Supreme Court Holds It Invalid Because of Tax Provision. - The federal child labor law which was held invalid by the United States Supreme Court yesterday was enacted after the Supreme Court had declared invalid an act of Congress whicn ex- cluded from interstate commerce prod- uets in whose manufacture child labor had been used. The law affected by yesterday’s decision was virtually the same except that it imposed an excise |tax of 10 per cent upon the annual net iprofits of establishments employing {child labor. Opponents of the law con- |tended'the new jaw was an unconsticu- tional invasion of the police powers of the states. i The decision of the court was ren- {dered in a case brought by the gover: iment against the Drexel Furniture {Company of North Carolina, and was ione of three cases brought in that state [ testing the validity of the law, and in {all of which the United States district jcourt decided against the government. | Opinion of the Court. The opinion was read by Chief Jus- {tice Taft. “Does this law impose a tax with orly that incidental restraint and regu- lation which a tax must inevitably in- volve,” the Chief Justice asked, “or does it regulate by the use of the so- called tax as a penaity? If a tax it is clearly an excise. If it were an excise ion a commodity or other thing of value iwe might not be permitted, under previ- jous decision, to infer solely from its {heavy burden that the act intends a { prohibition instead of a tax. But this fact is more.” After analyzing the principal fea- jtures of the law and its operation, {the Chief Justice said: “In the light of these features of the act, a court must be blind not to see that the so-called tax is imposed to stop the {employment of children within: the jage limits prescribed.” § Its prohibitory and regulatory ef- fect and purpose are palpable,” he added. “All others can see and un- derstand this. How can we properly shut our minds to it?” States Duty of the Court. Declaring it the duty of the court to decline to recognize or enforce laws of Congress dealing with sub- {jects not intrusted to Congress, but {left by the supreme law pf the land to the conmtrol of the States, the Chief Justice. said ,the court must performi that duty, “even though it require us to refuse to give effect to legislation designed to promote the highest good. “The good sought in unconstitu- tional legislation,” he added, “is an ipsidious feature, because it leads citizens and legislators of good pur- pose to promate {t without thought of the serious breach It will ‘make in the ark of our covenant or the harm which will come from breaking down recognized standards. In the maintenance of local self-govern- ment on the one hand and the na- tional power on the other, our coun- try has been able to endure and prosper for nearly a century and a hait.” Y Respects Co-Ordinate Branch. Out of proper respect to a co-or- dinate branch of the government, the Supreme Court has gone far to sus- tain a taxing act as such. Chief Jus- tice Taft continued, adding this had been done, even though there has been ground for suspecting from the weight of the tax, it was intended to destroy itself. “But in the act before us.”-he said, jothe presumption of validity cannot prevail because the proof of the con- trary is found on the very face of its provisions. “Grant the validity of this law and all that Congress would peed to do hereafter, in seeking to. fake | over to its.control any one of the great number of subjects of public interest, jurisdiction of which the states have never parted with and which are re- served to them by the tenth amend- {ment, would be to enact a detailed measure of complete regulation of the subject and enforce it by a provision called tax upon departures from it. To give such magic to the word ‘tax’ would break down all constitutional limitations of the powers of Congres and completely wipe out the sovel eignty of the states.
