INCOME TAX ACT
DECLARED VALID
.. BY HIGH COURT
(Continued from Page On.)
where it waa apower reongnUed to
exist from the beginning of the govern
ment, and thus decision .defining th
taxing power previously rendered were
kppllcablo'to it. .
History f Litigation,
riv aeparat suit to tet the constl-
tutlonality of the new income tax law
were brought in the federal court
throughout' th oountry soon after the
law became effective and all found their
way to the supreme court of the United
States soon after.
For nearly fifty yeara the fight for
and against, a federal Income tax his
been somewhere In the cotirts.
The Income tax Imposed during- the
civil war and the years Immediately
following were not attacked with the
seriousness of later casits. It waa not
until' the Cleveland administration placed
gn income tax In the Wilson tariff act
that tb fight became serloua.
Th contest over the validity of th
tax In USH and IKK before the supreme
court was on of th most bitter ever
fought out before that court. On of
th lawyers. Jam Cv Carter, warned
the court against setting up its Judgment
to thwart the will 'of t).00O,OnO people.
Joseph. JI. Cheat, oppotforr called upon)
the court to exercise ita judicial power
regardless of any popular or popullstla
propaganda.
At first th court decided that th tax
wa anconstitutlonal as to rent from
land ' because it . was a direct tax not
apportioned according to population, and
waa unconstitutional as to inter
est, on municipal bonds. "' Only eight
Judge participated and they were evenly
divided aa to the validity ef other fea
ture of the law. A rehearing was
granted, and Justice Jackson, then dying,
took his place on the bench to listen to
the last arguments in his lifetime. Jus
tice Jackson voted to sustain tb law.
Justice Harlan created a sensation by
announcing from., the bench that an
other justice had changed hi mind over
night on the question, and the entire tax,
both aa to realty and a to income from
personality waa set aald on the ground
that It waa a direct tax and not appor
tioned according to population, as waa
required by the constitution of direct
taxes. i ! ''
An agitation for an amendment to the
constitution then began.' it cam to
nothing until President Taft recom
mended th enactment at an excise tax
en corporation to be measured by their
lnooma, and an amendment to th con
stitution to permit the leering of aa ln
ooma tax on all Income. This amend
ment waa submitted to the states at one
and was proclaimed aa the sixteenth
amendment to the constitution on March
It provided:
Th ronrress shall have Bower tn lav
and collect taxca on Incomes from what
ever source derived without apportion
ment among the several states and with
out regard to any census or enumera
tion.
Mat ( ls riled.
Congress availed Itself of th first op
portunity to exercise the new power by
Incorporating Into the tariff aet which
became effective October t, 191 J, tha pres
ent income tax. Five suit, all chal
lenging the validity, of certain feature
of th tax, were:
Frank R. Brushaher, stockholder of th
fnlon raelflo Railroad company, aeektng
In the New York federal court to enjoin
the company from paying th tax.
John F. Dodge aad Horace E. Dodge,
manufacturer of Detroit, Mlch In the!
Michigan federal courts to enjoin the In
ternal revenue collector from collecting
the tax. largely or. the ground that It
discriminated aeatnst copartnerships la
favor of corporations.
John R. Btantou. stockholder of the
Baltio atinlnar company. In the Maasachu
aetta federal court, to enjoin the com
pany and others from paying the tax.
largely because of the t per cent annual
deduction from Income allowed mining
companies for ote depletion.
Tyeo Realty company, in tha New Tork
federal courts, to enjoin the collection of
Internal revenue.
Edwin Thome, tn the New Tork federal
court; to enjoin the collector, largely on
the ground that the additional or surtax
Imposed on tnoome over I30.0UO waa un.
constitutional.
In each Instance th lower court held
th tax constitutional, and th case waa
brought to th supreme court on appeal.
The esses were advanced for early hear
ing and were ibmltud to th court for
decision on October IS, M16. twenty yeara
after the first great income tax decisions.
