Lawyers Finish Arguments on Corpor

, Tho day was consumed largely by the
presentation of tho government' de
fense of the law by Solicitor-General
Bowers, John J, Johnson, of Philadel
phia, dosed the attack on the tax. lust
Doiore court adjourned.
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.
