income TAX LAW
/ IS HELD valid BY
SUPREME court
Decision Is Handed Down
Today UNFOLDING the Con-
stitutionality of the Act
of Congress.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The United
States supreme court today upheld the
constitutionality of the income tax law.
Five separate suits to test the con-
|stitutionality 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 30 years the fight for and
against a 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. 1t was not
| until the Cleveland administration
placed an income tax in the Wilson
tariff act that the fight became Sc
rious.
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 If
the lawyers, James c. Carter, warned
the court against setting up its judg
ment to thwart the will of 100000
people. Joseph H. Choate. opposing,
called upon the court to exercise its
judicial power regardless Of any pop
ular or populistic propaganda.
Was Held Uncon stitutional.
At first the court decided that the
tax was unconstitutional as to rents
from land because It was direct tax
not apportioned according to popula-
ton, and was unconstitutional as to
Interest on municipal bonds. Only
eight judges participated and they were
evenly divided al to the validity 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 arguments in his life
time. Justice Jackson voted to sus-
tain 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 to realty
and as to income from personality was
set aside on the ground that 1t was a
direct tax and not apportioned ac-
cording to population. as was required
by the constitution of direct taxes.
An agitation for an amendment &c
the constitution then began. 1t came
Ito nothing until President Taft recon
mended the enactment of an excise taH
on corporations to be measured by theii
income and an amendment to the con
stitution to permit the levyng Of al
income tax on all incomes. The amend
ment was submitted to the states n

IDAHO NORTHERN
ROAD IS BLOCKED
BY SNOWSL|DES

The most serious snow slides in the
history OF the Idaho Northern rail-
road took place above Horseshoe Bend
in the canyon leading to Smiths Ferry
and to the upper canyon. according to
the report brought to Boise today by
James Murray, head cruiser for the
Boise -Payette Lumber company, who
was caught between two slides Satur-
day night at mile post TO- One OF
the crew of the road working to clear
the track is marooned between two
other slides and the rotary pillow
broke while attempting to clear the
tracks Another pillow is being rushed
to the scene of the trouble and every
effort is being made to clear the track.
At Smiths Ferry the snow is from six
to seven feet deep. Old timers say it
is the worst snow for that part Of the
country since 1887 and the recent thaW
has not helped matters.
The slides above mile post 20 are
about three miles long and are con-
tinuous," said Mr.. Murray, speaking
of the condition the railroad officials
are up against there. Our party was
forced to stop at mile post 20 and re-
main there for on attempting to go
back we found that within less than
half an hour another big slide had
come down and cut off our retreat.
We had to wait until the track could
be cleared. ] have seen few instances
