the supreme court held the
legislation unconstitutional as being a
direct tax.
The fight now being waged can al
most be traced to the same indlvidu-
ais who were aroused II years ago
John D. Rockefeller, and j. P. Morgan.
Rockefeller and Morgan now find
themselves in a better position to
throttle an income tax than they were
in 1894. Senator Aldrich, chairman of
the finance committee, may be depend
ed upon to prevent the income tax
amerlment, from being enacted into
law if such thing is within the range
Of rOss 'bilities. Mr.. Morgans former

The Wilson bill provided for a two
per cent tax on all incomes of more

than 5000. The manner in which the
supreme court held against the bill
was such as to amount to a national
scandal. Many democrats as we'll as
renublicans express the belief that II
an income tax bill should be passed
now the supreme court would sustain
it.
The Wilson income tax was popular
throughout the south and west, but
was bitterly opposed by the eastern
capitalists, who would have been re-
uuired to pay tax on their fortunes.
Their position was that the govern
ment should, raise its revenue through
the tariff on foodstuffs and articles OF
general consumption.
Az soon as the Wilson bill became
a law preparations were made to col
lect the tax Blanks were printed, and
while they were being distributed to
the various collecting offices test cases
were prepared and rushed to the SUI
preme court.
The circumstances under which the
decision was handed down caused deep
feeling throughout the United States. A
partial decision had been rendered on
April 8. 1895. in which that part of
the law which taxed values derived
from land and from state or munich
pal bonds was held unconstitutional. A
final decision was deferred until Mr.
Justice Jackson, who was ILL., could
recover When the latter recovered
and rendered his opinion the decision
was finally handed down which pro-
nounced the income tax unconstitu-
tional as being a direct tax.
On April Mr.. Justice Shiras stood
favorable to the constitutionality OF
the law, but he later went over to the
other side Had he not done so in the
eleventh hour the opinion of Justice
Jackson on May 20 would have re-
suited in the court standing five to four
in support of the income tax. AS 1t
was after Justice Shiras' change or
view the court stood against the IN
come tax by a vote of five to four.
Justices Harland, Brown, Jackson and
White voted in favor of the constitu-
tionality of the tax, and Justices Full
Ter. Brewer. Field, Graw and Shiras
against it.
A feature Of the situation which eX-
cited considerable adverse comment
was LndL IN 1901 the SUPREME SOUi'
had decided with no dissenting opinion
that an income tax on rents was not
a direct tax within the meaning of the
constitution, but an excise tax and
hence permitted to the general govern
ment. Thus the court, by majority OF
one opinion, had reversed decision
that had stood for Is years.
Justices Harlan and White, in dis
senting opinions. used more caustlc
language than is generally found In

of the highest tribunal

from national taxation not only all in

country-invested personal property,
bonds. stocks, investments of all kinds
and the income that may be derived
from such property. This results from
the fact that under the decision of the
court, such incomes can not be taxed

NEW YORK FASHION LETTER I
BY
Madame Catherine Mann Payzant :


NEW YORK, April 29.-Women who
are planning to spend the summer in
the country are having made up little
morning dresses of dotted Swiss or
Persian lawn on very simple lines;
with tucked skirt, laid in fine tucks
over the hip and joined to a simple
bodice by a waist belt Of embroidery.
A band of embroidery outlines a
shallow square or round neck and
forms cuffs on the long sleeve.
Sometimes two bands of the en-
broidery are carried down at either
side of the bodice, under the en-
5roidery belt and over the skirt as
far as the knee, where they slope to
point toward the center front.
This makes a panel effect and gives
frOck
Not within our memory have frocks
for summer been as beautiful, and
with as much artistic value as this
season.
No woman really understands the
word comfort until she wears the
lingerie garments known as combina-
ton, which come in all sorts of white
fabrics-elaborated with lace and rib
bon, or simply edged with lace.
Skirts gathered into the hips,
though made as yet only in diaphan-
Gus materials, tell the story of tomor- |
rows styles. Such gowns were the

most striking novelty of the openings
this year. Everyone was prepared
for an increase of width at the hens
of the skirts, but little thought had
been given to the revival of fullness
at the waist as yet. Shirred skirts
are the coming thing, though they
may not be much in evidence for
twelve-month To this hour the Span

