CORP PORATION TAX
ISSUE DISCUSSED
Court of the United
States Hears Arguments of
the PrOteStantS.
TAN CLAIMED ILLEGAL
ON NUMEROUS GROUNDS
Principal Objection Alleged Is
infringement of State
Rights.

WASHINGTON. March l7.-For
four hours today the supreme court
Of the United States listened to argu.
mcnts on the constitutionality of the
corporation tax. Lawyers from various
sections of the country took part in
the argument. They were connected
with the fifteen cases in which rhc va
lditv of the tax is attacked, and which
had been consolidated into one cause
for this hearing. In each of these
suits, stockholders or policyholderS had
brought action to prevent corporations
from paying the tax. Without eNcep-
ton the lower courts held the tax con-
stitutjonal and dismissed the suits.
Maxwell Evarts of New York opened
the argument. He declared the tax
unconstitutional because it interfcrcd
with the powers Of the state by taxing
franchise; that il was arbitrary and
oppressive. because its publicity clause
took private property for public use
without compensation.
Former Senator Foraker of Ohio and
Richard V Lindsbury Of New York ad
dressed the court ON general features
Of the law, holding ii invalid.
Invasion of Rights
Mr.. Evarts devoted much Of his time
10 arguing that the law invaded the
sovereignty of the state.
" When the tax is made and the tax
is ascertalned thereby. and possibly the
tax paid. - said Mr.. EvGrts. tthe re.

section Of the constitution he claimed
was violated thereby.
Mr.. Eyarts said ii was that section
which prohibited the taking Of private
property for pubic purposes without
compensation.
Mr. Foraker argued at length the
question Of lust what the tax was laid
upon, Unlike MIR. Evarts, who argued
the tax was ON the franchise of n cor.

the publicity feature he became most
