One of the biggest aide fight in con nection with the great contest was laid bare when Mr. Bowers Insisted that "the net income from all sources," mentioned in the law aa the basie of measuring the tax, Included all the property of a corporation. . . William D. Guthrie and his associ ates, Victor Morawets and Howard Vansinger, counsel for the Home Life Insurance company, insisted the law did not mean to Include the income de rived directly from Federal, state or municipal securities or from real or personal property not used or employed in buaines. They advanced thia doe- trine on the theory that, if tho tax were not levied on nich property, the law would become clearly eonatituH uonsu Mr. Bower argued that corporations cannot hold property that waa not de voted to corporate business, either ac tiveiy or passively. He cited the de cision of the Supreme court, holding the United States could levy an intern al revenue tax on the dispensary South Carolina, as allowing that ' the United State may tax utility corpor- ationa. Mr. Guthrie, counsel for the Home Life Insurance company, followed Mr. Bowers, arguing that Federal, state and municipal bonds and property not actively engaged in business are not subject to the tar. He also spoke for the constitutionality of the law aa ap plied purely to a corporation's property actively used in business. In, beginning his argument. Mr. Johnson said the argument of the solic itor general was one he would have been willing to listen to bad it not been on the other aide. As to Mr. Guthrie, Mr. Johnson said he waa wolf in sheep's elothine." whom he did not want on his side. What made the law so obnoxious, Mr. Johnson ex plained, waa the publicity feature. wnereoy It waa proposed to "embalm' the returns a a public record.
