under the provision OF the Sherman anti

OF damages in treble the amount actually

INCOME TAX ACT
DECLARED VALID
BY HIGH COURT
Decision, Which is Announced by
Chief Justice White, Says that
the Law is Valid in
It's Entirety.
FIVE SEPARATE SUITS FILED
Different Features and Provisions
of Law Attacked by Persons
and Corporations.
FORMER LAW WAS SET ASIDE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The SUI
preme court today upheld the con-
stitutionality OF the income tax law.
Chief Justice White gave the courts
decision, sweeping aside all the
many objections TO its constitutional
lily in whole or in part.
Chief Justice White announced
the decision in the case of Frank r.
Brushhaber, stockholder OF the I'm
ion Pacific railroad, who sought to
enjoin the company from paying the
tax on the ground that It was uncon-
stitutional.
Most of Justice Whites opinion
was directed toward overrullng the
contention that the income tax
amendment provided a hitherto un-
known power of taxation. Going far
into the mystery of income tax legis-
lation, the chief justice concluded
the argument was without merit.
Advancing 10 other points the chief jus.
tice held that the tax was not unconsti-
tutional because it was retroactive.
The argument that the law was uncon-
situtlonal because labor agricultural and
horticultural organizations and such were
exempt, the chief justice held was an
swered by decisions under the corpora
tion tax law. He said the point was only
another illustration OF an erroneous as
sumption that the tax was imposed under
a new power conferred upon the govern
ment by the sixteenth amendment.
