It, nevertheless, results that those parts of the Wilson act which sur-. vive tho new theory of the consti tution envolved by those cases, are those imposing burdens upon the great body of Americans Who de rive no rents from real estnte, and who are not so fortunate aB to own invested personal property, such as bonds or stocks of mammoth cor porations which hold within their control almost tho entire business of the country. “ Such a result is one to be doeply deplored. It cannot bo regarded otherwise than a disaster to the country. The practical, if not tho direct effect of tho decision, is to give to certain kinds of property a position of favoritism and advan tage that is inconsistent with tho fundamental principles of our social organization, and to invest witli power and inilueuce that may be perilous to that portion of tho American people upon whom rests the largest part of tho burdens of the government, and who ought not to be subjected to the dominion of a"/?regnted wealth nny more than the property of the country should be at tho mercy of the lawless.” Justice Jackson followed Harlnn, and gave voice to the samo senti ments in more subdued language ami manner. He spoke with great difficulty, being frequently inter rupted by fits of coughing, and at times was scarcely able to procood. It was evident that be was stirred by a deep sense of duty to tell why he believed an income tax constitu tional, and he did so by going more into the law than hnd Mr. Harlan, but ho nrrivednt the same conclusion. Ho, too, said that the decision was a disastrous blow at the constitu tional power of congress, in that it struck down au important power of tho governmant; leaving it in case of necessity without power to reach by taxation in any form the vast iucomes derived from the ronl and personal property of the country. Justice Brown in dissenting also held that the court should not de part from its historical position. A century of errors ho said might be less pregnant with evil to the state than a newly discovered truth. He was followed by Justico White, who repeated the opinion expressed by him when the case was first before the court. CT8. S even TEN CT8. S t o v e G l o ss TEN CT8.
