FRIDAY, MAY 84, 1895.
A republican Senate has appointed
a committee consisting exclusively
of republicans to investigate the muni.
cipal affairs of republican Phil a
delphia. Not much can come of such
an investigation.
The death of Hon. Eckley B. Coxe,
recalls the fact that he was the last of
the three orieinal members appointed
by the governor on the Coal Waste
commission of which Col. J. A. Price
was one. The third gentlemen was
Mr. Schaffer, of Pottsville, whose
death occurred nrevious to that ot
Col. Price. The three have died
within as many years. Scranton

There is an old soldier in Harris
burz who does the work of six politi
cians whose names are on the pay-roll
of the house of representatives at an
average salary of $6 a day. These
fellows probably pay their "sub" a
dollar a day and divide the balance
with the member who helped them
cet the place. Another "sub" in the
house threatens to make trouble if he
is not taken care of after the legisla
ture adjourns.
That the members of the senate
are opposed to foreign building and
loan associations being allowed to do
business in this state was conclusively
shown last Monday night when
Senator Mitchell, of Jefferson, had
his bill passed making it unlawful for
such associations to maintain offices
or employ agents to solicit or receive
subscriptions in this state. The bill
has a penalty clause attached making
any person who violates the provisions
of the act guilty of a misdemeanor
punishable by a maximum fine of
$500 and an imprisonment which
shall not exceed two years. As
originally drawn the bill prevented
foreign companies from doing business
in any county other than that in which
the principal office was located but it
was afterward amended to meet a
growing sentiment in favor of the
total exclusion of the foreign com
panies. It passed by a vote of thirty
three to two, Senators Green and
McQuown voting against it.
Where Are the Prophets.
A few ot those pessimistic persons
who last year were wearying the
American people with dismal fore
bodings of disaster to be caused by
the passage and operation of the YVil
son law ought now to get together and
formally declare where they are at
Every Republican newspaper a year
ago told how fear of tariff revision
had closed industries, and made
others unproductive, while tne cer
tainty of a change had increased im
portation, thrown hundreds of thous
ands of men out of work, reduced the
wages of those repiaining at work,
opened soup houses, reduced railroad
earnings, shrunk all values more than
a billion dollars, given the country in
to the ownership of Eritish rnanufac
turers, built bonfires all over England
and insured industrial ruin to their
country. We were told after the pass
age ot the wuson Dill that it was a
law for the suppression of American
industries, for the advancement of
foreign competition, for the destruc
turn of American investments, and all
the other evils that the fruitful mind
of mendacity could conceive. There
was even talk of treason to the coun
try in the passage of the law.
mat was the picture presented a
year ago and a few weeks ago. What
do we see now ? Everybody is work
ing or about to work. There are
many strikes for increases of wages,
instead of against reductions as a few
years ago, most of them successful
inere are many voluntary increases
of wages, perhaps the must, notable
being those at the Carnegie plants and
the Pencoyd iron works. Imports
have not grown h volume, while ne
markets for American products have
been found. 1 he railroads are re
covering their lost ground, internal
commerce is becoming larger and all
investments have recovered the
shrinkage of a year ago.
1 ne prophets nnd themselves con
fronted with this array of facts be
cause they were not themselves honor
able. They drew upon their imagina
tion, distoited facts, made figures lie
and did all in their power to blacken
the intentions of the party engaged
in the revision of the tariff. Never

