COTTON FUTURES LAW uNcoN.
sTIrurIoNAL. %

a recent decision by 4 New York
FEDERAL court declaring the Smith
1ever law on trading In cotton futures
unconstitutionsl. was thought by
some to refer to the smith-Lever act
oppropriating government funds to be
expended by agricultural colleges In
furlhering the cause Of scientific farm
methods and rural betterment. II is
entirely different law. however. and
the decision Is thus edItorially com.
mented upon by the Houston Post:
In q decision by Federal Judge
Charles N. Hough. OF the Southern
District OF New York. the cotton fn-
lures act Of August II. 1914. known
% the smith-Lever law, which I'M
posed tax OF &c a pound upon all
transactions in cotton for future de-
livery. was declared unconstitutional.
Under the decision. II sustained by
the higher courts in case OF appeal
By the government. all OF the money
collected under the Law win have to
b refunded.
The suit alleged that the act was
unconstitutional. first. because II
originated In the Senate instead Of
The lower House. and second. because
ne law taxed the manner Of perform.
Ing the transaction Instead Of the
tTansaction itself. Judge Housh sus-
tanned the first contention under
authority Of the clause Of the consti.
tuition which provides that all bills for
raising revenue must originate in the
House. but gave no finding on the
second. The government contention
that the act was designed to prevent
speculation In cotton material was
held to be immaterial as TO legislative
intent. as Congress had labeled the
act tax measure.
THAT the decision will stand the
test Of the higher courts may be rea-
oonably assumed as the constitution
b very plain In defining the sole
originating power Of the House in all
matters pertaining 10 revenue.
"But aside from this. the decision
q the court ih'holdIng the question
of intent immateriaf In matter az
fectine the authority aof the House
10 originate tax measures suggests
the weight Of judicial Interpretation
Of the constitution as opposed to the
tendency to abuse the. taxing power
By the indirect method OF seeking to
cure evils instead Of Congress pur-
suing It's power Of direct legislation.
In this view II may be reasonably
concluded that the court comedies
with the fundamental principle OF
TAXATION which sound democracy has
always supported. that the taxing
power exceeds Its authority when II
abandons 10 true function and abuses
that function by broadening out into
the field Of remedial legislation under
the guIse Of raising revenue for the
support Of the government.
Moreover. sound principles Of trade
support the view that the tax Of &c a
pound upon transactions for the IN
ture delivery Of cotton placed a dis
eliminating burden upon legitimate
dealing in a commodity that expert.
enee has shown Is price-sustaining
rather than the reverse"
