Cornoratinn Tax Constitutional.

Washington, March, l5.-The con-
sliiutionality Of the Corporation tax
provision Of the Payne Aldr:ch larifi
Law, one OF President Taft 5 pet plans
for controlling corporations, was upheld
today by the L. $. Supreme Court IN 2
decision in fifteen cases arising in
various parts OF the United States.
The decision whicA was unanimous
was rendered by Justice Day.
The fifteen cases which were con
solidated and tried as one were brought
to the Supreme Court from the Federal
Courts Of Vermont, New York. Hi
uoi4, Ohio, Massachusetts and Mime
sofa, and included corporations en-
gagged in real estate business. mining
manufacturing, transportation, life in
suranca and merchandising.
In each case one or more OF the
stockholders applied to the courts Tor
ali injunction 20 restrain the officers Of
the corporation from paying the tax Oh
the ground that IL vas unconstitutional.
Justice Day il Announcing the
opinion, said be would only discuss q
few Of the main points ca which The
tax vas attacked First OF ali. he de-
clared that the contention that il VA;
unconstitutional because it originated
ia the Senate ia the form Of an amend
ment to the Payne Law, was intelsible,
because, notwithstanding the fact that
the constitution made THU provision,
it also provided for amendments in the
Senate.
1T has been urged that this is q
tax on the owners Of business" he
said. As we construe the statute il
is tax on the doing OF business, MOI
upon ownership.
This is an excise tax uron lh2
privilege Of doing business. 1t IS an
excise tax. The provision for an e5-
else tax in the constitution makes onlv
one stipulation that the tax shall lie
equal that IS geographicallT the sam5
all over the country.
1T is next contended, the uStice
continued" That the attempt taxa
ton is void because it levies tax
upon the right Of state to grant
corporate franchises, because it take;
franchises which are the creation OIL
state in lis sovereign right and au-
thorily.
I'VE think it is the result of cases
heretofore decided by this court arlivi-
ties, though exercised because Of state
created franchises, are not beyond
the taxing power Of the United States.
The corporation tax last year brought
in $50. go 7%5. a.

ably not more than fifty, and perhaps
only about thirtyfvs. OF those who

course, on the number Of periods and
also on tie policy of the department in
either dividing each states quota or
else of taking all from some states at \
