INCOME TAX CASKS DP.
ARGUMENT BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT
BEGUN,
A NOTARLE ARRAT OF COVXWh NtMBNT-W. I?.
OlTHRIfl OPES? rX)R THOS? WHO
AME CONTWTISa THE LAW.
Washington. March : -The expectation that the
Income rax rasea would be argued ?n the Supreme
Couri of ?:?? Cnlted State! to lay was responsible
? ?he opening of court of an
unusually large aumber of attorney! ami spec
Utors desIrin? to hear the eminent counsel en?
gaged Bui II wn;i "'': ,ow*rt rho rlo*p "f ,h?
day's session before thP Court called the cases.
the intervening time being occupied by argument
of causea previously on the docket. Beeldes the
vleira of the strikli g array of counsel engaged In
th* case, there waa also furnished to tho court a
remarkah:." amount and variety ol literature.
When vV. D. Guthrie, of New-York, began the
argument, speaking for the appellants, ?rho antaK
onize the law, there aras a remarkable gathering
In the courtroom, of counsel connected with the
ease there were Attorney-General Olney, Asi
Attorney-General Whitney, James C Carter and
w . Gulliver, representing the Governmenl and
those who uphold the law; Joseph H. Choate, ex
Benator Edmunds, I. W Wlleon, Clarence \ Sew
ard. W. 1? Guthrie, David Wllcos and Charles
Ht<-eie. R. T. Hough, Solicitor of internal Revenue,
wa? also present. Among the spectators were
Representative McMlllIn, of Tennessee, the author
of 'he income Tas law. and ea-Representatlve
William M Springer, of Illinois, whose contest
with the Government a number of vears a?ro ovr
the law of IM reaulted In a dec'aration by the Su?
preme Courl Of the fnltl I States that an income
tax was no? S direct tax. In that .-ase the question
raised In this, as to the uniformity of the tax. was
rot raise.i
Mr. Guthrie appeared especially for LOUIS H.
Hyde, a stockholder m the Farmers' Loan and
Trust Company of New-York. He confined him?
self to a presentation of the contention that the
law was unconstitutional because of its Inequality,
lack of uniformity and numerous metal exceptions.
The ripht and power of Congress to tax Incomes
irom Investments in municipal bonds were expressly
denied by Mr. Guthrie. The right of the stock
i , n iration, th?- management of which
proposed voluntarily to pay the tax, to seek re'.lef
by an lr..1\inction. Mr. Guthrie asserted, was wed
established In the case ol Dodge au't Wolsey
?is Howard?, and the principles laid down in that
case had been affirmed by the Supreme Court of
the United state?. The Earmere' Loan and Trust
Company, he said, had a capital stock of H.000.000,
mith a surplus of I5.O0O.000, doing business .-it a
profit of 000.000 annual!] It owned real estate
of the value ,,f $? OOO.t ?'. with an annual rent roll
of ISO.000; It s an?ed c . worth of municipal
bond?, from wl received $? ?? interest an.
rmally. It also held as trustee, for minors and
other benel er 100 parcels of real estate,
from which It collected r>T.ts. if the management
did not preserve its rights, and the law should be
he! 1 t ' be unconstitutional, the corporation would
become Involve 1 ?n Irisation With these minora
and other beneficiaries.
The law was unconstitutional, also, counsel
averred, for the reason that it was class legisla?
tion. That it was class legislation the brief of the
Attorney-tleneral distinctly admitted, as tl
lowing- quotation would prove: "Congreaa I .s
adopted as the minimum Income for the purposes
of taxation the limit of M.000. The limit may be
said now to divide the upper from the lower ml I
dle class, financially speaking, in the larger cities;
or to divide the middle ? lass from the wealthy in
the country districts " Mr Guthrie then proceeded
at length to show that the liw made Illegal ? ?
tions, and illustrating this, said that a mutual in?
surance company in New-York City, with a sur?
plus of |lM.Ms\mn>. w.iuii be exempt from .1 t.,x of
000,101 a year, which their principal rival In the
Fame Im?nese, i onductlng it for the same purpose,
but operating as a stock concern, mus? pay. The
exception of the?,-- mutual and other semi or wholly
benevolent Institutions savings banks, building
and loan associations and th? like it waa i in
tended, was In violation of the constitution and
rendered the law null ar.-i void. The Attorney
General, in h la lirief, sail Mr. Guthrie, hal argued:
".Similar discriminations ant exemptions have al?
ways been familiar In Federal legislation, never
before have l>een questioned, and have (he fore?
o? a practical construction of th< Coi tltut
They have been familiar In State legislation, have
been question? l. an i in the absence of p* ullar
restrictions In State Constitutions hava bet
ways suata)
"Wo challenge the rectness of that state?
ment," Mr. Guthrie added. "We have ;. ?
able to fin i a s.i.cie such exception or llsci n -,
tlon in ai.v "f the previous h ? tas m - ;
of which nave been furnished the court."
"I'pon what ' nsti itional Inhibition do you base
your argument' ' Inau n : J isti ? Harlan.
"Upon the la'k. of uniformity, required by th*?
first section of Article VIII, and the fifth amend?
ment to th? i institution, answered Mr. Guthrie.
Further discussing this point ol Inequality anl dis?
crimination. Mr. Guthrie asked th? n I to
the situation had th. majorlt) of Congress voted
to assess a to\ upon mut ial ? rporations ai l ex?
empt stock corporatl ?ns. 1 am ol the opinion that
It would have been a severe t:ix upon youi patience
t> listen to an argument In favor of such s pi ?po?
sit! n. And yet. If the power of discrimination and
favoritism exl-ts in Comrrcss, tic Court cannot -*a\.
?Th ;s far and no farthti ahall y ?u go.' The power
to discriminate granted, the powei ?? ml ate and
destroy necessarily f ?llows. '
the q lest Ion of mil ?rmlty of the tax. which
the Constitution requires, Mr Guthrie said the con?
tention of t.':- Governmenl and other advocatea of
the '.aw, that the uniform!", was a geographical lim?
it?t) n merely, waa unsound .c ! untenable The
uniformity required related to the application if
the tas to th? ; ir:.--. ?ff.'-. I, ;ir. equal apportloi
ment: and a uniformity which resulted only In
spread . - ? of the tax over the whole
country would not serve, That It waa got a geo
graphical preference merely which was denied, Mr
Guthrie Kai :. ?.?.;.- fully >hown bj the language of
the very next section in ?.v;e Constitution, relating
to the aaaeasment .-?? ?; coll? rtlon of customs where
in a preference to u port over anothei waa ,
prohibited.
At this point the hour fur adjournment arrived
and Mr. Guthrie i argument, which he :
wtll conclude in the morning clarence A. Seward
w... follow him, against tht a? then Assistant At
torney-Qeneral Whitney will apeak for the law;
ex-Senator Edmunda against It: Attornev-Gcnero]
fdnev and.I. C Carter ioi th? law, and Joseph li
( h ate w:,. close the argument In opposition. In
response to a suggestion from Mr Edmunds to-dsy,
Chief Justice Fuller tntln ? t the time allowed
for argument would be enlarged from ten to
twelve hour.-.

