mllht he carried on ns w,1 by a private
parlnershlp as by n stock company , II which
case Il would be exempt 111lr time laws from
the income tax. He ahl Mr. Polock was a
shareholdcr In thIs compal ) the net incomes
ur Ilrolls of which dl\rll/ the past year
subject to the Income tax , exceed $300,000.
at which $ O.OOO rellresenls rents of meal
estate ant ! about GOOOO Investments In
munlclpat betide , which later Ileslmelt
could ilot . he claimmmetl be taxed 11ler a for-
mer decision ot the fuplemc court. Mr.
Gnlhrlo asserted the Ilro\lslon of time law
oxcmpLng all Incole8Uller $4,000 would
cause It 10 fall Ulon less than : per cent
of the populaton of the Uiited States . anti , !
the law was therefore cIties legislation . He
also showed the tax was not unlforl as rl-
garts corporations , ot which I favored cits
were oxenupted ns , for imm.stmtnce clpss
suranco comllanles and bnldlug assocIatons ,
[ S wel as parlner8hlps ! Ind relgious ant

ot cimuirches benel'olent concerns . ctc. .

was enough In the olher exempLons In cases
where the exemptions were In the interest
ot shareholders lhough called II Inother
name , to afford sufclent text for all lhey
could say
EFFECT OF TIm IAW'S OPERATIONS.
As luslrth'e of the effect of the operatol
of time law he pointed out that [ n Individual
owning ral estate bringIng an income < t
$8.000 would pay $80 tax , while a corporation
would be required to pay double thal amouut
He also instanced the case of a partnership
of five persons doing n buslnesa amountng
to $20,000.vimiclm would : be required to pay
no tax , while a corporation composed of the
cattle : persons would ho compelled to pay
$400. In a word he said , the application of
time law would vary according to owner hlp.
The corporation was only an aggeglon of
Ildlvlduals , and In mosl corporations a part
at least of time stock was owned bv the mld-
'
dIe classes.
ReferrIng to , the exemptions made In tba
Interests ot Iutual Imurance companies , h
asserted that In the United States there were
1.90 such companies , and lhat of these lGOO
were doing business on the mutual plan and
he said In New York alone the wording at
lhe act exempting such companIes would re
lieve lCOOOOO.OOO worth nr rcpcrty from
its operation. Time leading mutual inSurance
company would secure the benefit of an exemption -
empton on Ito Income amounting ot $200.000
per year , whie its rival , organized on the
stock plan would have to lay an Income tax.
ThIs advantage was given In the Iw , ho assorted -
sorted simply because some one wanted 10
favor some particular mutual company
Mr. Gulhrlo dwelt upon the exemption In :
the interest of the buiding and loan .sso- ,
ciatiotis . who , ' were . he said relieved , ot the
annual payment of GOOOOO , an,1 , whose assets -
eels , It hd been asserted were greater than
time combIned capital of all the national
al , alonnl
banks. All men would have to do to evade
the operations of the law would be to organize -
ganize building alt loan associations . He ar-
gued If time present Jaw should be held to
b3 ccnsltutonal congress would levy I duly
ot 25 per cent on the Imports ot indIviduals
all 50 per cent oa those or corporations , or
If the e"nlment In congress should change
It could as easl ) ' reverse Limo process anti ,
favor the corporations. The principle would
be Iho ame.
"If you are going to dIscriminate at all . "
said he , "you cannot say 'Thus far shall
the go and no fartimer , ' If lime power to
discrlinimiate exists , tlte vower to destro' also
exists , "
lie argued timat even time mutual companies
'
anti other tavorCd ctsst * would

tiona might become so powerful iimler ( lie
favoritism shown thoU congreal would next

Power of eringross to imiske stutm exemptions
should be restricted , Taking imp the iulauu of
the constittution requmiring uniformity In levy- ,
lug imports , tares , etc. , he refuted time argu-
amont timat time word uniformity was meant
to have only geograpimlcai application , to prevent -
vent discriminatIon In favor of one state as
against another , but contendeth that it was
Imueaimt to secure equality of taxation ,
