INCOME TAX LAW
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
ATTORNEY CLAIMS
Suit Brought in Illinois to
Test Recently Passed
Law-Will Be Test
Case

Chicago, December 3.-Charges that the
sncome tax section of the new tariff law
constitutes class legislation and is un-
constitutional We're made today in a test
suit filed here against the Continental and
Commercial Trust and Savings bank on
behalf of Miss Elsie DeWolf of New
York
The United States government probably
will be asked to aid in the defense of the
bill, according to Levy Mayer, counsel
foi the bank, who said he would seek
"a conference with Attorney General Nc
Reynolds to discuss carrying the action
to the United States supreme court for
ruling.
The declaration, filed by Bourke Cock
ian of New York and Colin Fyffe of Chi
cago for Miss De Wolf, alleged that the
tax violated the fifth amendment to the
constitution in that it deprived her of her
property without due process of law. and
that it violated the fourteenth amendment
in denying her equal protection under
the law.
Unjust Discrimination
The graduated scale of taxation, the
declaration alleged Disseminated unjust
ly against persons of incomes under $780,
000 year. usually gained from indus
trial and artistic pursuits in favor OF
those with incomes more than 100000
syear.
Miss DeWolf was an actress. She re-
tired from the stage in 1905 and is at
present in Paris.
The suit was brought to compel the
bank to pay the interest on 80 bonds of
a power company, which the bill stated
the bank had declined to pay unless Miss
DeWolf file a certificate of ownership as
provided by the income tax law. Damages
of $1,000 are asked in each of five counts.
Levy Mayer, attorney for the bank, said
the suit would be made a test case. He
also said he would probably confer with
Attorney General McReynolds and might
ask that the department of justice be rep
resented in the defense of the bill.
The plaintiff alleges that the income tax
is not uniform and that the law is there
fore Unconstitutional first, because it is
imposed on only 423,000 in population of
about $4,000, 900, and the persons who would
pay the tax have not consented to its i'm
position.
The tax violates the elements of equal
ity in it's graduated scale of taxation.
The plaintiff pointed out that She being
an unmarried woman, was subject not
only to a tax of l per cent on her whole
income in excess of $1,000, but was sub
iect to an additional tax of l per cent on
that portion exceeding $4,000 and less
than $4,000, an additional per cent be-
tween $50. 900 and $4,000, an additional l
per cent between $4,000 and 100000.

were taxed in the same proportion as the
plaintiff, those with incomes of $25OOOO
would be subject, ont to the additional
penalty of per cent, which this statute
imposes. but 10 per cent; those with in
comes of $4,000 a year would be subject,
not to penalty of per cent, but 30 per
cent: those with incomes of 81, 100000
would he subject not to the additional
per cent, but 40 per cent: and those with
incomes of $2,500000 and over, instead of
being subject to the penalty of per
cent which the statute imposes, would be
compelled to pay 100 per cent, that is the
entire excess of their incomes over 81
100000, into the public treasury"
The declaration continues that there are
several persons in the United States with
incomes of more than $2,500000 a year,
who could be compelled to pay a like
proportion of their incomes into the pub
lie treasury without hardship, while the
tax imposed hardship and deprivation on
those of smaller incomes
The complainant continued that penaliz
ing such incomes as the plaintiffs is un-
due severity, while in allowing possessors
of incomes exceeding 100000 to escape
with such wholly disproportionate
penalty" the tax undertook to deprive
her Of her property without due process
of law.

Frank the chubby Pelican chieftain, has
reached a compromise with the Nap
mogul and on January l he will sever all
connections with the New Orleans club
to become the southern agent of the
Cleveland Americans. This sudden and
peaceful end of the embroglio was en-
tirely unexpected as it was anticipated
that the Dutchman would resist to the
last the efforts of the Nap president to
oust him from the Pelican club.
Following close behind this announce
ment comes the report that Johnny
Dobbs, erstwhile manager of the Bilkens,
will lead the Pelicans next season, and
that kid Elberfeld will captain the team
and play shortstop. The rumor has not
been substanHated, but it is hoped that.
1t is true for Dobbs is an ideal man to
remedy the stagnant conditions that exist
in the Crescent city. During the past two
years the club has been torn by internal
dissession and during this time New Or
leans has deteriorated from a dividend
paying city to a guarantee town.