Washington, March 7.-The "cuckoos" and Ad?
ministration newspapers appear to hope that by
constant repetition of the statement they can make
the country believe that the refusal of the l.IIId
Congress to rote "a lump sum" of MCOWI f?r the
payment of certain alleged awards "of the Tribunal
Of Arbitration ' on account of los?. ? to which cer
taln alleged subjects of Greet ttritain w-.-re sub?
jected by the United states, ?hi h setsed a number
of vessels engaged in seal poaching in Behring
Sets, was somehow a violation of treaty oMIgatlona
and National pood faith. A more false and ?round
less assertion ind representation was never made
In defence .?nil advocacy of any n.-t of the present
Administration, and that la savin? a good deal.
And jret the *ecretary <.f State is quoted by Ad?
ministration newspapers as saying, since the .\
pir.nion of th.- i.iiii Congress, that "ihe refusal
of Congress to make any disposition of the matter
places the Government in a very embarrassing
position. I: will enable ?iront Britain to charge
that the I'nlted Slates has violated i treaty. It I'
an awkward position and one in which the United
States ought not to be placed." The se.-ret.-ir>
seems to have .hi Idea that whst be ..ills "the

clude the legislative department thereof. Hot it
is not worth while to do in.in- thin refer t" that.

ONE THING IS SETTLED.
IT IS WKI.l, WORTH KNOWIX?? N'?W THAT
GRIP IS STRIKING DOWN FEEHl.K PEOPLE.
The economy of a nation Is disturbed when
great amounts of money are hoarded Instead of
being kept in free circulation. The economy of
the human body puffers when the blood Is stored
j up In certain organs while others hive scarcely
| enough to Uve Oft. This hoarding Of blood Is
i <alle<| congestion, and It Is one of the dangers of
! th< present outbreak of grip, it affects lungs,
stomach and bowohn
! Congestion unrelieved becomes inflammation
? and every Intelllg-nt petWOP knows what that
, means when the centres of Ufe are affected.

An offer of B&.OO0 has l.e-n made for three lots

been made b) th- school trustees of thi.? ward, who
are ?Bernard Oordoa, William n Towaley, Jame?
.1 Keslts, Jantes n. Mulry anl Jam.s HetTernan.
The property belongs to the Crost? estate sad is
at present covered with four thr.story wooden
buildings which are m a rather dilapidated con?
dition. The propert) is wanted for the purpose of
building an addition to Orammar School No. j,
which is greatl) in need of more room.
A few years ago th.- trustees of tins school rented
a tenement-house building just east of numniar
s i"" 1 Ko. .'. in 11. tiry st.. and fitted it up at the
, OS ,.f SIMM as .?n annex. This annex Is wretched?
ly lighted and by no means meets th- demand for
school accommodations in this neighborhood The
building Itself is ? ramshackle structure, and long
strips of wood hav- been nailed on th.? ceding? to
prevent th.- plaster from falling down. The esaV
:ti?> are not mor?' than !? feet hluh. and the chil?
dren sitting farthest from the windows do not have
sufficient light with which to study. Oi dark or
rainy da>s the teachers m this annex are com
11. iie.i to close the books rntlrel) and resort to oral
teaching. l?r. William l. Rttlnger, the principal of
th.- school, said t" a Tribune reporter yesterday:
