The supreme court upheld the In

Chief Justice White, which sWep!

constitution. .ity in Who.e or in part
Chief Justice White announced tAe
decision in the case Of Frank +. Brush
aber, stockhCtGer Of the Union PaciAc
railroad, VINO sought to enj-il tie
company lrCm paying tie tax on tAe
ground that it was unconst tutlCna!'
Nest OF Justice Whites opinion was
directed toward over ruling the con'
tention that the income tax amend
ment provided a hitherto unknown
power OF taxation. Going far into
the history Of the income tax le-lsla'
ton, the chief justice concluded the
argument was without merit. Ad a &c
ing to other points, the cAieE justice
held that the tax was not ulconst-td'
tional because it was retroactive.
The argument that tie law was un'
constitutional because labor, fgricul'
tural and horticultural and sucl or
ganizatiCns were exempt, the chief
justice held, was answered by decl :
ions unde. the corporation tax .aw.
He said the point was only anCt.ef
illustration Of an roneCus assump-
tion that the tax was imposed under a
new power conferred upon the govern
ment by the sixteenth amendment,
whereas it was power recognized to
exist from the beginning of the ":
ernment, and thus decisions defining
the taxing p-wer previously rendered
were applicable to it.
Then grouping number CT other
contenticrs against the law, all based
on the clause Of the constitution le.
quiring uniformity in taxation, Chief
Justice White pronounced them all
lacking in merit, because of previous
decisions which determined that the
clause eXacted only geographical
uniformity.

BRANDEIS FOR
SUPREME COURT
Boston Lawyer to Succeed
Justice Lamar.
He MAY MEET OPPOSITION
Bitter Fight is Expected in the Senate
on Confirmation of Noted Trust
Buster.

President Wilson selected Louis d.
Brandies, of Boston, to be ass cia e
Justice of the United States, to sue
ceed Justice Lamar, who died recent
ly.
Mr.. Brandies' nomination went to
the\senate. 1t was a surprise every
where in official circles. Mr.. Brandies
had not even been mentioned for the
vacancy.
No sooner had the nomination been
received than the senators began dis
cussing informally the prospects oi
his confirmation. A bitter fight is eX'
pected. None of those who said they
were opposed to the appointment were
willing to be quoted to that effect,
however. Senators on all hands said
FREELY they were taken by surprise
The nomination goes to the judiciary
committee, where, if there is a fight,
it will first develop.
Louis Dembitz Brandies was born
at Louisville, KY, November 13, 1886,
and was educated in the pubic and
high schools of that place and at An
nen Realschule, Dresden, Germany.
He was graduated from tie Harvard
Law school in 1877 and received IN
masters degree in 1891.
On March %, 1891, he married
Alice Gcldmark, OF New York city
He was admitted to the bar in Bost Il
in 1878, and has practiced in that city
ever since.
He has taken a prominent part /.
legal cases OF a public ntaure and ha
been regarded as a man Of ultra-radl.
cal views on many subjects. He ha
been independent in politics, &C in
freely with radical elements in tot-.
parties.
In the Ballinger controversy during
the Taft administration he represent,
ed CLAWS, one of the chief witnesses
fer the former attorney generals op.
ponents.
He was counsel for the people in
the proceedings involving the consti.
tutiona.ity of the Oregon and Illinois
women's ten-hour laws, and chairman
of the arbitration board of the New
York garment workers constituted
after the strike in 1910.
AS counsel for the shippers, Mr..
Brandies in 1910 and 1911 made
determined fight against the granting
CT the freight rate increase asked by
the eastern trunk line railroads. He
caused a stir by declarations made in
November, 1910, that the railroads
of the country were wasting a million
dollars daily and that he could show
them how to save that sum.
He was appointed special govern
ment attorney in the New England
railroad inquiry before the interstate
commerce commission last year.
Mr.. Brandies' name last came
prominently before the public when
he was appointed special government
attorney in the Riggs National bank
suit against Comptroller of the Cur
rency John Shelton Williams.
Mr.. Brandies is regarded as an au-
thority on public franchises, life in
surance, wage earners' insurance,
scientific management, labor problems
and the trust question. He has writ
ten largely on these topics.
Mr.. Brandies is the first Hebrew to
be named to the supreme court. He
has taken an active part in the Zion
ist, movement.
Supreme court justices hold office
for life. Associate justices receive
s14,500 a year.

Mrs Chellew claims he was.

WESTERN CANADA
Accompanying Industries Also
Prove Highly Profitable.

The cheese industry throughout
western Canada today is in highly
fiourishing condition and is bound In
more important. The war has created
great demand for that article, and
its use abroad has given 1t lot OF
useful advertising. The article known
as Canadian cheese is now sought not
only by the soldier in the trenches,
but by the ordinary civilian consumer,
Who. having used it. Is quick to ap-
preciate its value. This means that
after the war there will be demand
created for 1t that would not other
wise have been. Up to the present
the war needs have limited the local
supply. but with the increased effort
that is now being put forth II Is hoped
that this will be met. AS a matter OF
course the prices are high. and the
farmers who contribute to the cheese
factories are making money.
The cheese season is now fully open
and there is every prospect of an ex-
cellent year because the high price
which obtained last year will undoubt-
edly be maintained this season. West
ern Canada has all the natural re-
sources for the making OF cheese. the
feed and the cool nights, two things
essential. and in time 1t is bound to
become one OF the finest cheese coun-
tries OF the continent.
The lower foothills OF Alberta, used
only at the present time as ranges or
L.. N
cheese in great quantities. and doubt
less win soon equal the famous up
lands of Denmark.
The cool nights mean the better
keeping OF milk and cream and
cheese, and that is a great thing for
the industry. especially when com
bined with possibilities OF cattle feed
such as exist on the long slopes from
the Rockies eastward.
The hog market, which may be
classed as an adjunct of farming, is
an exceedingly good one. and the low
cost at which the feed can be pro-
duced. coupled with the high prices
realized, make this industry very prof.
table.
One OF the first thoughts that occur
to the mind of the average prospective
settler is the likelihood of suitable
markets. In this connection the fol
lowing table will be illuminating. II
