LAST WORDS BY
THE ATTORNEYS
SUPREME COURT TAKES UNDER
CONSIDERATION CASES IN
WHICH CORPORATION TAX
QUESTION AROSE.

Washington, March 1S.-The last
work by the lawyers was said this
afternoon on the constitutionality of
the corporation tax provisions of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law, and the su-
preme court Of the United States took
fifteen cases In which the question
under consideration arose.
The second day of the argument
on the tax was cunsumed largely by
the presentatino of the governments
defence of the law by Solicitor Gen.
eral Bowers.
William ID. Guthrie of New York,
led flank movement with. the OBJ.
ject Of procuring decision from the
court holding that the tax is not 70
be collected on income from national,
state or municipal bonds and property
|of corporations not actively employ.
ed In bushes
John G. Johnson Of Philadelphia,
closed the attack on the tax just be.
fore the court adjourned.
His principal argument was ad-
dressed TO proving that the tax was
an income and therefore not an excise
tax, according to famous tax de-
cis!ons,
