ATTACK INCOME TAX
/ IN SUPREME COURT
Detroit Men File Brief Com
t planning Against Surtax
on individuals.
Is. EXPECTED TO BE
MOST IMPORTANT CASE
Corporation Stockholders Subjected
to Liability for Gains and Prof
its Not Distributed.

Papers were filed yesterday in th'
FIRST attack In the Supreme Court ot
the United States on the constitutional
ity of the federal income tax. which
promises to be the most important case
, before the court next term. Counse
for John F. and Horace F. Dodge O.
: Detroit. Mich. filed a brief of argu.
ment attacking the surtax on income
of individuals
Three main reasons were assigned
for claiming the surtax provision ol
the law is invalid Stockholders IL
corporations, it is asserted, when com
putting their surtaxes. are subjected tC
liability for the gains and profits OF
the corporation which have not beer
divided or distributed
ITO tax a stockholder on prospective
dividends which he may never receive
can only be properly characterized as
SO utterly absurd as to induce levity,'
The brief declares.
Arbitrary Power in Secretary.
1t is charged also that the provision
vests in the Secretary of the Treasury
m arbitrary power of determining
without a hearing, whether any cor
poration has accumulated a greater IN
divided surplus than is reasonable fol
the needs of the business
How can he reach such a decision !
II is asked The law makes no pro-
vision to aid him"
A third reason is that the provision
permits corporations TO accumulate anC
withhold from surtaN such part of then
profits as may be reasonably necessary
~
ness. and does not accord such business
privilege 10 individuals and partner.
ships. 1t is urged that corporations
are thus favored by most invidious
discrimination"
The brief urges that the sixteenth
amendment to the Constitution did not
obliterate entirely the provisions of the
Constitution against direct taxes, ant
that Congress can only tax income ant
not real or personal property. 1t IL
contended that Congress can make nc
distinctions as to the source OF income
Popular Determinations"
If Congress has such power. some
very popular Determinations are
within its reach. the brief asserts.
1T would be very popular in some
quarters it says. "to levy a higher
rate on incomes derived from the man.
ufacture of liquors. Another popula,
discrimination would be to increase tils
rate on income from oil and steel anc
automobile corporations And Just be
1ore each congressional or presidential
election the demand for a lower rate
on incomes dAived from agricultural
pursuits would be irresistible"
The case was begun TO prevent the
collector of internal revenue at De-
troit from collecting a surtax on each
OF the Dodges of approximately $4,000
Tor the year 1913 The federal district
court in Michigan held the tax valid.

Net Income Less in 1914.

He told the commission that II 1t
applied the same tests to the western

per cent case it must reach the con-
clusion that the western advances are
justified and necessary. He said the
net income per mile of roads in 13l 4
was $3.50 less than in 1910. that the
net return on the property invest
ment in 1914 was 3.Sl per cent, equal
to a I per cent return on valuation
of s2s, 900 per mile. against return of
441 per cent in 1910, which he said
was equal TO q ! per cent return on a
valuation of s30,62s per mile.
Conditions, he said. had changed
since 1910 when the western roads
sought and were refused an increase.
The operating ratio on those roads
had increased from 68 per cent in 1901
to rs per cent in 1914. The eastern
roads. he argued We're given an in
crease although in their territory the
operating ratio IL lower. equipment
charges and rate of return are higher
and traffic density much higher than
in the west Mr. Scott told the com
mission that if the increase We're
granted the western roads Will earn
