FIGHT IN SUPREME COURT
ON FEDERAL INCOME TAX
Papers Are Filed In First Attack
on ConstitutiohaIity OF
Measure
THREE MAIN REASONS NAMED
Action Brought by Dodge Brothers,
of Detroit, Promises to BE One OF
Most Important Cases Before Trib-
unal Next Term.

WASHINGTON. June 26-Papers
wero filed here to-day in the first at
tack in the Supreme Court on the con-
stitutionality of the Federal income
tax. which promises to be the most
important case before the court next
term. Counsel for John +. and Horace
e. Dodge. OF Detroit. filed a brief Of
argument attacking the surtax OF In
come of individuals.
Three main reasons were assigned
for claiming the surtax provision of
the law is invalid. Stockholders In
corporations, il is asserted. when com
putting their surfaces. arc subjected
to liability for the gains and profits
Of the corporation which have not
been divided or distributed It is
charged also that the provision vests
I'm the Secretary OF the Treasury an
arbitrary power of determining, with
out hearing, whether any corpora
ton has accumulated greater UNI
divided surplus than is reasonable for
the needs of tho business
a third reason is that the provision
permits corporations to accumulate
and withhold from surtax such part
OF their profits as may be reasonably
necessary for the needs and purposes
OF the business. and does not accord
such business privilege to individuals
and partnerships 1t is urged that
corporations are thus favored by
most invidious discrimination"
The brief urges that Congress can
only tax income and not real or per-
sonal property. 1t is commended that
Congress can make no distinctions as
to the source OF income.
If Congress has such power. some
very popular Determinations" are
within its reach, the brief asserts
ut would be very popular in Home
quarters" II says. TO levy higher
rate on incomes derived from the man
ufacturer of liquors. Another popular
discrimination would be to increase
the rate on income from oil and steel
and automobile corporations. And
Just before each congressional or
presidential election the demand for
n lower rate on incomes derived from
agricultural pursuits would be irresist-
able"
The case was begun to prevent the
collector OF internal revenue at De-
troit from collecting a surtax on each

Federal District Court held the tax

CONDITIONS DAILY
ARE GROWING WORSE


WASHINGTON. Juno 26.-New de-
velopments in tho Mexican situation
indicating that conditions are daily
growing worse instead OF better. are
causing officials Of the State Depart
ment grave concern. These are:
Uncertainty as to the fate of Mexico
City. The wires were cut on June u.s.
| and since that day tho department has
had no advices from the capital.
News OF increasing unrest in Yucca
tan, which has caused the Navy De-
partment to instruct Admiral Caper-
ton to stop at Progreso with the
cruiser Washington. on his way to
Cape Haiticn.
Official advices from Vera Cruz, stat
ing that the city has sufficient water
for four days only. and that the au-
thoritics have been compelled TO order
the rcopening of surface wells, which
were closed years ago for sanitary
reasons
Additional Red Cross adviccs regard
ing the growing distress throughout
the country, which state that from
present indications, the people Will be
naked as we'll as hungry" when winter
arrives. unless peace is established in
the meantime.
CONFLICTING REPORTS
REACH WASHINGTON
The State Department announced to-
day that there were CONFLICTING re-
ports regarding the responsibility for
the interruption of communication of
Mexico City. General Carranza states
that 1t is due not SO much to military
operations of the Constitutionalist
forces as to the fact that Zapatistas
have destroyed the line General Car
rama states that he is willing to do
what he can to facilitate telegraphic
service OF the diplomatic corps"
In the absence of knowledge OF con-
ditions in the Mexican capital, the de-
partment pins its faith on assurances
from Carranza that. in tho event OF
lighting in the City Of Mexico. the in
tcrests OF noncombatants, whether ma
uvcs or foreigners. will be looked af-
ter. In statement to-day IL said:
The department Is in receipt of no
definite reports concerning the opera-
lions OF General Carranza's forces out
side Of Mexico City, but it would ap-
pear. from the meager reports re-
ceived. that General Zapata is pre-
pairing to offer some resistance with
his military forces"
PEOPLE IN VERA CRUZ
VERY MUCH CONCERNED
The department was informed to-
day from Vera Cruz that the peoplo
there are much concerned over the
silence Of the authorities regarding the
Mexico City campaign. Reports that
General Gonzales has been defeated in
his attacks on the zapatista lines near
the capital have reached Vera Cruz
The villa agency to-day gave out
statement that Hucrtistas are
Hooking back to Mexico. II was re-
ported that Victoriano Huerta was with
party passing through Ell Paso. In
formation was received also that Gen
eral Angeles. one of Villas principal
generals, and the man who is regarded
as the choice OF the State Department
for ruler Of Mexico, will arrive here
on Friday.
The latest report from Admiral How
ard, in command on the west coast, is
that the Yaqui and Maya Valleys are
quiet.