THE INCOME TAX LAW 13 UN
CONSTITUTIONAL.
AT A FULL MEETING OF THE SUPREME
COURT JUSTICES A MAJORITY OF
ONE IS GIVEN AOAINST THE
MEASURE.
The United States supreme cor.tt
on Monday handed down a decision
declaring the income tax unconstitu
tional.
Upon the question ofgenral un
constitutionality of the law the couit
is understood to be as follows :
Against the Law. Chief Justice
Fuller, Justices Field, Gray, Brown
and Shiras.
For the Law Justices Harlan,
Brown, Jackson and White.
Ine chief justice announced th
following conclusions ,
first. We adhere to the opinion
already announced that taxes on real
estate being undisputably direct taxes,
taxes on the rents or income of real
estate are equally direct taxes.
Second. We are of opinion that
taxes on personal property or on the
income of personal property are like
wise direct taxes.
Third. The tax imposed by section
twenty seven to thirty seven, inclusive,
of the act of 1804, so far as it tails on
the income of real estate and ol
personal property, being a direct tax
within the meaning of the constitu
tion, and therefore unconstitutional
and void because not apportioned ac
cording to representation, all those
sections constituting one entire scheme
of taxation are necessarily invalid.
The decrees hereinbefore enterei
in this court will De vacated ; ine
decrees below will be reversed, anil
the cases remanded with instructions
to crant the relief prayed.
Opinions were also read by Justices
Jackson, White, Harlan and iirown
justice Jackson, ot J ennessee, who
was present at the recent rehearing
united with the other eight justices in
todays decision. He appears to
have voted in favor of the constitu
tionality of the law as a whole, but
maiontv for unconstitutionality was
obtained by the defection of Justice
Shiras, who assumed to day a position
directly the reverse of that taken by
him in April.
OPINION OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE,
In rendering his opinion the chie
justice said : The constitution divid
ed federal taxation into two grea
classes, the class of direct taxes, and
the class of duties, imposts and ex
cises, and prescribed two rules which
qualified the grant ot power to each
class. The power to lay direct taxes
apportioned among the several states
in proportion to their representation
in the popular branch of congress, a
representation based on population as
ascertained by the census, was plenary
and absolute ; but to lay a direct tax
was forbidden. The power to lay
duties, imposts and excises was subject
to the qualification that the imposi
tion must be unifoim throughout the
United States.
He referred to the fact that the
matter under consideration was broad
er in scope than tne nrst questions
decided some weeks ago. embracing
the constitutionality of the entire law.
He called attention to the history of
the struggle in the constitutional con
vention as to the power to be grant
ed the government in the matter of
laying taxes : the reviews of early con
stitutional writers and expounders ;
and the early decisions of the court,
and continued :
The constitution prohibits any di
rect tax, unless in proportion to num
bers as ascertained by the census ;
and in the light of the circumstances
to which we have referred, is it not
an evasion of that prohibition to hold
that a general unapportioned tax is
imposed upon all property owners as
a body for or in respect of their pro
perty is not direct, in the meaning of
the constitution, because confined to
the income therefrom ?
Whatever the speculative views cf
political economists or revenue re
formers may be, can it be properly
held that the constitution, taken in
its plain and obvious sense, and with
due regard to the circumstances at
tending the formation of the gover
ment, authorizes a general unappor
tioned tax on the products of the
farm and the rents of real estate, al
though imposed merely because of
ownership and with no possible means
of escape from payment, as belonging
to a totally different class from that
which included the property from
whence the income proceeds ?
1 here can be but one answer, un
less the constitutional restriction is to
be treated as utterly illusory and fu
tile, and the object of its framers
defeated.
We find it impossible to hold that a
fundamental requisition, deemed fo
important as to be enforced by two
provisions, one affirmative and one
negative, can be refined away by
forced distinctions between that which
gives value to property and the pro
perty itself.
Nor can we perceive any ground
why the same reasoning does not ap
ply to capital in personalty held for
the purpose of income, or of ordinar
ily yielding income, and to the income
therefrom. All the real estate of the
country, and all its invested personal
property, are open to the direct opera
tion of the taxing power of an appor
tionment be made according to the
THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA.
constitution. The . constitution does
ot s ty that no direct tax shall be
laid ly apportionment on anv other
property than land on the contrary,
forbids all unapportioned timet
axe?, and we know ol no warrant tor
xcepting personal property from the
xeicise of the power, or any reason
why an apportioned direct tax can be
aid and assessed, as Mr. Gallatin
said in his report when secretary of
the treasury in 1812, " upon the same
objects of taxation on which the di
ct taxes levied under the authority
of the state are laid and assessed.
Ihe stress of the argument is
tnrown, however, on the assertion
that an income tax is not a property
tax at all : that it is not a real tstate
tax, or a crop tax, or a bond tax ;
that it is an assessment upon the tax
payer on account of his money-spend-
ng power, as shown by his revenue
for the year preceding the assessment;
that rents received, crops harvested,
nterests collected, have lost all con
nection with their origin, and although
once not taxable subiect-mat'er : in
other words, that income is taxable
irrespective of the source from whence
it is derived.
If it were the fact that there had
been no income tax law, such as this,
at the time the constitution was framed
and adopted, it would not be of con
trolling importance. A direct tax
cannot be taken out of the constitu
tional rule because the particular tax
did not exist at the time the rule was
prescribed.
THE SENATE.
To day the case is different. The
Senate has become not only a clog in
the wheels of legislation ; it is a ven
table agent of national corruption as
well. Most of us are reluctantly
losing our respect for an assembly
which acts alternately as a tool ol
special legislation, as an obstruction
to popular demands, and as a " Rich
Man's Club."
At present the Senate does little
e'se than multiply the chances for
spoilshunting, and in a general way
add to the alarming array of political
crimes annually perpetrated upon the
long-suffering American public.
It must be understood that the ob
jection to the prevailing millionaire
senator i3 not his wealth in- itself, but,
his lack of statesmanship, of expert
knowledge, of enthusiasm for the
public good. How can a man who
has made his fortune by special privi
lege be expected to legislate imparti
ally ? The same popular odium at
taches to poor men who are pushed
into the Senate from the lobby to
look after certain interests, as the
phrase is. Their conduct is outlined
for them at the start , their policy is
mortgaged, and they simply pay the
interest on their borrowed capital by
voting as they are told. W. J). Mc
Crackan, in June ItvpmcotCs. "

We Blow Our Own Horn
only to attract your attention. Then
we want to invite you to visit us it
is immaterial whether or not you want
to purchase anything. We are show

Blowing Your Own Horn
is all right when there is no one else
to blow it for you. Whoever sells
first-class goods at low prices can de
pend upon his customers to blow his
horn for him. This is my policy in
the sale of jewelry, watches, silverwar
glasses, &c.
