income TAX UPHELD



whatever source derived without APP
portionment among the several states
and without regard to any census or
enumeration"
Congress awaited itself of the first
opportunity to exercise the new power
by Incorporating into the tariff act
which became effective October 8,
1913 the present income tax. Five
suits, all challenging the validity of
certain features of the tax were:
Frank r. Brushaber, stockholder of
the Union Pacific Railroad company,
seeking in the New York federal
courts to enjoin the company from
paying the tax.
John F. Dodge and Horace E.
Dodge, manufacturers of Detroit,
Mich. in the Michigan federal courts,
to enjoin the internal revenue collect
or from collecting the tax, largely on
the ground that it Disseminated
against copartnerships in favor of
corporations.
John R. Stanton, stockholder of the
Baltic Mining company, in the Massa-
chusetts federal courts, to enjoin the
company and others from paying the
tax. largely because of the per cent
annual deduction from income allow
ed mining companies for ore deple-
ton.
Cases Heard Last October.
Tyee Realty company, in the New
York federal court, to enjoin the col
lection of internal revenue.
Edwin Thorne, in the New York
federal court, to enjoin the collector.
largely on the ground that the addi-
tional or surtaX imposed on incomes
over $40, 900 was unconstitutional
In each instance the lower court
held the tax constitutional, and the
case was brought to the supreme court
on appeal. The cases were advanced
for early hearing and were submitted
to the court for decision on October
Is, 1915, twenty years after the first
great income tax decisions.
Chief Justice White gave the court S
decision sweeping aside all the many
objections to its constitutionality in
whole or in part.
Chief Justice White announced the
decision in The case of Frank r.
Brushabar. stockhol6er of the Union
Pacific railroad, who sought to enjoir
the company from paying the tax on
the ground that it was demonstrations
al. Most of Justice Whites opinion
was directed toward overriding the
contention that the income tax amend
ment provided a hitherto unknown
power of taxation. Going far into the
history of income tax legislation, the
chief Justice concluded the argument
against the law was without merit.

VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE.

"ProbabIy no phase of the move
ment for vocational education eXhib-
its clearer evidence of the rapid evolu-
ton in thought and practice that is
taking place than vocational guild
ance," says DR.. w. T. Bawden, spe-
cialist in industrial education of the
United States bureau of education, in
his annual review of progress for the
year 1915. made to the secretary of
the interior. "Only a few short
months ago vocational guidance was
conceived of chiefly as a matter of
giving to boys and girls advice in the
choosing of a life work and assisting
in the securing of positions. In view
of the ambitious attempts made in a
few quarters. and especially the claims
of a few concerns that have investi-
gated the commercial possibilities of
vocational guidance. eXtravas giant eX-
pectations have been raised in the
popular mind that have not been
realized. This conception is rapidly
passing, however, and among the lead
ers of the vocational guidance move
ment the chief function of their work
is now regarded as the study of voca-
tional conditions and opportunities,
ana lne IldhlnS VI lIlc ISShAIiH6 lAACA
nations available to boys and girls
The most important service that can
be rendered the individual youth, un-
der the name of vocational guidance,
is to set him to thinking, at the proper
time, about the problem of choosing
a life work as a problem to be serious
ly faced and prepared for-to make
him fully conscious of its existence as
a problem to be solved, and aware of
the sources of data having any bearing
on its solution" Vocational guidance
IN it's application to college and uni
versity students has been receiving
special attention, according to Dr.
Bawden. He points out that sooner
or later a closer correlation will have
to be worked out between the college
course and the life of the community
for which students are educated.
Probably the most serious obstacle to
progress in vocational guidance" DR..
Bawden adds, sis the aloofness of the
school teacher, under ordinary condi-
! TONS from such of the worlds work,
and the practical difficulties in the
way of his knowing very much about
certain vastly important phases of it
through actual participation, or even
through close contact. Important
events during the past year include
the offering of college course for vo-
cational councillors by Boston univer-
sity in cooperation with the voca-
tional bureau. Boston, Mass, and the
announcement by the Tuck School of
Finance and Business Administration
at Dartmouth. of a new course for en-
problems arising in connection with
the examination, employment and
training of a staff of employees"

Arrnistice Was a Rusc.
The Montenegrin officials con-
firmed reports that King Nicholas ar
ranged an armistice with the Aus
trian invaders as a ruse to gain time
for the retreat of his army. They
expressed fear that the Austrians will
wreak a terrible vengeance upon the
Montenegrin civilians when they learn
OF the receptions.
The Austrians, however. suspected
the good faith of the Montenegro Of
ficials. Though an armistice had
been arranged, General Koevess sent

and Dulvigno. These troops are now
moving to capture San Giovanni Dl
