Might Take It All.

Attorney Cochran insisted that if all
incomes were taxed in the same ratio
as that of the plaintiff, incomes Of
more than S250,000 would be subject to
a penalty of 10 per cent instead of the
present 5 per cent, those of 100000
or more to a penalty of 20 per cent,
instead Of 6: incomes of million
would be penalized 40 per cent. instead
of Z. A man with an income of S2,-
100000 year-and the lawyer said
there were several in the country
would be assessed 100 per cent, or, in
other words. would have to pay all in
come in excess of S2,500,000 into the
United States Treasury.
Thus, he argued. his client was not
granted the equal protection of the
law guaranteed BY the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution.
Mr. Mayer stated that the position
of the bank is that the law is Con
stitutional In his demurrer filed yes
terday he further contended that the
bonds constitute a civil contract in no
wise involving Federal laws, and that
the Federal Court, therefore, had no
jurisdiction.

Cockran's Argument.

In the presentation of his case At
torney Cochran asserted that the law
taxes only 423000 persons out of
population of 90,00G000, which tax he
said. was imposed on them without
their consent by the untaxed remain
der OF the population.
His clients income, he said, was
more than $4,000 year on which she
is taxed l per cent. on all in excess OF
49, and an additional tax of l per
cent on all above $4,000.
He asserted that if this ratio were
equtably pursued. the income from the
tax would be $750,0O0,000 a sum prac-
tically sufficient 10 defray all Govern
ment expenses. BY its present in
equalities. he added, the income tax
would not be much more than $780,
