sag In part:
TT the Legislature--I take the lib
erty of calling our attention to the
pending amendment to the Constitu-
ton of the United States, which grants
to the Congress of the United States
the right to impose q tax upon incomes.
1t seems to me of the utmost impor-
tance that this power should be be-
slowed in unmlstakable terms upon the
Congress of the United States. The
jurists who first interpreted the Con-

that this power might legally be ex-
ercised by the Congress of the United
States, under the terms of the Consti-
tuition as 1t stands, out later decisions
have so embarrassed the exercise of
that power by restrictions as TO render
it practically nugatory.
THE limitations which under these
decisions are imposed upon the tax
ing power OF the federal government,
practically deprive the Congress of a
free choice of the sources from which
the income necessary to support the
government is to be derived. They
put the taxing owe in a strait
