WAsinso-nis; April 3S. The full text
of the opinion of Chief Justice Fuller
in the inc me tax cawsn recently an-
nounced in the Riipreme court has been
mndc pit hi ic. Tho chief justice's opin-
ion dwells uiHiit the contention of the
claimants in the eu3s (Pollard vr.
Knriners' Uian and Trust Co. and Hyde
vs. the Continental Trust lo.) against
the constitutionality of the law. hjiiI
in a dissertation upon the matter of
taxes within the meaning of the con-
stitution refers to the historical cir-
euiustuncos attending the framing and
adoption of that instrument and ns to
what at the time of that event were
recognized as direct taxes.
"Congress" says the chief justice
"under the articles of confederation
hud no actual operative power of taxa-
tion. It could call upon the states for
their respective contributions or ipiotas
as previously determined upon but in
the eue of the failure or omission of
the state to furnish such contribution
there was no means of compulsion as
emigre's had no power to lay any tax
upon individuals."
in the course of his elaborate pro-
duction the chief justice says: "The
requirement of the constitution is that
no direct tax shall be laid otherwise
than by apportionment the prohibi-
tion is not against direct luxe on land
from which the implication is sought
to lc drawn that indirect tuxes on
hind would te constitutional but it is
against all ifirect taxes and it is ad-
mitted Hint a tax on real estate is n
direct tnx L'nless therefore a tux
iijhui lents or income issuing
out of lands Is intrinsically so
dilTcrent from it tax on the land itself
that it belongs to n wholly different
class of taxes such taxes must be re-
garded us falling within the same cat
egory as a tax on real e tnte eo nomine.
The real question K is there any basis
nixin wnich to rest tho contention that
real estute belongs to one of Hie two
great classes of tflxes. nnd the rent
or income which is the incident of its
ownership belong to the other? We
are unable to perceive any ground for
theulleed distinction. Nothing can
be clearer than that what the consti-
tution intended to guard against
was the exercise be the general gov-
ernment of the power of directly
taxing persons and property within
any state through a majority made
up fiom the other states and wo are
of the opinion that the law in ques-
tion so far as It lavics a tax on the
rents or incomes of real estate is in
violation of the constitution and is in
valid. The tax on government stocks"
the chief justice further cites "i
thought by this court to be a tax on
the contract a tux on tin) jMiwer to
lsirrow money on the eredil of Uib
United States und consequently to bo
repugnant to the constitution."
Upon each of the other questions
argued ut bar to-wit: Whether the
void provisions us to iuiiU and income
from real estate luvali late the whole
act; whether ns to the income from
personal property as such the act is
unconstitutional as laying direct tax.
whether any part of tho tax if not
considered as a direct tax is invalid
for want of uniformity on either of the
grounds suggested the justices who
held the argument are equally divided
ami. therefore no opinion is ex-
pressed. The result is that the decree of this
circuit court is reversed and the ouusc
remanded with directions to enter a
decree in favor of the complainant in
respect only of the voluntary payment
of the tax on the rents and Income of
thu real estute of the defendant capital
and of that which it holds in trust
and on the income from the municipal
bonds owned or so held by it.
