lost Important Features.
NO TAX CAN BE COLLECTED OS
BONDS OR RENTS.
THE ENTIRE ACT ESCAPES ONLY
BY A TIE VOTE.
Justices White and Field Dissent In
Regard to Essential Features.
Chief Justice Fuller announced the
decision of the United States supreme
court in the income tax cases Monday.
Ho began by staling the exceptions to
the law as made by counsel for the ap¬
pellant as follows:
1. That the act imposes a direct tax
in respect of the real estate, rents, is¬
sues and profits of personal property viola¬
and not being apportioned is in
tion of section two of article one of
the constitution.
2. That the law, if not imposing a
direct tax, is nevertheless unconstitu¬
tional in that its provisions are not
uniform throughout the United States
and do not operate with the same force
and effect upon the subject of the tax
wherever found, and in that it provides
in favor of individLials and co-partner¬
ships, while denying all exemptions to
corporations having similar incomes
derived from like property and valnes
and provides for other exemptions and
inequalities in violation of section
eight of article one of the constitu¬
tion.
3. That the act provides no exemp¬
tion of the tax upon incomes derived
from the stocks and bonds of states of
the United States and counties and
municipalities therein, which stocks
and bonds are not proper subjects for
the taxing power of congress. The in¬
come from these securities in the
United States amounts to over $65,
000.000 per annum, on which the to¬
tal annual income tax would be $1,-
300,000.
CONSTITUTIONAL POINTS INVOLVED.
He then took up the constitutional
points involved, dwelling upon, the
fact that the constitution required the
appointment of direct taxes and uni¬
formity in excises and imposts. He
also dwelt upon the question of repre¬
sentation and taxation, which was, he
said, a foremost one when the consti¬
tution was adopted.
He then took up the question of the
tax on rents, and in so doing discussed,
at considerable length the question of
direct taxes as considered at the time
of the framing of the constitution.
The framers of the constitution
were, he said, well versed in the gov¬
ernment of the colonies and of Euro¬
pean countries, and were well versed
in the literature of the period, includ¬
ing works on political economy and
were well calculated to pass intelli¬
gently on this kind.
He quoted various supreme court
decisions and sought to show that
while the income tax question had
been before the court, the question
had only been considered as applying
to the point at issue in the particular
cases.
THE TAX DURING THE WAR.
Coming down to the present tariff
act, he said that the law was passed in
a time of profound peace and it was to
be taken as evidence that congress had
sought in this matter to form a prece¬
dent and establish a departure from
established lines, and it, therefore,
became important to inquire into the
circumstances with some attention to
detail. For the purpose of compari¬
son, he went back to the enactment f
an income tax during the civil war. ids.
quoted from the decision in the
Springer case, giving a history of the
case and devoting much attention to
it, as he said that it was upon this case
that the defense had appaiently relied
more generally than any precedent.
It is,\he said, conceded in all the caseB
from Hylton to Springer that taxes on
land are direct taxes, while in some
of them it is determined that taxes on
rents, derived from land, are
indirect taxes. Was there, he asked,
any distinction between a tax on
the land or the income derived
from the land! What, in other words,
was the land but profit on it? The
name of the tax is unimportant, and
the court had been unable to see any
distinction. He closed by saying that
the court had reached the conclusion
that the tax on rents was invalid.
The chief justice then took up the
question of the taxation of municipal
and state bonds. The decision was
also adverse to this part of the law as
repugnant to the constitution.
On the other points, the court was
divided and, therefore, no opinion
could be given.
Summing Up the Points.
The conclusion* of the court were
stated as follows:
1. That by the constitution federal
taxation is divided into two great
| classes—direct taxes and duties, ira
| posts and excises.
; 2. That the imposition of direct
| taxes is governed by the rule of ap
| portionment according to among numbers, the and several the imposi¬ states,
tion of duties, imposts and excises by
the rule of uniformity throughout the
United States.
3. That the princijile that taxation
and representation go together was
intended to be and was prescribed in
the constitution by the establishment
oi tne rule of apportionment among
the several states, so that such appor¬
tionment should be according to num¬
bers in each state.
4. That the states surrendered their
power to levy imposts and to regulate
commerce to to the general govern¬
ment and gave it the concurrent
power to levy direct taxes in reliance
on the protection afforded by the rules
prescribed, and that the compromises
of the constitution cannot be disturb
ed by legislative action.
5..That these conclusions result
from the text of the constitution and
are supported by the historical evi¬
dence furnished by the circumstances
surrounding the framing and adoption
of that instrument, and the views of
those who framed and adopted it.
6. That the understanding and ex
pectation at the time of the adoption
of the constitution was that direct
taxes would not be levied by the gen
eral government except under the
pressure of extraordinary exigency,
and such has been the practice down
to August 15, 1894. If the power to
do so is to be exercised as an ordinary
and usual means of supply, that fact
furnishes an additional reason for cir
cumspection in disposing of the pres
ent case.
7. That taxes on real estate belong
to the class of direct taxes, and that
the taxes on the rent or income of real
estate, which is the incident of its
ownership, belong to the same Jlass.
8. That by no previous decision of
this court has this question been ad¬
judicated to the contrary of the con¬
clusions now announced. That so
much of the act of August 15, 1894,
as attempts to impose a tax upon the
rent or income of real estate without
apportionment is invalid.
QUARLES AND BUTLER GUILTY.
The Hanging Branch of the Worley
Case Ended.
After two hours of deliberation the
jury in the case of the two alleged
whitecappers, John Quarles and Dave
Butler, in the United States court at
Atlanta, returned a verdict of guilty
Saturday afternoon. By reason of
that verdict the defendants will be re¬
quired to serve for a term of years in
the Ohio penitentiary.
