THE NEW INCOME TAX LAW
BY Burton X. Standish, of the United Press.
Representative Cordell Hull Says 1t
Double. Riveted' and Air Tight.

AS to the second contested feature
of the new law, which relates to tax
ing dividends" of insurance compan.
les, and which has provoked loud pro-
tests from the big insurance compan.
les OF the East and also reams of
newspaper vitriol, Hull said
I'm drawing that part of the bill we
used exactly the word prescribed in
federal court decisions, to prevent
any test of the law in the courts. If
you will examine the bill carefully
you will note that we declare that
! dividends of the insurance compan-
les are taxable. We did not use the
word revenue, or income, or proceeds
but the word dividends This has
been construed by the federal judi
ciary in the case of Knowlton versus
Moore, to mean the actual profits of
the companies, derived not fro mover
charges to policy-holders upon their
premiums, but on their actual pro
ceeds from investments, loans, real
Iestate rentals, etc. The courts decid.
ed that the question, of dividends is
a question of fact and not of law.
They declare that the facts must
necessarily be ascertained in each
particular case"
When asked how the actual oper-
alton of the insurance clause would
occur, Hull said:
The insurance companies in max
ing their income tax returns to the
federal authorities will deduct from
their taxable income all excess money
construed as oVercharges in premi-
ums upon policies. If the federal au-
thorities deem that the incomes of
the companies should include certain
payments to policy holders, constru-
ing each individual case upon its mer-
its, and contending that such pay
ments are not in fact premium over
charges but revenue from invested
capital e. dividends-the collector
can bring suit and cause actual ascer'
tainment of the facts in the case by
the federal courts"
Hull and the democratic leaders
take the position that the wealthy in.
surance companies should pay taxes
upon their incomes derived from
quick and big profits upon call
money" loaned in the New York stock
exchange and other Wall Street
sources. They save gigantic re
serves" built up by the companies,
and withheld from poiicy-holders,

Gals.
Much of the broadsides of criti-
cism of the new tax have come from
sources which declare that they favor
the BILL" said Hull. That is the
worst kind OF criticism-from pre-
tended friends"

THE BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM OF DEC
GRATING MINISTER'S GRAVES
is iNAUGuRATED BY REV. n. c.
MiLllCE, OF KELLOGG.
(From the Starr

Rev. H. C. Millice, former pastor of
the NJ. E. church Of this place, but
now of Kellogg, came over Thursday
of last week to visit friends and also
to attend to some work at the ceme-
terry. While here he began a new Gus
tom that is worthy of mention and
has received words of praise from all
who have spoken to him concerning
it. He used what is known as the
international Sunday School Flag"
it being undenominational as we'll as
to decorate the graves of those who
had been in the regular ministry. The
first graves upon which he placed the
flag was that of Rev. r. A. Allison,
who was pastor of the NJ E. church
here and died here in 1888, and who
was classmate of his in the Iowa
Conference. The other graves dec
Grated were Rev. John Potter, of the
NJ. E. church and Rev. Joseph Arnold,
Iof the Friends church. The plan Is
certainly a pleasing one to indicate
the graves OF ministers, as they GER
Itainly work under the motto on the
flag, by this Sign, Conquer" refer
ring to the red cross on the flag. The
flag is beautiful one, being made up
Iof red, white and blue, and the new
use to which it has been dedicated is
worthy of use in future years. AS the
Stars and Stripes on a grave indicate
the last resting place of a soldier if
our country, so by the simple plan in
whatever country you may be, the
sight of flag OF this character shall
indicate the grave OF minister Of
Jesus Christ
Some of the automobile enthusiasts

Washington. June 18.-Double-riv-
eted, alright, bomb-proof and safe
from any assaults! That is the con-
dition of the new income tax law, ac-
|cording to it's authors Representative
Cordell Hull, of Tennessee. He says
the bill is absolutely impregnable
against attack in the courts. 1t mas
been drawn with such care, Hull de-
clares, that no high-priced corpora
ton lawyer can pick a flaw in 1t
which might imperil its enforcement.
Reports that the new law was TO be
tested in the courts have reached Con-
Igress. Hull and the members OF the
House Ways and Means committee
which drew the new law declare that
if such attempts are made they will
meet with signal failure. They as
serted there was little ground for
alarm that such legal methods would
be resorted to, and the constitution
ality of the whole tariff bill was not
endangered. They admitted, of
course, that If the income tax feature
of the Wilson. Underwood bin was de-
clared void by the courts, the whole
tariff bill would 60 by the board and
ly new measure by Congress.
The two chief features of the bill
which have been under fire" said
Representative Hull to the writer,
ARE the clauses fixing the graduated
Itax-the surtax upon incomes accord
ing to their size-and the provision
for taxation of dividends of insurance
companies. Both are beyond criti-
Gism OF any fair-minded person, and
also beyond the reach of persons who
would attack their constitutionality
in the federal courts. The graduated
system of taxation has been approved
by the federal judiciary. The New
Jersey district court and the court OF
appeals for that circuit have sustain
ed the validity of such graduated
plans"
The New Jersey case tested the
graduated tax system as applied to
inheritance taxes squarely in point
with the similar system in the income
tax bill. The federal courts declared
in the inheritance tax cases that IL
was folly to assert that the govern
ment could not put into operation the
most equitable taxation system
known-that of taxing highest the
persons who are best able to meet the
tax This is exactly what the in
come tax bill will do; it will reach the
wealthy men who are best able to
bear the heavier burden of taxation.
II will also reach a whole lot of
wealthy men who have never con-
tributed their just share to the ex.
pense of maintaining the govern
ment" ~.
