CORPORATION TAX
CONSTITUTIONAL
Public Service Corporations, in
Essence, Are Private Corpora
tiOns, and Hence They Must
Come Under the Corpora
ton Tax Law.

WASHINGTON, ID. especial
The United States Supreme Court
holds that the corporation tax is
constitutional. The opinion was de-
Aivered by Associate Justice Day
The decision was unanimous.
The decision was sweeping in de-
tail. every objection being overruled.
Judge Day said in part;
This court deals only with the
constitutionality OF the tax. AS 10
public service corporations, II is
claimed that they exercised official
that they should not Do subject to
this tax
mo argument, however. can eIimi-
nate the fact that they are private
corporations. and that they are
merged for the benefit of the stock
holders, and that they must come I'M
der the corporation tax"
History of the Case.
II was as an adjunct to the Payne
Aldrich tariff law that the corporation
tax came into existence. The stand
patters and the high protectionists in
Congress suffered it's passage in the
hope that violent clamor against the
new tariff might be at least halted.
Senator Aldrich frankly stated in
the course of debate in the Senate
chat he expected It would be repealed
inside OF three years.
Many ot RI reactionary Senators
voted Tor Do because they were conf
dent that il would be declared uncon-
Btitutional when the corporation start
ed litigation over il.
The first suit to test the constitution
altty OF the tax was brought in the
Federal District Court in Vermont
January i, 1910. Ii was brought by
Stella !. I'Hnt. a stock holder in the
stone Tracey Company, TO restrain the
company from making returns on it's
business To the United States Trees
ury as required by the corporation tax
law.
In this first legal sIirmish the GOV
ernment won n decisive victory as the
conetitutioRality OF the law was sus-
tatned At the same time exactly SINH

decisions Of the lower Federal courts
