THE AMERICAN INCOME TAX.
DECLARED TO BE ILLEGAL
Press Association—By Telegraph-Copyright
Washington, May 21. The Supreme Coxirt maintained the illegality of the income tax.
Five Judges opposed the income tax and four favoured it. The Court held that a direct tax on real estate and personal property could not be charged in accordance with the Constitution. Mr Justice Harlan considered the decision would injuro the authority of the Government in the emergeucy, relieve wealth, wickedly assault the people's right, and might cause a uational disaster.
