COLD COMFORT FOR MOTHER
Comment of Boston Belle on Young
Mans Conduct Was Icy in the
Extreme.

General F. d. Grant, at Wash
toms birthday dinner in New York
some years ago, told story about
young Boston Tory.
This Tory" he said, fought during
the Revolution neither on one side nor
on the other. He took a pleasure trip
on the continent, and he didn't come
back home again until the war was
over.
He was treated very coldly by soci-
ETY. on his return, and this grieved his
good old mother to the heart.
1.-THE dear old lady tried to explain
the matter one afternoon to Boston
belle.
Naturally, as the head of the fam
ily,' she said, my son could not take
part in the war; To him fell the duty,
perhaps the more arduous duty, of
protecting his mother and sisters and
looking after the interests of the es-
tate
"'Oh, madam, said the belle, with
an icy smile, you need not explain.
assure you, I'd have done exactly as
your son did-Pm such coward!'"

Income Tax Not a Property Tax.

income ak MOT TTOPCILJ a0>'
Action on the motion for q rehear-
ing Of the so-called income tax case
will probably be taken by the supreme
court soon after it's next meeting on
March IL. Briefs for the rehearlng
were filed with the court by Carpenter
& Poss of Milwaukee, also the states
reply by Deputy Attorney General
Russell Jackson.
While the plaintiff makes other
points against the law it says:
'"The capital contention under this
head (the fourteenth amendment)'
however, we would state as follows:
"The fourteenth amendment prohib-
it's states from levying graduated tax
es on property; and despite the amend
ment to the Wisconsin constitution 1t
is property within the meaning OF the
fourteenth amendment upon which this
act does levy graduated tax"
In it's reply to the motion Tor re-
hearing the state denies the conten-
ton of the plaintiff that an income tax
is tax on property, saying in part:
cit is argued that our constitution
does not distinguish taxation or IN
come from that of property, because
income is classed with privileges and
corporate franchises are privileges
which are property. But the word
privileges In the amendment means
privileges to follow employments or
business by special permission or IL
cense. Taxation of privileges and oc-
equations are always treated together
as distinct from property ttGzstt"n.