The verdict was signed by E. S.
Freeman, of Cartersville, Ga., as fore¬
man, and simply read: “We, the jury,
find the defendants, John Quarles,
Sr., and David Butler, guilty.”
This ends one of the most important
cases that has ever been tried in the
southern district of Georgia. It deals
with a class of violators that makes it
one of the most peculiar trials on rec¬
ord. In the same bill of indictment
the following parties are accused of
conspiracy to hang Worley: James
McEntire, J. A. Dickson, Merrill
Woods, Hardy Phipps, Frank Gilbert,
James McCutcheon, Bob Anderson,
Harris Bramlett, T. M. Wright, Brad¬
ley Thornton, Huse Nelson, Tobe
Smith, George Hartsell and several
others.
The question now arises, what be¬
comes of them? In all likelihood, if
a new trial is not granted by Judge
Newman, they will enter pleas of
guilty.
It is definitely stated that the kill¬
ing branch of the Worley case will not
be taken up at present, as has been
stated heretofore. This means that
all the witnesses must return home
and appear again when summoned.
The cases will go to the United States
supreme court, and it is understood
that if there is an effort made to take
up the killing branch by the United
States court, writs of habeas corpus
will be taken out. The same demur¬
rers filed in the first branch will be
filed in the killing branch.
In connection with the Worley case,
old man Ben Hemphill, a father-in
law of one of the defendants, will be
indicted and prosecuted for perjury.
He stated on the stand that he made
one statement to District Attorney
James and that he swore to a lie on
the stand.
SAFE ARRIVAL IN LIBERIA
Of the Two Hundred Negro Emigrants
Who Embarked at Savannah.
News was received in Philadelphia
Saturday that the steamship Horsa,
which sailed from Philadelphia some
weeks ago for Savannah, and there
took on board about 200 emigrants for
Liberia, had arrived at Monrovia, and
after safely landing her passengers
had proceeded to Barbadoes. From
the latter place she will return to
Philadelphia, from which city the next
contingent of emigrants will be ship¬
ped. They will come from various
sections of the south, and will be sent
out from Philadelphia because of bet¬
ter shipping facilities at that port.
Those who have gone to Liberia to
live have each been provided with a
piece of land and provisions for three
months.
BIGHT CONDITIONS
PROPOSED BY JAPAN IN ORDER
TO MAKE PEACE.
Seven of Them Have Been Accepted
by Li Hung Chang.
The cable announcement that seven
of Japan’s eight conditions have been
accepted by Peace Commissioner Li
Hung Chang, is very gratifying to
diplomats in Washington, who have
no longer any doubt that a peace proc¬
lamation will speedily result. As un¬
derstood, the eight conditions were as
follows:
1. Independence of Corea.
2. Cession of Formosa.
3. Cession of Liau-Tong, promon¬
tory, including Port Arthur.
4. War indemnity.
5. Admission of machinery into
China and permission to foreigners to
establish factories.
6. Modification of the likin tax and
an extension of the system of transit
passes for imports.
7. Opening of certain Chinese rivers
to commerce, including the Yangtse
Kiang to Chung King; Siang, from
Hankow, on the I’angtse, to Siang
Tan-Kiang; Canton river Ouchow,
and Woosung and its canals as far as
Suchow and Hang-Chow.
8. Kailwav privileges and similar
concessions to Japanese and foreign
j capitalists. In addition to these conditions it
j believed that certain promises will is
j he
j exacted from China,the terms of which
are to remain secret. The condition
' which it is thought has yet been
not
j accepted by Li Hung is that numbered
j three in the above, providing for oc
enpation of the portion of the territo¬
ry known as Kegents Sword and the
citadel of Port Arthur. That this
would be most strenuously opposed by
China has all along been undoubted
and it has been predicted that it
might prove a stumbling block of
such dimensions as to prevent peace,
unless some compromise could be
agreed upon as to the length of occupa¬
tion, the Chinese being likely to insist
that it should not be permanent.
All other conditions except that of
indemnity have been subjects of diplo¬
matic consideration for many years,
and all treaty powers are as deeply in¬
terested in them as Japan has been.
The United States has been particu¬
larly active in urging the likin tax,
which is not unlike the octroi of
France, though less reasonable and
less limited than the French system.
The independence of Corea has al¬
ways been contention, and the
United States has firmly maintained
that Corea was to be treated as an in¬
dependent nation, Bince her minister
at Washington was recognized ten
years ago.
NEW ENEMY OF COTTON.
A Destructive Pest Brought Over
from Mexico.
The department of agriculture at
Washington has just issued a circular
to cotton planters relative to a new has
and very destructive insect that
been brought across the Rio Grande
from Mexico into the cotton belt of
Texas and which, during 1894, seri¬
ously injured the cotton crop over a
territory of about five thousand square
miles. It punctures the bolls with its
beak and lays eggs in the hole thus
made. The grubs hatch and ruin both
the seed and fiber, thus destroying
simultaneously both produots of the
cotton plant.
The Texas legislature, at the sug¬
gestion of the agricultural department,
is discussing the question of quaran¬
tining the cotton from the infected
section and the enforcement of the
remedial work by act of law. The de¬
partment of agriculture has located appointed at
a skillful agent, who is
Brownsville, Tex., and who will study
the life, history and habits of the new
pest and experiment extensively with
remedies during the coming season
under the direction of Mr. E. O.
Howard, chief entomologist of the de¬
partment. Inasmuch as the insect is
new to American cotton planters, there
is much yet to be learned about its
habits before practical remedies can
be suggested. This insect is now in
Texas and threatens to spread to other
cotton states, and the entire south is,
therefore, interested in the problem
now confronting the Texas legislature.
