Corporation Tax Cases Are In Controversy
Court Make It Doubtful as to What
Occupies in Litigation.

uent is an interested party, but there
is absolutely nothing in the cases in
dicating that it is one of the many
defendants in the suits. Necessarily.
when case Of this sort is presented TO
the supreme court of the United States
the government must defend the law.
1t did so. of course, but without being
named as a party to the suit. AS it
stands the suit involves a dispute be-
tween individuals and corporations.
Yet this unusual state of affairs is
just little more complex than this.
The individuals, who are suing the cor
porations, are themselves stockhold-
ers in the corporations. They asked
that the courts restrain the corpora
tions from paying a tax imposed by
the federal government. which the
corporation could not refuse TO pay as
the statute under which the tax is col
lected does not permit the corporation
any alternative, nor could ii bring
suit against the United States by MAX
ing the collectors of taxes the defend
ant.
Just to make things little more in
teresting and bewildering to the lay
mind. an attorney of New York. repre-
senting a large corporation, entered
his appearance in the case in behalf OF
the corporation. At the same time,
however, he takes isue with the gen
eral points involved on the sides of 9TH
err corporations and threw his argu
ment with that of the United States
The case as it stood, involved more
than thirty lawyers, each of whom
wished to be heard in support of sever
al arguments which had been ad
vanced. AS the time was limited by
the court to two days it was obviously
impossible for each and every attor.
ney to present his respective case to
the bench.
The explanation given at the depart
ment of justice for the peculiar turn
that affairs took, was almost as com
plicated as the situation which pre-
scented itself before the supreme court
although its judicial aspect was never
criticised or questioned by any mem

HEART POWER.
The man who best succeeds in his
work is the man who puts his heart
into his work.

his work and must have skill in do
ing it, but
Over and above skill and knowledge

and cannot pluck up enthusiasm. Be-
ing in the wrong place, he takes no
Joy in his task. He is at outs with
his job and hence puts no heart power
into it.
1t is a case Of the round man in the
square hole, or vice versa.
Note this: II you put circle inside
of square that touches at just four
points of contact or a square inside OF

One must be fitted to his work, like
his work, put satisfaction into 1t. To
succeed rightly he must use heart
force.
The man who closes heart" in his
job is likely to lose the job, which
may be good for the man.
A misfit. joyless worker cannot stand
in competition with one who is fired
by the redhot enthusiasm of joy in bis
job.
II you are in the wrong hole get out

Washington, D. c., March 26.-Unless
the Democrats of Indiana indicate
their choice for senator in state con.

and their chances for success will be

In my opinion, their success de-

Suits Filed in the Supreme
(5Y SIDNEY EsPEY.)


Washington. March ga peculiar
situation developed in the supreme
court Of the United States when the
government, through Solicitor Gener-
al Lloyd w. Biwers, filed his brief in
the corporation tax cases. which are
now pending before that body for final
consideration. Although it was filed
in strict conformity with legal proceed
ure, it has nevertheless been the source
OF general comment in legal circles
throughout the country, particularly
among members of the bar of the SD
preme court of the United States who
are generally familiar with the practice
obtaining before the tribunal, as to
just what position the United States
government occupies in the litigation.
This situation was brought about by
the appeal of number of corporations
from various circuit courts to the
United States Supreme court under the
recent act of congress, which levied a
tax of one per cent on the net incomes
of corporations. The act contemplat-
ed the payment of the revenue taxes
by March l last and specifically stated
that corporations not complying with
| the act should be fined not more than
$4,000.
Internal Revenue Commissioner Ca
bell, of the treasury department was
designated as the officer to collect the
tax through local revenue collectors
1t was also provided that this officer
should have discretionary powers in
imposing the fines on recalcitrant cor
porations. To further protect the of
ficers in collecting the tax, the Law
states that suits of injunction or judi
cial restraining orders could not be
served on collectors of taxes. Hence
the general opposition of corporations
| to the payment of the tax and also the
avidity with which it was paid by al
of the corporations in little less than
one months time.
Although the tax. it is thought, was
paid by all of the corporations. certain
| large stock companies resorted to the
courts to test the validity of the legis
| lation and to endeavor, il possible
to escape subsequent levies. Already
fifteen cases have been limited on The
docket of the supreme court of the
United States. and for the purpose O.
facilitating the adjudication of thu
points involved, were consolidated 81
that they could be heard as one case
According to the calendar the cases
were presented to the court on March

brief, which was presented by Solicitor
General Bowers, consisted of NOR
than 500 pages Of printed matter.

DIGGING DRAINAGE BITCHES
Rapid Progress Being Made on Work
Out of Thief River.

Thief River Falls. Mimi, Aug 80
Excellent progress is being made
on the large ditching projects in
eastern Marshall county, in Roseau
and western Beltrami. The construc-
ton of the smaller bitches in this
territory, the ones which are with
dry ditcher' machine, have been
retarded by reason of the dry season
The total of absence of water in
some of the drainage sections has
prevented the working of the
machines.
The ditchers owned aud operated
by the Northern Drainage company
have not ceased work since the
snow disappeared last spring. -
By the end of the year the larger
portion of the mains will have been
dug. These mains are so feet wide
and 10 feet deep and are really ca.
nails. They empty into the Thief
river. This is being dredged and
given 16-foot channel, in order to
carry the spring foods, which the
main bitches will throw into it in the
spring. :.
