Choate and Guthrie—The Gov- ernment’s Position—Five Hours Allowed Each Side. WASHINGTON, May 7.—Mr. Justice Jack- SOn’s appearance on the supreme bench was the leading Incident of today’s proceedings in the income tax case. His presence gave the court a full bench for the first time in a year. The court was crowded long be- fore the black robcd justices filed into the chamber, and as on the previous occasions the fair sex was out in force. There was an imposing array of counsel within the bar, including err-Secretary Bristow of New York, who is associated with Messrs. Choate and Guthrie in the pending case. Mr. Choate was early on the scene with a bundle of papers in his hand and a copy of his newbriefs. Judge Shel- labarger, who is associated with J ere- miah Wilson in the Moore cases, was pres- ent. Reginald Feudal], Commissioner of Patents Simmons, Van Ness Phillips, Judge Jackson of Indiana, Senator Cock- rell of Missouri, John A. Kasson, L. Q. Washington and Attorney General Barber of South Carolina were also on hand. . Before the court met Messrs. Choate and Guthrie filed a brief of 117 pages, but the attorney general withheld the filing of his brief until after the court convened. To the disappointment of the crowd present, the court began by announcing decisions in accumulated cases and did not appear to share the anxiety and ex- citement prevailing among the spectators to hear the arguments in the income tax cases. ‘ Conspicuous at the front table reserved for the attorneys was Representative Ben- ton McMillin of Tennessee, who is charged with the responsibility of ingrafting the income tax upon the tariff bill. Choate and Guthrie’s Brief. Every seat and every available foot of standing room was occupied when Mr. Justice White opened the proceedings by rendering the decision of the court in an unimportant case. Ex-Speaker Crisp was also an interested listener to the proceed- ings. Assistant Attorney General Whitney and Solicitor General Holmes Conrad were close to Attorney General Olney. The brief of Messrs. Ghosts and Guth- rie, after reciting the circumstances con- nected with the original decision and the order of the court for a rehearing, goes on to say: “It may not be amiss to observe that while these sections of the Wilson tariff act have been sub judice upon the ground of their unconstitutionality, the department of justice has itself been carrying on a con- test upon precisely that ground against Certain sections of the McKinley tariff act. ”The objections made against these sec- tions have been that they discriminated un- lawfully among different classes of tax- payers and used the taxing power to pro- mote the interests of some at the expense of others. These objections have been urged with such ability and success that this department of the executive branch of the government has procured a judg- ment of the judicial branch that these sec- tions of a revenue act passed by the legis- lative branch are unconstitutional and void (U. S. ex rel., Miles Plantin com- pany versus Carlisle. court of appeals of the District of Columbia, Jan. 8, 1895, 28 Washington Law Reporter, 33). “It cannot excite comment, much less criticism, that private citizens in protec- tion of their own property have pursued the same course. Nor does it seem that the taxpayers of the present day can be properly deprived of their constitutional rights. because it is suggested that similar injustice has been done in previous in- stances. The Former Income Tax. “The only previous income tax known in,the country’s history arose from the necessities of the civil war. Up to the close of 1866 it is computed that the gov- ernment had expended for war purposes more than $4,000,000,000, yet only $126,- 082,845 came from this income tax. This shows how insignificant a part that tax played in supplying the country’s require- ments at the time of its s‘rcatest necessity. What saved the country was its high financial credit and the patriotic attach- ment of its citizens to the system of gov- ernment guaranteed by its constitution. “These resources, it is earnestly submit- ted, will be must surely preserved by faith- ful administration of its fundamental law, not by efforts to fritter away the bulwarks of private rights and private property which were established thereby us condi- tions of the country’s existence. "Applying, then, the rules which are laid down by the distinguished jurists above named, it will be shown that the statutory provisions now in question must be held unconstitutional and void. ” In conclusion the brief says: "It is clear therefore that congress cannot tax a mere franchise of incorporations, a right to exist granted by the states. But even if the court were inclined to uphold the power of congress to tax the mere privilege or franchise to be a corporation which is conferred by the states, it is admitted that this act does not purport to levy a franchise tax and was not based upon any such the- o . - 1" Discrimination Alleged. “All poqsessing such privilege or fran- chise are not created a class and subject thereto. On the contrary the tax is im- posed upon thc income of a number of these possessing the franchise, but not upon the income of numerous other ag- gregations of individuals, equally possess- ing and exercising the privilege to be a corporation, and it is imposed not merely on corporations. but on companies or asso‘ clations, no matter how created or organ- ized. ” The discrimination is leveled also at organizations not possessing any corpo- rate franchise, and it does not .apply to all of any class, whether corporate or oth- erwise. , “Manifestly, therefore, such a statute cannot be deemed to have classified the more corporate privilege or franchise grant- . ed by the states as abasis for taxation. Whatever may be the power of congress, it has as yet made no effort to impose such a franchise tax, and the act under discus- sion cannot be sustained on any such , ground. “The appellants, therefore, insist that the provisions as to.,the incoine tax embod- ied in the tarifl act of Aug. 28, 1894, are unconstitutional because: ' “First.