He dc- toted himself to the discussion of the questions - i tions as to whether the tax was a direct ' tax , and argued that Ir It was . It must under th revIsion or the constitution be apportioned according to population. ReferrIng ! to tllO decision In the Springer case UIJholcllng the war Income tax . he said It was the result of a loyal effort to maintain n law enacted ! In tim Interest of the govern' mont at a critical time tint now the clr- cumstanct's were quite different with the country enjoying proce. lie fell that the Springer decision would not operate as n bar to the prosecution of his case In response to a question hy Justice Gray , I Mr. Seward r.ald there had never been n : time In the history or the country that state ' taxes were designated as other ' direct taxes. lIe asserted that an Income tax hall been ievled In most of [ the colonies prior to the adoption of the constitution The people had then regarded it as a direct tax , allli when the words "l1lrect tax" were adopted In the constitution they must necessarily ! have been given the meaning attached to them among the people at Inrge. 1\1r. Seward was 11Is- cussing the question of apportionment when Chief Justice Fuller Interrupted with the question : . . . "SuPl10se there should not be a sufficient amount arising from the taxation of Incomes of over $1,000 to meet the requirements or n given state ? " . . .It could be ( hone . " replied Mr. Seward "on the basis of population which Is the only thing to be apportioned to " Assistant Attorney General Whitney then presented the outlines or the government case. He oxpiained the difference between the two cases from New York and th one arising In the District saying that In the Moore case the ertort has been to secure an Injunction against the collection of the lax , whllo In the other two cases the effort has been to enjoin the payment of the tax ; the first being on action against the commissioner - missioner or Internal revenue and the two others against trust companies of which the appellants were stoclthotclers. 1\Ir. Moore he said a rich man who possessed an Income exceeding $200,000 a year . did not claim to have any property that could be reached as a lien for the collection ot the tax. Mr. Moore had declared this law could not apply to on unconstitutional tax. but the court luaU lucid that an unconstitutional tax was still a tax. "How can congress maIm a law compelling a man 10 do a thing which the constitution says ho cannot ? " asked Justice Field but at the suggestion of Chief Justice Fuller that further discussion on the point was unnec- essary Mr. Whitney did not attempt to reply allli passed cn to the Pollock case : He said the government had not consIdered It worth while . to go back for centuries for a definition or the phrase "dlrcct tax " and ho devoted himself to the consideration of the origin or the phrase In the constitution and not to Its use since lie said congress In considering the present law before Its en- aetnient had discussed ! the question ! as to where tile limit could be drawn so as to protect tile poorer classes and the figure or $4,000 had been agreed upon after a very thor- ought comparison ot opinions. Ar to the discrimination - crimination against corporations , he con- tended the corporatlon's income was necessarily - sarily different from that. or Individuals , and hence there must be a different basis ! for fixIng - log the tax Mr. Whitney had not concluded when the court , at 4 o'clock adjourned until Monday at 12 o'clock , , when after Mr. Whitney con- eludes ex-Senator Ed.munds wilt bo heard In the case , and , he , In turn . will bo followed by Attorney General Olney - Purity strength and wholesomeness arc the unrivaled qualities combined In Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powl1er. .

WASHINGTON March S-Speclal ( Tele- grnm.-The ) officials of the Indian office arc new occupied In preparing plans for artesian wells to be sunl for Irlgallon purposes 011 the Sioux reservation. Thue Indian appro- priation act of last- year authorized the sinking of wells In that section heretofore It has been the custom to advertise for bids for the work and have It done by Individual contractors. It Is now deemed wise for the government to do the work under the Sll- pervlslon or Its several Indian agents. For prosecuting the work the government. intends to purchase the necessary machinery and employ skilled labor This plan Ie a new departure on the part of the government. H Is expected that plans will materIalize BO that the actual work can be commenced by the 1st of April. A slight error has been found by the general - eral land office In the reports of surveys , which were made or the Yanklon reservation soon to be opened for settlement and hence a. short delay will he occasioned In the issuance - suance or the proclamation of the president. Work hu so far progressed that the ad- verllsement for bids for supplies for Indian agencies and reservations throughout the country will be Issued about the 1st or April next Three weeks wilt be allowed to senll bids and at the expiration of that time they will be Olened. The first opening' will be at Chicago and two weeks afterward there will be another opening at New York City Goods have always been delivered at the warehouses at Chicago anti New York.
