INCOME TAX Law
FINALLY UPHELD
Result May Be to Make Rish
Pay Defense Cost
SUPREME COURT so RULES
Cites Corporation Tax Law to Dis
prove -gument of Unconstitution-
ality Because Labor, Agriculture
and Horticulture Are Exempt.

Washington-Th Supreme Court
upheld the constitutionality OF income
tax law. The opinion read by Chief
Justice White covered every legal OBJ
lection that had been raised against 1t.
The effect of the opinion on Con-
gress was impressive. Many Sena-
tors and Representatives yentured the
opinion that the decision giving such
sweeping judicial sanction to this
form Of taxation would increase the
popular demand for raising rates on
big incomes. 1t was predicted that
the wealth of the country will be
called upon TO bear the burden of the
national defense program.
The Chief Justice announced the de-
cision in the case OF Frank R. Brush
aber, stakeholder of the Union Pacific.
Most of Justice Whites opinion was
directed toward overruling the eonten.
ton that the income tax amendment
provided a hitherto unknown power
OF taxation. Going far into the history
OF income tax legislation, the Chief
Justice concluded that the argument
was without merit.
Advancing to other points. the Chief
Justice held that the tax was not I'M
constitutional because Il was retroac-
i've. The argumeIS that the law was
unconstitutional because labor. agricul
turai ard horticultural! organizations
and such were exempt. the Chief JUS
tice held, was answered by decisions
under the corporation tax law.

Neutrality Board of the State and
Navy Departments and secretary Of
the Carnegie Endowment for Inter

national principles. two OF which seem
to have direct and significant bear
ing on the events OF the war in Eu-
rope. The first declares that every
nation has the right TO exist. but Is
not justified in defending this right
at the expense OF innocent and un-
offending states" The other declares
that every nation entitled to right
by the law OF nations is entitled to
have that right respected and protect
ed by all other nations" The first
seems to condemn the German inva-

in some quarters TO imply that all the
nations of the world should have raj

DEATH OF WOMAN

BODY FOUND In CREEK
Jacksonville, Fla, Police Are Probing
the Rather Mysterious Death OF
Woman Whcm They Believe Came
From Detroit, Mich.

Tangled skeinS of mystery surround
the death of the woman known ut
Jacksonville as Mss a. King, whose
decomposed body was found in Trout
Creek, at least six miles from the city.
The coroner's jury Cmpanelled to in
vcstigate into the cause Of the death
of the woman came to verdict that
death was caused by drowning. This
report was made after the county ply.
sician, who performed an autopsy, de-
clared there were no marks of violence
on the body.
The body has been identified rs
that of Miss A. King, of Detroit,
Mich, who had been missing from a
local hotel for several days, but police
and county officials are bafflcd as to
what became of her iewclry, said to
have been worn the day she diaap-
peared.
Various theories are expressed re-
garding the mystery. That Miss
King, If that was her name, com
mitted suicide is the most popular
but several details give a more sin.
lister aspect to the case.

THE more progressive farmers in
sections where the cattle tick mas
been eradicated have purchased good
bulls to use in grading up their herds.'
The result has been wonderful. High
grade cows, producing deep, broad,
blocky calves that mature into 500
to 900 pound steers at two years old
have now replaced the small, cheap
scrubs that were formerly on the
farm.
Scrub calves that were formerly
worth from 81 to 81 at IL months OF
age are supplanted by the grade beef
calves that weigh $50 to 500 pounds
at a year old and sell for SIS to $50
a head.
Such grade calves have been mar
keted for several years by the Blu
reau of Animal Industry in the Ala
bama cattle-feeding experiments at
prices ranging from s25 to $50 head
when fattenei before being put on the
market. Good profits were made on
raising and feeding Them
Comparative Costs
Mr.. Ward has prepared some COM
parative costs for raising calves and
young stock in various sections Of the
country, based on actual results.
The average cost per 100 pounds
raising calf to weaving time was
$9.1s in corn belt; 1922 in Pennsyl-
vania; $3.50 in North Alabama; and
1857 in West Alabama. Both Ala
bama tests were made with tick-free
stock.
The average cost per 100 pounds to
raise the calf to IL or Is months of
age: $1179 in corn belt; 1874 in Penn
sylvania; $441 in North Alabama
and $3.50 in West Alabama.
The charges included feed, labor.
equipment, taxes, risk, depreciation,
veterinarian fees, bull service and six
per cent interest on investment.
Under tick-free conditions. in Flor
ida the calves and yearlings can be
raised cheaper than in Alabama and
the packing plants which will be In
operation at Jacksonville and other
Florida cities this winter will afford
a nearby market for good quality beef.
Florida has an abundance of water
and shade. The climate is equable,
with no destructive billiards. Pastur-
age in general is plentiful and where
lacking can easily be supplied by for
age crops suitable to the different
soils.
Are you going to continue raising
cattle ticks and low priced canned
beef, or are you going to eradicate
the ticks and raise some high-priced
quality beef? Why not eradicate the
ticLe in This oorn munitv and raise
some good beef?
