FIVE SUITS BROUGHT
TO TEST INCOME TAX

ommended the enactment OF an ex-
else tax on corporations to be meas
ured BY their income and an amend
ment TO the contribution to permit
the leyying OF an income tax on all
income. The amendment was sub
mittcd 10 the states at once and was
proclaimed as the sixteenth amend
ment TO tho constitution on March /,
1913.
1t provided:
THE Congress shall have power to
lay and collect taxes on incomes from
whatever source derived without aD-
portionment among the several states
and without regard to any census or
enumeration. e

All Reach the Supreme Court
of the United States for
Final Decision.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 25-Fiye
separate suits to- test the, consti-
tutionaiity OF the new income tax
were brought in the federal courts
throughout the country soon after the
law became effective and all found
their way to the Supreme Court of
the United States soon after.
For nearly fifty years the fight for
and against federal income tax has
been somewhere in the courts
The income tax imposed during the
Civil war and the years Immediately
following were not attacked with the
seriousness OF later cases. It was
not until the Cleveland administra-
ton placed an income tax In the Will
son tariff act that the fight became
serious.
The contest over the validity OF the
tax in 1894 and 1895 before the
supreme court was one OF the most
bitter ever fought out before that
court One OF the lawyers, James c..
Carter. warned the court against set
ting up Its judgment to thwart the
viii OF sixty million people. Joseph
II. Choate, opposing, called upon the
court to exercise its judicial power
regardless OF any popular or pop
ulistic propaganda. 81
At first the court decided that the
tax was Unconstitutional as to rents
from land because twas a direct tax
not apportioned according to popula-
lion, and was unconstitutional as to
Interest on municipal bonds. Only
eight judges participated and they
were evenly divided as to the valid
lily of other features OF the law. A
rehearing was granted and Justice
Jackson. then dying. took his place
on the bench to listen TO the last ar
guments In his lifetime. Justice
Jackson voted to sustain the law.
Justice Harlan created a sensation
by announcing from the bench that
another Justice had changed his mind
over night on the question, and the
entire tax, both as 10 realty and as
TO income from personally was set
aside on the ground that 1t was d.
rect tax and not apportioned accord
ing to population, as. was required by
the constitution of direct taxes.
An agitation for an amendment to
the constitution then began. 1t came
TO nothing until President Taft rec

BERLIN. 4 via London. Dec. 25,
sis n. nl.-The Berlin papers to-
day publish prominently the full
text of tho American note on the
Ancona, only the Tageolatt and

length The Tdgeblatt says the note
differs from the first to Its advan-
tage by the objective tone which pre-
serves the forms customary In COM
munications between nations.
THE question at ISSUE" says the

nearer solution; the American gov
eminent maintains its demand made
on December s. As basis for this
demand, however, It has recourse no
longer TO the somewhat scanty ma
terial furnished by naked assump-
tions and suppositions, which It was
before based on, but on the report OF
the ngarian charge d. af-
flares az Washington, which he pre-
sented the same day the American
ambassador at Vienna received the
answer of Count Burian."
The TaeebIatt says II must wait
until II knows what this report con-
tanned before deciding whether It
furnishes better bazis for he
American demand than the assump-
tons and suppositions on which the
first note was based" and continues:
In any event II remains strik-
ing and unusual fact that the renew
ed demands were not emphasized by
any threat or time limitation"

As lust Made Public Show In.
teresting Facts about That
Industry.

WASHINGTON. Dec. ga pre-
liminary statement OF the results of
The census OF steam laundries in
West Virginia has been issued by Di-
rector Samuel L. Rogers, of the Blu
reau of the Census, Department of
Commerce. 1t consists of summary
! comparing the figures of 1909 and
1914, prepared under the direction
OF Mr.. William M. Steuart, chief sta
tistician for manufactures.
The figures are preliminary and
subject to such change and correc-
ton as may be found necessary from
further examination OF the origi-
: nal reports.
Strictly speaking. laundries are not
manufacturing establishments, but
the laundry industry has grown SO
rapidly and become SO important In
recent years that an Industrial CEN
sus would not be complete without
statistics regarding 1t. The statis-
tics are confined TO power laundries
and do not include figures for hand
laundries using no power. As a rule.
establishments included were operat-
ed by steam power and are known as
steam laundries. In some. however,
steam and electric power are COM
bined, and In others electric power
IL employed exclusively, steam and
ing purposes. The figures therefore.
comprise all kinds OF power laun-
dies.
Summary of the Statistics.

lected in 1909 and comparison is
