In four opinions banded down yesterday by Judge Simoutou at the opening of court he aguiu sustulned the constitutionality of the I (oyer revenue ilaw of 1891. At the beginning of the pres nt year the stute was flooded with ciruiv jlars issued by the smaller trust companies in Philadelphia, setting forth that as the aat of 1891 taxed the capital stock of cor porations at 6 mills while other property was only taxed 4, the extra mill was un 'constltutloual, and stating that it had been asked to act as the custodian of a ifund for the purpose of havlncr the matter determined by the courts.

Judge Slmontoa mokee very skort work of the constitutional Dbjeotieaa, holding that, under the princi ples laM aVawn la anatoroua decisions at bia aaurt a4 ol the auarenu oonrt, euuslOca Ho may be carried to a muea greater length than necessary for the purpose of susUMag the tax tn question in this case. The taxation of the capital stock of these oerpe rations at a dlf!ereut rata from the taxation of the personal property of Indi viduals does net result in a want of unl formtty forbidden by the constitution. While it Is true that the capital stock of oorporaUons represent their property it is not Identical With tt and cannot in any real sense be said to belong to the same class of subjects as tas personal property of individuals. He holds also that the act of 1891 does mot conflict with any of the provisions of Ithe constitution of the United States.
