INCOME TAX VALID,
SAYS SUPREME COURT
The Decision Waa Unanimous One.
Expected Levies on Great Fortunes
Will Be Mads, Etc.
Washington.—The Income tax was
declared constitutional Monday by the
aup»— eornrt la a unanimous rtsfla<
Jon which swept aside every conten-
tion raised against it and, in the opin
ion of congressional leaders, opened
the way for increasing the tax rate on
great fortunes to help pay for nation-
al defense.
The decision was announced by
Chief Justice White and was unani-
mous. It was rendered in the appeal
of Frank R. Brushaber from the ae-
tion of the New York federal court
in refusing to enjoin the Southern Pa-
cific^ of which Brushaber was a stock-
holder, from paying the tax. The
case raised substantially every point
involved In all the five Income tax
cases before the court with the ex-
ception of the effect of the provision
allowing mining corporations to make
a 6 per cent deduction annually from
gross Income for depletion of mines.
This provision is regarded aa being
an amendment to the old corporation
tax, rather than a feature of the in-
come tax. '
The basic error of those who at-
tacked the constitutionality of the
tax, Chief Justice White held, was In
regarding the sixteenth amendment as
empowering the United States to levy
a direct tax without apportionment
among the states, according to popula-
tion. In substance, the court held that
the sixteenth amendment had not em-
powered the federal government to
levy a new tax, but that “the whole
purpose of the amendment was to re-
lieve all income taxes from a consid-
eration of the source whence the in-
come was derived.”
