THE INCOME TAX.
The income tax question is settled, the
supreme court of the United States hav
ing declared it unconstitutional, by a
rote of five to four. While this decision
interferes seriously with the revenues of
the government, that matter can be
asily remedied. Congress can easily
provide for more revenue when it meets,
but it can never restore confidence in
the supreme court of the United States.
For more than a hundred years our
supreme court has been looked upon by
the entire civilised world as the most in
dependent, the most upright and the
most perfect judicial body in the world.
The recent decision besmirches that
grand reputation. It is not that the de
cision was against the income tax that
does this, but the manner in which that
'decision was reached. It will be re
membered that Justice Shiras, at the
first trial of the case, was in favor Of the
-constitutionality of the tax, but upon
the second bearing of the matter, when
it was certain that Justice Jackson
would throw the weight of his opiaXon
in favor of the law. Justice Shiras sud
denly reversed himself, thus making the
court five to four against the law, in
stead of five to four in favor of it, as the
decision would have been had he stood
by his expressed conviction. Un
charitable people; people who are ac
quainted with the ways of politicians,
-people who know how the great aggrega
tions of wealth accomplish their pur
poses, will find but one explanation of
Justice Shira's sudden flop, and that ia
undue influence exerted in such a man
ner as to increase Justice Shiras' in
come. The decision is but another step
towards anurcby and strange as it may
seem that step is deliberately taken by
the highest tribunal in the land. . The
common every day man will find some
difficulty in following the niceties of dis
tinction made by the learned legal lights
who ornament the supreme bench. ' The
common every day mind is incapable of
grasping the intangible essence of the
law, that finds it constitutional to levy
a tax under the name of internal rev
nne on the direct product of the soil, as
it does in the case of tobacco, and in the
wme breath finds it unconstitutional to
levy . a tax under the name of income
-when the income is derived from the
rents and profits of the lands upon which
the tobacco is grown. The cummon
every day citizen cannot recognize the
distinction between a tax levied directly
on incomes, and a tax levied indirectly
as it is in the tat iff.
The United States raises $000,000,000
annually by a tax. How? By customs
. duties she taxes articles of consumption,
and the higher duty the greater tax she
levies on the incomes of the consumers.
The result is the same as a direct tax on
incomes, only the tax is levied in pro
portion to the amount consumed.
The supreme court decision , is, how
ever, final and must be submitted to.
The proper thing now to be done is to at
once take the initial steps for submitting
jtn amendment to the constitution, pro
viding for the taxing of incomes. ' The
system by which the government raises
its revenue is a bad one, in that it taxes
man not according to his ability to pay,
- not in proportion to the benefits he de
xives from the government, but just in
proportion to the amount he consumes
It is a per capita tax, pure and simple
, Nat. Blnm has arrived in Portland
and is ready to testify in the cases
against James Lotan and others, charged
with emuggling. - He will not testify
against Dunbar because that very shrewd
gentleman, having been found guilty of
robbing the United States out of $100.
000 at least, was let go on bonds in the
mm of $5000. Of course while waiting
for the supreme court to decide the
matter Mr. Dunbar, with commendable
wisdom, removed his non-astral body
from the jurisdiction of the courts, so
that after all the only question for the
supreme court to decide was whether
the $5000 should be forfeited to the
United States, or not. The money was
all the court had jurisdiction over. The
decision of the court makes the bond
forfeitable and U. S. District Attorney
Murphy has begun proceedings to corral
it. By the way the case of Cy. Mulkey
who was also convicted, seems to have
been lost sight of. Will Mr. Murphy
please explain why nothing is being
done with that light fingered gentle
man?, ' ; - ' - '

"No, thank you."
"No! Why not?"

and I must be consistent; in the second
place, this is the anniversary of father's
death, and out of respect to his memory
I have promised never to drink on this
