Wesntre‘ror. tiny s.--’1'he hearing of
the income to: ease ore the supreme
court still continues. and the arguments
are attracting widespread attention. The
courtroom accommodations were more
then eudlelent for these who listened to
Junior Counsel Whitney's dry discussion
of ernment'e oaeo. Even the iue~
time had drowsy. Attorney Getteral
Olney next made a short and powerful er-
gnmcnt. lie naturally commanded more
attention than did his assistant.‘ and. al-
though his address was brief. it was none
the le- edectivs and poworful.
ltuch of the plea was a discussion of the
inability of route in reply to the opinion
on that subject delivered by Chief Justice
Fuller. Many authorities were quoted in
support of the government's position.
many of them new and apparently having
a direct bearing upon the question at is-
ene. Almost every branch of political
economics and of constitutional law was
explored to prove that tho law of 1894 did
not include tho direct taxes oxetnptod by
the «institution.
Only the briefeet time was given to an
illustration of the question of uniformity
in taxation. The government counsel con-
tended that this was purely a geographical
provision. Tho attention paid by Mr. Ul-
noy to the question of route shows what
importance ho' attaches to that branch of
the subject. it the recently delivered
opinion of the court on that count is not
returned. he fears that all of the law wIll
fall with it.
ll r. Olney'a Addreee.
The attorney general said: "I fully up-
preciate the liberuiitv of the court both in
according this rehearing and m the mat-
to! of the time ullowud for argument. 1
miles at tho same time that it cannot be
fairly taken advantage of merely to re—
iternto considerations already fully pro-
moted. and that it should he availed of
only for new matter now proved to be im-
portant. but which. so tar as tho govern-
ment is coumrned. has thus far-.Iboeu prac-
tloally untouched. ‘"
"The pm-ur posture of the case I con-
ceive to be this: The contention of the
government at the former 'heurfng was
that the validity of a general income tax
law could not now be drawn in question,
being conclusively settled by repeated rul-
judlcetlone of this court, as well as by the
uniform and long continued practice of
the other dcmrtmonte of the government.
That contention has been sustained.
though by an equally divided court. with
two exceptions. Ultc relates to the in-
come of state and municipal securities and
presents a question upon which I do not
ask to he rohl-ard at this time.
“The other relates to route of real cs;
tale, in respect to which the position of
the court is that they are not embraced
within the scope of the previous decisions.
This wadiusion is one of which '1 out on-
able to fool the force or appreciate the jus-
tice, and as the question is of imnwnsc
lmpmtence to the government politically
emf weaninrily i shall consume a few mo-
menta in rosmwtfully urging it» reconsid-
oration.
"It is iniportnnt to bear in mind the
precise question. it is not whether there
may not be a tax on rents. which must
he declined to be a tax on land produclug
them. It. is not \vln'llwr u land tux mons-
hrod by route or rental value may not be
the 1mm rtllclunt and most sclcntllic way
of taxing land. The question is. Dora
this inn-mm: lmv ore-rite a tax which is non
mrily to Ian (111!"le a tax on real estate?
"For nrrvwcr. tho imst source of Infor-
mation Is nl t'uurs-au iilu hlllllllt' lisoIf. 'J'Ilo
ntost hllln‘rilt'ilil Mdrulhtition shows that
no mil estate tux. no such, is Intended by
congress if it had been. thorn would have
been a provision for tho upprulaomcnt by
rental value or otherwise oi vacant and
unproductive land. If it burl Iil‘l'll. there
would have boon provision for the appraise
went by rental value or otherwise of
houses and grounds which are occupied as
homesteads and (or purposes of private un-
joyment and plmisuro.
Some Souls-civil Points.
"The owner of vacant unproductive
lands held for investment or stimulation.
whether they be city lots or tiumsands of
unimproved lion's, pays nothing under
this law on account of such lands. The
millionaire with a 0.300.000 mansion in
the city and an woolly costly residence by
the seashore pays nothing under this law.
'The manufacturer or the railroad corpora-
tion. the very basis of whose business is
the intercet in the real estate occupied and
need therefor. pays nothing under this
law on account of such real estate.
“it to impossible tocontend. therefore,
that this law contemplates real estate. as
such, as tho suh'oct of. the tax imposed by
it. if there undid be a poselhlo doubt on
that point. it is excluded by tho enumera-
tion of the subjects of the in: contained
in section 28. Each and every one Is per-
sonal property, and so carefully in the dis-
tinction observed that when the clatrso
imposing the succession to: is reached it
is expressly limited to 'moncy and the
value oi all personal property acquired by
gift or inheritance. '
"Such being the unmistakable purpose
of thalaw. is it true that congrceshue
ltultlflod Itself? is it true that it has
managed to do the precise thing it meant
the result Inmuse a taxpayer‘s rents are
placed among the constituents of his tax-
able income. But the intent of congress
is to he recognized and effectuated it pos-
sible. and lie inclusion of route in taxable
income is not to be endured to defeat that
talent if any legitimate view of the stat-
tlto will prevent it. Can such a view he
teksm I rospee fully submit not only
that It can be. h t that it should bo~thet
it Ie the only movable and lust; view.
“The melon of the court deals with
the ones as if roots were the only subject
of the income tax law. That is not. I sub-
mit. the true way of looking at the mat
ter. not suppose it to he adopted—what

"it is a tax on none of these things.
Neither is it a tax on wealth or property
secretly by valuation, since a men may
rich in leads or goods with compare-
ttvely little income, or' toeysnioy a large
income with comparatively little property.
The taxpayer pays this year according to
his money spending ability of last year.
and it is entirely conceivable that a man
who this year dues not earn a cunt and is
without a cent of property, real or person-
al. may neverthelese be assessed on hun-
dreds of thousands oi dollars of Income
actually received by him last year.
"If the distinction between personaity
and realty in the matter of textlon is m e
by the constitution lteolf~and that is life
necessary assumption of the argument-—
where does this court got the authority to
not it aside as matter oi form? No such
authority exists. The constitutional dis-
criminat ion between realty and personally
for taxable purposes would not exist If
the {routers of the constitution had not
considered it matter of substance.
" it may be that a tax upon personalty
in the shape of route is the some thing to
the landlord pccunlarlly as u tux upon the
land itself. But landlords are not the
only parties concerned. The whole people
of the country are interested. since to them
it In of the first importance that thocon—
stltutlun should be respected In its on-
tirety, and that no branch of the govern-
ment should _undoriako to deal with any
part of it as more matter of form.
"The constitution provides one rule of
taxation for realty and another rule for
personally, and the only legitimate ques—
tion before us is, To which vines. rvnlty or
minimally. do rents received hulong'r it
avails nothing to argue, therefore. that.
pccuuinrily speaking. the landlord might
as well be taxed on his land as on his
routs. 'l'hnt dare not change the nature
of routs as property nor abrogntc the con-
etltutlonai rule for their taxation."