—The'taxes thereby imposed are direct taxes and should have been appor- tioned among the states. “Second—The law is unconstitutional also because it attempts to impose a tax Advertise in the Gimme. upon incomes derived from municipdl bonds. . “Third—The whole law should be de- clared unconstitutional on the ground that essential and inseparablecparts thereof are invalid. ' “Fourth—If considered as indirect tax- es—namely, duties or exoises—these pro- visions are unconstitutional, because they are: “(8.) SO unequal and partial as not to be within the taxing power. ' , “(b) Not uniform throughout the United States, and ' ‘ ‘ (0) They violate the prohibition of tak- ing private property without due process of law or for public use with cut just com- pensation. j‘ The decrees should be reversed and the causes remanded to the court below to he proceeded with in conformity with the judgment of this court declaring the whole law to be unconstitutional. ” It was 12:50 O’clock when the incOme tax case was reached. Chief Justice Fuller announced the de- termination ot the court to grant a rehear- ing and called attention to the presence of Mr. Justice Jackson. He stated that the whole case would be open to argument. Mr. Choate said five hours would be suffi- cient for each side, and the court made that order. Mr. Guthrie opened the argument for the opponents of the tax. He proceeded to recite the‘great importance to all the people of the United States of the ques- tions involved in the pending cases. He said he realized that those who filed the motion for a rehearing faced the op- position of many of those who opposed the tax, but who hesitated to reopen the case. He said his clients felt that in view thus by the former decision it was a duty they owed to the whole country to try to lay before the court all the facts in the case, and rest them with the court to de- termine in their wisdom what was best to be done to settle the complications how surrounding the collection of the tax. He said that under the existing condi- tions the people would only pay the tax under protest,and that its collections would be followed by unbounded litigation. It was observed that Mr. Guthrie direct- ed his argumeut particularly at Mr. J us- tice Jackson. The latter seemed to appre- ciate the fact, for he kept his gaze fixed upon the young attorney. The ‘ Government’s Position. The attorney general, in his brief, says: “No further discussion will be made by the government upon the status of munic- ipal bonds. The three questions upon which the court was equally divided will be open to argument. Upon the second question relating to rentals including in- come tax returns, not only does the gov- ernment ask with confidence I). rehearing, but it will show that the question as now presented is one which the court has not actually heard and decided at all. "This controversy does not come before the court as motions for rehearing ordi- narily do upon the former record, but the argument now is substantially upon a new record and comes before the court as if a mandate of reversal upon the first hearing had been followed by new evidence and as if this Were an , appeal from the doors: upon that second hearing.”- ' ACTIVE ROYALISTS. British Influence Is Said to Be at Work In Hawaii. SAN FRANCISCO, May 8.—The steamer Gaelic arrived from Honolulu. She brings the following advices under date of April 29: Minister Hatch has received a commu- nication from Secretary Gresham, through United States Minister Willis, in regard to naturalized Hawaiians applying for the protection of the United States. The com- munication deals entirely with the case of J. F. Bowler, who called on the United States to interfere in his behalf. Bowler was convicted on a charge Of misprision of treason, in connection with the recent re- bellion. Mr. Gresham states that the United States government cannot inter— fere. Evidence is at hand that shows British influence is at work at Honolulu. The natives are in a state of expectancy, and word has been passed quietly among them that within a short time restoration would be a fact. In that event Kaiulani is to be made queen. Bishop Willis, the head of the English church in this country, is said to be the man who is going among the na- tives with the information. British Consul Haws is also mentioned in this connection. New hope on the part of the natives has given the annexation movement a setback. The government has received no news from Secretary Gresh- am about Minister Thurston’s alleged re- call. Rumor of impending revolution is still rife. and the stories are of such a nature that some alarm is felt in government cir- cles. Information comes from the island of Hawaii to the effect that the residents are contemplating secession from the group, claiming as a reason for the step that they do not receive their share of money from public improvements. The Hawaiian government is now put- ting into effect measures to equalize arid perhaps change altogether the immigra- tion stream. Alimited number of Chi- nese field laborers are to be brought in un- der restrictions by authority of the act of 1892. For the present the board of immi- gration will refuse all applications for fur- ther importations of Japanese contract la- borers. It is the intention of the govern- ment and the planters to encourage by ev- ery means immigration from Europe. - Negotiations are now under way for more Portuguese. In this regard matters may shape themselves in a manner that may delay Mr. Thurston in this country. It is said that a new immigration bureau is to be created, and, if so. he will be of- fered the chairmanship. ' From the French Standpoint. PARIS. May 9.—The Figaro today, oom- menting upon the attitude of the United States toward Japan. says: ”What pre- vented the United States from joining England at the time of the intervention of the three powers in the east was not indif- ference toward Japan, which has now be- come a great power, but a desire to remain faithful to their traditional policy. The «United Staes would not raise an objection 'to J apan’s taking the gulf of Pechyi. This attitude cleared the political horizon when the three powers did not recognize th treaty of Simonosekifl’ ~ The Matin remarks: "A change has oc- curred in the world outside of Europe. England no longer lays down the law. If chestnuts are to be taken out ‘of the fire, there will also be largepieces taken out of certain mouths, and this is only a begin- ning. ” . . Tho S‘oleil touches on the eastern ques- tion with the following suggestion: “The services rendered to Russia and Germany in. securing a revision of the treatyrshould result in the cesslon _Of the Pescadore is- lands to France, since the presence there of the Japanese is as menacing to- France .l’i'" as they would be at Port Arthur to Bus- 0 of the unsettled condition of the case left- Cleaning and Dyeing. ‘ Gent’s Clothes Cleaned.
