Ev ery year communications appear in the press denouncing rich citizens for de- frauding the city by paying only upon a mere fraction of their personal pro erty. Few understand that the law only requires individuals to pay upon what they are assesst. “Speakers in New York every now and then hold me up for reprobation before audiences, because I only pay upon five milliohs personal property, seemingly ignorant of the fact that this ds @l the law requires. It is the a: sessment made by the commission. “I have had to explain the matter in Burope by giving my personal exp , and several times I have int _mated to my legal advisor here that I ‘might have seriously to consider fixing my residence elsewhere (as many do, though still residing here), not to es- cape taxes, but to dispel the general impression that T was not obeying but evading the personal tax law by pay- ing upon only a small part of my for- tune. “But it is important that the masses | understand what millionaires do.

U. S. SUPREME COURT HAS MANY IMPORTANT CASES The American Tobacco Co..Case of Capt. Oberlin Carter, and Others. ‘Washington, Feb, 13.—When the su- preme court of the United States con- venes Monday, February 21, a long list of decisions is anticipated by some of the legal profession which has been following the proceeding’ in the court. The lawyers believe that the court during iis_three weeks' vacation, ha: endeavored to dispose of many cases in order that it may be as free as pos- sible to consider this spring the great ~uestions of the application of the Sherman anti-trust law to corporations and the valldity of the corporation tax provisions of the Payne tariff law. Overshadowing -ail others, the suit of the government against the Amer- ican Tobacco company and others. is the most importz=2 —~=- under a@vise- ment by the court. It was argued sev- eral weeks ago, on account of the Standard Ol case, to be argued March 14 and involving ‘similar questions. it is believed that the decision in the To- bacco case will not be rnnounced until after the Standard Oil suit has been heard. One of the most important law. whose validity has been guecstioned in arsuments before the gourt, is the ‘hours of service law for rallroad em- ployes,” passed by congress in 1907. The railroads have attacked-the law as being applicable to employes en- gaged in commerce within the state as well as in interstate commerce. It is claimed the law is open to the same objection which wiped the employers’ liability law_of 1906 off the statutes. A decision in this case may be an- nounced on February 21. Another suit which has attracted much attention is that in which the government is seeking to get posses- sion of property amounting to nearly $400,000, in the hands of Oberlin L. Carter, a former captain in the engi- neer corps of the army, who was sen- tenced to prison for his alleged connec- tion with schemes to defraud the gov- ernment out of $2,000,000, intended for the Improvement of the harbor at Savannah, Ga. The court has the case under advisement. A trio of cases under advisement in- volves the authority of the federal of- ficials to bring Theodore H.. Price, Frederick A. Peckham and Moses Haas, from their homes in New York to the District of Columbia. for trial on charges growing out of the “cot- ton leak scandal” in the department of agriculture in 1905.
