Baltimore, Deac, 9.—Arguing in the United States court today in support of the demurrer. of the Baltimore Post company to its indictment for publication of Income tax returns, W. | Calvin Chestnut of defense counsel | contended that the written publica- tlon of this information was entirely | lawful for the following reasons: | “The information published did | not constitute a part of an income tax return within the meaning of that expression as properly con- strued in the law. | “If the law should be construed to the contrary of this proposition, | then, as #o construed, it would be | contrary to the constitution, relative | to freedom of speech and of the | press.” “The question involved,” sald Mr. | Chestnut, “is merely this: { When the {nformation {8 made‘ available for public Inspection by special mandate of congress, can | congress at the same tims prohibit | the press from publishing such in- formatton?" To that question he submitted there could be only one answer and | that is that congress could not valld- | Iy pass such legisiation because of the first amendment. Tt congress, the attorney, declared, makes it a duty of a government of- | ficial to make avallable certaln in- formation constituting elther a part of the income tax return or informa- tion taken from the return, thee there *can be but one thought, that it is to the public intexest and con- venience and advantage hat such in- formation shall be made public. The practical method of making publie lawful information in modern times is through the press.” City Items Be sure and hear fenator Allce P. Merritt at Elks hall tonlght.—advt.
