It was definitely learned to day
that at the consultation of the jus
tices Saturday, Justice Jackson voted
with Justices Brown, White, Harlan
and Shira? to sustain the constitu
tionality of the income tax law, and
the Tote to be announced next Mon
day will stand 5 to 4 in favor of the
law. It is also learned that Justice
Jackson's attitude was understood
by his colleagues on the bench be
fore he cime to Washington. He
has at all times been fully advised
as to the merits of the case and was
furnished with the record and the
lawyers' briefs so that he was fully
prepared to vote when the justices
I met in consultation. His reason for
coming to Washington was to gratify
the desire of the court to have the
income tax case settled deoisiyely,
so that the court would not be left
divided on such an important ques
tion with a possibility of endless
litigation.
Ik is learned, moreover, that the
re-argument did not change the
views of a single justice, and the
points decided unconstitutional in
the original opinion are still held to
be so. It is said that some members
of the court are disposed to believe
that the majority may have gone a
little too far in exempting rents
from the income tax, but the vote
taken Saturday did not cause a
change of heart among those who
voted to exempt real estate and
municipal bonds.
The coming decision, upholding
the law, will not by any means ter
minate the fight to overthrow the
income tax, although it will enable
the treasury officials to collect the
revenue to be derived from it with
less embarrassment than if the re
argument had not occurred.
The income tax returns already
received at the Treasury department
are being: classified and recorded
Although the officials are extremely
reticent on the subject it is believed
that the rent exemptions will amount
to oO per cent of the whole. The
whole number of returns made
under the law are approximately
oO.OOO, and the estimate is made
