INGOM
E TAX IS
UPHELD BY THE
United States Supreme Court
Holds Collections at Source
and Extra Dividend Taxes
Are Constitutional.
CHIEF JUSTICE WHITE
RENDERS THE OPINION
Expediency and Economic
Features of Tax Held Not
Within Cognizance.
Washington, Jan. 24. The supreme
cr.urt today upheld tBe validity of the
section of the Income tax law dealing
with collections at the jiource and ex
tra dividend taxes accruing to corpora
tion owned stock In other corporations.
The sections ir. question were at
tacked by Frank R- Brushaber. a stock
holder of the Union Pacific railroad.
The ruling held that the sixteenth
amendment to the constitution in no
way invalidated any part of the In-
r- r rr a taw lav

I-ranK rt. Brintr-eii -4
Pacific Railroad company.', charging
that taxes were'ToneTtsWfor a period
prior to the time when the'law-waaMn
effect, and claiming that the law was
discriminatory in drawing -classes, and
that likewise it took property without
due process of law.
The decision was rendered by Chief
Justice White, who pointed out the
great powers of legislative bodies to
levy taxes. ft
-Of course." he said, "it is super
fluous to say that argument about the
expediency of such taxes or the eco
nomic mistake or wrong mvolved in
their imposition is beyond Judicial
cognisance."
Tax Xa Held Uniform.
In answer to the objections that the
law violates the constitutional provi
sion for proportioning tales among the
states, according to population, he
said: "Their want of legal merit lJ
apparent, since it is settled that the
clause exacts only geographical uni
formity, and there Is not a semblance
of, ground for assuming that violation
of'such uniformity is complained of.
As far as the due process of law
clause of the fifth amendment to the
eonstituUoa Is relied upon, U, suffices
to say that there Is no basis for such
reliance." he continued, "since It Is
equally settled that such clause is not
a limitation upon the taxing powr
conferred upon congress by the consti
tution. Progressive Pasture Sustained.
"Is It not true, as Insisted on. that
although thero is no express legisla
tional provision prohibiting It. the
progressive feature of the tax causes
it to transcend the conception of all
taxation and become a mere arbitrary
r.buse of power which must be treated
as wanting In due process of law."
After hearing of the income tax de
cision, congressional leaders said that
revenues from this form of taxation
will be used to furnish most of the
money needed for the preparedness
program. They intend to raise several
times the present J80.000.000 from such
taxes.
