Washington. Jan. 26.--That the
president is seriously concerned over
the organization OF the National Pro-
gressiye republican league. and that
be fears that II will result In a serious
fight over the presidential nomination
next year, was the story which more
than one visitor to the white house
brought away with him Tuesday.
A large number OF callers talked
the mater over with the president
They said that very frankly warned
him that there was strength in the
powerful sentiment behind the mcyc-
ment OF the progressive leaders. and
that this would certainly have to be
reckoned with when the Lext cam

Supreme Court Decision in Cor.
poration Case 10 Pave Way
DON'T WANT TO PAY TAX
II the Court Wipes OHt the Pollock
Case Barrier There viii be an In.
come Tax. Measure Introduced With
Least Possible Delay and Pushed
by Progressires.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The income
tax question may be back with con
gress before congress realizes what
has happened.
II the full hopes of the department
of justice are realized, the supreme
court viii reverse the famous ole
Pollock case when it decides the cor.
poration tax case, and open the way
to re-enact an income tax law with.
out waiting for constitutional
amendment
That the last tribunal will decide In
favor of the corporation tax statute
is the confident expectation. The ar.
guments Of the case were followed
with close interest by many members
of congress and eminent lawyers, and
there is no doubt that the great ma
jorty of them think, the law will be
sustained.
This is not by any means tanta-
mount 70 assurance that the Pollock
case will be oyerruled and reversed
In the Pollock case the court over
turned the former income tax statute
While some of the lawyers rested
their opposition to the corporation
tax largely on the Pollock case, 9TH
ers attacked from very different an
giles, and a remarkable complexity OF
legal views developed.
But. as Solicitor General Lehman
pointed out in his closing argument
for the law, hey were all agreed on
just one point, that they didn't Want
to pay the tax.
1t Is pointed out, however, that Il
the court as reconstructed should de-
'sire so TO do It could take occasion
in the coming decision to reverse the
old Pollock case. Doing that, II
could clear away the objection to i'm
mediate enactment Of an income tax,
and there is already consideration OF
the possible results of such decision.
II the court wipes out the Pollock
case barrier there will be an income
tax measure introduced with the least
possible delay. and it will be pushed
with all the force the progressiyes
can muster. II will not come until
next session, but with the democrats
in control Of the house and democra-
tic-insuTgent combination handsomely
dominating the senate there would be
no difficulty about passing the meas
ure in the next congress.
VIII Have Majority.
After March 4 there will be, il is
reckoned, at least eight majority in
the senate for the tax. Why wait for
an amendment to the constitution ii
that amendment is rendered unneces-
sary?
That Is what democrats are asking
and progressive republicans agree
The democratic problem or revising
the tariff would be solved IL they could
use the income tax tp produce their
revenue. That is what some OF ;helv
astute leaders are hoping to do, and
there Is very good chance, in III
opinion OF lawyers, That the supreme
court will open the way for them hy
reversing the Pollock decision.
