THE INCOME TAX DECISION.

Action of the supreme court in holding that the income tax law of 1916, relating to the classification of dividends as income is unconsti- tutional, is calculated to let a num- Der of men who should bear the bur den of taxation by without paying. It provides, we believe, another loop hole for the evasion of taxes by those who should pay them.
 Representative Hull of Tennessee. who drew, the measure says of the courts decision:
 Tt not only destroys the last ves- tige of, congressional power to tax stock dividends, but also annuls tho present law for the taxation of per sonal service corporations those in which the individual service is the chief factor.
 sThe effect is that any group of individuals may form artificial en i titles and screen themselves and avoid large amount of their just taxes"
 The courts decision adds another loophole to the tax dodgers list. AL ready there are so many ways of beating the law that computing tax returns has become profession. There are mep who are making it q business to tell man how he can beat the government on his return and stay within the law. The tax on the man whose salary or wages runs over S1,000 or over $2,0O0 if he is married, continues.
 Incidentally the decision was by a 5-4 vote. One mans opinion made it.
 Discomfort is rife in the United States and the feeling among the most of us is bad enough. Decisions which cause conditions such as the this decision. brought about won't help at all

Kentucky Attack
 to Conclude Fight on Dry Amendment

Washington. March 9-Presenta- tien of arguments in cases for Rhode Island and Massachusetts. attacking the validity of the prohibit tion amendment to the constitution, were concluded today in supreme court. The case from Kentucky will be disposed of tomorrow. after which the question will be left to the nations highest tribunal for decision.
 amendment continued today to argue that it was revolutionary and an in vasion of states rights.
 You are now coming to a fork in the road. one leading to the power of amendment and. the other back eto the constitution" Levy Mayer, of Chicago. told the court, in opening for the Kentucky complainants.
 "The very proposition is stagger- ing. There IS no difference, if we discuss whiskey, tobacco or cotton. l rise above the question that this deals with whiskey and dwell on the principle involved-can this constitu- tion be uprooted-
 "The question is more than pro- hibition. Police power is synonmous with the sovereignty of the state. Remove the police power and no state will exist.''
 Mr Mayer denied that the amend ment had been ratified properly, in view of referendum provisions in numerous state constutions, Teouir- ing such proposals to be submitted to the voters.
 These contentious were denied by Solicitor General King and Assistant Attorney General Frierson, who argued the amendment was properly adopted by congress and had been ratified by three-fourths of the states. The solicitor general also said the amendment did not interfere with the functions of the states, but gave the federal government power to act with the states in enforcing prohibition and resulted from a gen- eral demand upon congress to assist dry states in enforcing prohibition laws.

REMARK THE FORESTS.

One tree, put in the ground a . shoot, ought to return s1OO in 20 years. This may be regarded as fa.' fetched economy. In fact, it is 100 per cent investment, says the Chicago Tribune.
 It is a 100 per cent investment be cause great areas of cut over timber land and poor soil are practically waste in the central west. It is 100 per cent investment because the sole outlay consists in one simple act of setting out the young tree. The tree take care of their own growing, re- quire no harvesting, work night and day, and in the end return valuable dividend.
 From the resolutions adopted by the tristate forestry conference we find that there are 4,000 wood using industries in the three states Of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. The main source of supply for these industries is in the central west. If wood produc tion decreases it will be neces- sary for these manufacturers to move nearer the source of supply or pay an increased price for their raw product.
 In the three states named there are employed approximately 3o0,0OO per sons in various woodworking in- dustries. There is invested some $7O0,O00, 0,000. This gives an idea of the importance of reforestation. It opens to the farmer an opportunity to develop his useless tracts into productivity.
 The state should discourage the removal of timber except for pur- poses of production. The various agricultural societies should preach forestation for general community advancement if not for profit. Many a waste corner can be turned to ad- vantage by the setting out of few shoots.
 The Cook county forest preserve should be an example to all the counties of the state. Reforestation if scientifically carried out over the whole country ought to maintain the balance between supply and demand.
