May 13 = udge Jackson called at tue White | ouse to day and paid his respects He ge pects to} Tenne:sec tonight or on the expectation of jreturning here in time fcr the Octo |ber term of court :nd his house is being put in r-ja'r in anticipation of his permanent residence here ut that time. It was definitely learned to day that at the consultation of the jus- | tices Saturday, Justice Jackson voted | with Justices Brown, White, Harlan | and Shiras to sustain the constitu tionality of the income tax law, and the vote to be announced next Mon- day will stand 5 to 4 in favor of the law. It is aleo learned that Justice Jackson's attitude was understood by his colleegues on the bench be- fore he came to Washington. He has at all times been fully advised as to the merits of the case and was furnished with the record and the lawyers’ briefs so that he was fully prepared to vote when the justices met in consultation. His reason for coming to Washington was to gratify the desire of the court to have the income tax case settled decisiyely, so that the court would not be left divided on such an important ques- tion with a possibility of endless litigation. It is learned, moreover, that the re-argument did not change the views of a single justice, and the points decided unconstitutional in the original opinion are still held to be so. It is said that some members of the court are disposed to believe that the majority may have gonea little too far in exempting rents from the income tax, but the vote taken Saturday did not cause a change of heart among those who} voted to exempt real estate and | municipal bonds. The coming decision, upholding the law, will not by any means ter- minate the fight to overthrow the income tax, although it will enable the treasury officials to collect the revenue to be derived from it with less embarrassment than if the re- argument had not occurred. The income tax returns already received at the Treasury department are being classified and recorded. Although the officials are extremely reticent on the subject it is believed that the rent exemptions will amount to 50 per cent of the whole. The whole uumber of returns made under the law are approximately 100,000, and the estimate is made that these represent not more than 75 per cent of the number of per- sons legally liable under the law. These delinquents will certainly be | proceeded against as rapidly as pos jsible, and it is thought that the 50 per cent penalty imposed by the }law will not be remitted in any case. leave for A PICNIC The Season Has Now Come For Us To Open Fire On High Prices.