silks, like foulard or messaline
Deep pointed waist lines are in evil
dence among evening gowns, which
are always seekers for quaint touch
es That they will be general within
a year there is little doubt. Just now
most of the evening gowns have waist
lines a little above normal height, but
not conspicuously high Some of the
smartest ones, to be sure, are made
in Empire and Directoire styles as
yet, and many are straight around.
1t is a day of great laxify of style,
and women are making the most of it.
The predictions of the return of
panniers have in no way abated; but,
on the contrary, everything points to
such effects for another season. The
latest word from headquarters, which
is capricious Paris, claims that sheath
skirts and empire styles are dead and
awaiting burial. Skirts, it holds, are
wide at the hem, now wide is only
governed by personal dictum. But
this does not mean bouffant appear
ance. On the contrary, gowns are
every whit as straight of line as ever.
This is largely due to the suppleness
Of materials Powered brocades and
damask patterns are a natural conse
quence with such styles, but textures
will be as thin and supple as ever, if
all that one hears is true. Plain ma
terials-laces, nets and gauzes en-
broidered with gold, silver, beads and
gems-will undoubtedly increase rath-
er than diminish in vogue.
A simple style of dress is by far
the prettiest and most appropriate
for children's wear during the sum-
/ mer months. Most mothers realize
this, for the overdressed and berih-
boned little girl is now scarcely seen.
A number of pretty dresses plainly
made and of inexpensive materials
will give much more satisfaction than
two or three elaborate frocks in which
child fears to romp about on ac-
count of the fine texture and frail en-
brOideries.
Lawns and dimities are now so in
expensive, and come in such dainty
colors and designs, that any mother
having sufficient spare time will en-
joy planning and making the dear lit
tie garments The ready-made frock
is a boon to the over-busy mother, but
it never has the air of the little dress

which taste and sentiment has been

wicked injustice to the many for the
benefit of the favored few in partic-
ular states. Any attempt on the part
of congress to apportion taxation of
incomes among the states upon the
basis of their population, would, and
properly ought to, arouse such indig-
nation among the freemen of America
that it would never be repeated. No
one should doubt this statement

judges, as it does now adjudge, that
congress can not impose a tax or duty

from invested personal property,

be made to contribute to the support

constitution, this court, for the first
time in all it's history, declares that
our government has been so framed
that in matters of taxation for it's sup

money derived from the renting of real
estate or from the leasing or using of
tangible personal property, or who
own invested personal property, have
privileges that can not be accorded to
those who have money derived from

else of their skill, or the use of their
brains"

VERY FLATTERING
All Previous Records Will Be Broken 3,400 Feet of Floor Space is
 Being Added.

The Tyler Commercial College of Tyler, Tex, has now the larg- est summer attendance in its his- tory, and from present indications its fall attendance will far surpass that of any previous year. The indications are so strong that we are adding to our already two large buildings 3,400 feet of floor space, to accommodate the great crowd of new students that will soon begin coming in. Some ask why we have more students in daily attendance than any other four schools in the state combined. The answer is simple: In the first place, we have the exclusive coutrol of the famous Byrne Sim plified Shorthand and Practical Bookkeeping, and these systems alone eutitle us to patronage far beyond that of any other com- mercial school. With these sys- tems we can turn out a better bookkeeper or stenographer in half the time and at half the cost required by other schools teaching other systems. This is a great saving of time and expense to any student. In our Telegraphy ' department we have the Cotton Belt Train Wire, all station blanks and record books, all Vest ern Union Supplies, something not found in any other school of telegraphy. In the second place. this institution is managed by successful business men. We own our buildings, have them equipped with over $l9,000 worth of supplies; we employ the best teaching talent to be had. Our school is SO large that we can classify and systemize our work far beyond the possibilities of a small school. We have won a reputation for placing our grad uates with responsible firms, at good salaries, with good promo tion ahead. We long ago learned that the success of our institution depended upon the success ot our graduates, so it is our first aim to see that the student is thoroughly qualified; our second aim li to see that he has the very best po- sition that we can obtain for him. fiis excellent work, his financial success, recommends our school to his friends.
