INCOME TAX
BEFORE COURT

The constitutionality of the state
income tax law, passed by the Leg
islature in 1916, but generally ig-
nored by an overwhelming major
ity of citizens liable Hereunder, is
now before the Supreme Court for
settlement.
Regardless of the state court de-
cree, the validity Of the act will not
be finally determined until an opin-
ion is given by the United States
Supreme Court both sides being de-
termined to appeal in event of adj
verse decision.
The statute in question, Chapter
1870 of the Hemingway Code, seeks
to impose an income tax of five mills
on all incomes in excess of $2,500
and, should it be finally sustained
there will be regular epidemic Of
back tax suits against corporations
and individuals filed by the state rev.
enue agent, seeking to collect millions
of dollars.
Income tax payments into the
state treasury for 1920 totaled about
$4,000, and is estimated that not ex-
ceeding five per cent of the persons
liable admitted the validity of the law
and made payments.
The two test suits on which the
Supreme Court review is based were

"Only specialized workers
know the machinery Of the rail-

ate them. But the automobile
is quickly mastered by thousands
of new owners every day.
The total unmber of automo-

automobile is not a complicated

"Medium weight cars, in
particular, are designed with the
greatest simplicity and fe yer
parts. 1t is as easy to care for
such an automobile as to drive
it. And this in great measure
accounts for their popularity.
