GHOATE’S TURN NOW. os THE WORLD: WEDNESDAY EVENIN NOT MAKING A GOLD CORNER, z — oo He Answers Mr. Olney and Assails| Syndicate Said to Be Guarding the Inoome Tax Law. Moere’s Attorneys Not Allowed to Deliver an Cral Argument. When Mr. Choate Finished Court Adjourned Until Monday. WASHINGTON, D. C., May &—The final argument in the Income Tax cases to be delivered by Mr. Joseph H. Choate was the attraction of the Supreme Court of the United States to-day, and the eminent New York lawyer drew many More people to the Capitol to listen to his eloquence than the limited capacity ef the court-room could accommodate. There wav a long line of waiting ap- plicants for admission stretching from the outer door of the court to the ro- tunda, when the Justices filed into the bench on the stroke of 12. In the section of seats over at the left of the bench, the ladies of the Supreme Court circle, made a brigat patch of olor against the white walls, and the semi-circular space allotted to members of the bar was crowded with prominent attorneys and half a dozen members of the last Congress. Before the argument had begun, At- torneyeG@fer®) Winey: meved the-admis- sion to the Supreme Court Bar of Mr. J. Wailer Blandford, the private secre- tary to the Attorney-General, and the Clerk administered the oath to Mr. Biandford. Attorney Shellabarger, of the firm of Bhellabarger & Wilson, which repre- sented the apellant in the Moore case, auked for kve to deliver a brief oral in that case after Mr. plea, auserting that Mr. ad not made any of hia case before a full bench, and thought they were en- titled to that privilege. It apparently came as somewhat of a surprise to the Court, and 4 brief con- Htation was held by, the Chief-Justice “4 agsoclaten, after which he told {It would be quite Court to grant the uest, rte added that the present hearing was being conducted upon A special order, and said:ft could not be interferred with by giving attention to any other mat- ter. He stated that leave had already been given to file briefs in the Moore ease, Dut tha@ no oral argument could be - . Mr. Choate then began the second in- stalment of his argument with a brief ply to some of the suxgestions of the Attorney-General. He first took up for examination the argument of the Atorney-General that if the decision in regard to rentals was to stand there could be no limit of the time the exemption should run. The Attorney-General had pleaded that with Such a ruling in force it might be im- Possible to ever tax the proceed rived from rents, however they might be invented. Mr. Choate said in reply that it was sufficient that the law left no such qu ton open. ‘The provision was for taxing rents at the moment of their receipt, nd he for one should not be so fool: ardy as to claim that when the rent Money should be reinvested it would Rot be subject to the original ruling of the Court in this case. fe combated the suggestion of the Attorney-General that the provision of the law is for the taxation of rents de- rived in a former year, saying that the Constitution provides that no direct tax shall be levied except by apportionment “You can’ he said, “by shoving {It back a year reach it any better than at the moment.” Mr. Choate declared that he did not see the giMiculties which appeared to fall Wichin the line of the Attorne: vision in levying a tax by apportion- ment, but even if these dimeulties did exist, a# claimed, it still remained that the constitutional compromise had point- ¢d ou: this as the only method of levy- tng direct taxes Taking up the plea of the Attorney- General that the decision ulready. ren- dered as to the invalidity. of income taxes on rents and bonds would cripple the resources of the Government. in umes of great emergency, Mr. Choate contended that the facts obtainable did not support this ntention, and he pro- ceeded to show that of the vast. sum expended in the civil war ay small Proportion hud been derived from: the Income tax, which was in operation at the time, Taking up the thread of his affirma- tive argument, Mr. Choate declared that the question of taxation had been one of | the most prominent in the minds of the! framers of the Constitution. E ery one | knew that the stamp tax had provoked the Revolution, and that it had been the cause of maintaining it. Consequently Against a Foreign Demand, Little Danger of a Depletion of the Government's Reserve. Opinion in Wall street circles ts some- what divided on the report that the Morgan-Belmont bond syndicate Is quiet- ly creating a corner in gold, for the ultl- mate purpose of forcing another issue of bonds by the Government. Every one knows, and has known for some time, that the syndicate has been piting up gold, and ts now gathering in the precious metal wherever it can ob- tain It, Hut inte not generally belived that thin gold in being acquired to use In purchasing new, bonds. ik prominent Treasury official waid thin morning, when asked for his opinion: “While I know the ayniicate Is getting hold of vots of ok, Ido not belleve in tie new bond end of the story. Under its agreement the syndicate bound it- self to keep the Government, gold, re- serve intac: untll the completion of its contract, which will be about Septembe “Tt still owes the ‘Treasury some thir- teen millions in old—an amount suf- cient to bring the reserve above the mit, or to about $104,000. ‘Therefore, the Government haw not got to worry any on the score of Its gold reserve being depleted for months to come. “Then, again, the expenses of the Gov- ernment petwein now and September will not exceed the receipts, so that there vill not be any increase in the present foficit. On the contrary, there is a pos- sibility of the receipts being enough in excess of expenditures to cause a de crease in the deficit. Bo It will be sen that the Government will have no oause to borrow money before September. “When that month urrives there! will be such @ demand for money In the tn- terior States, to move the crops, that the rate of Interest will be #0 high as to preclude any exporting of gold. I think the syndicate ix simply ac- quiring this gold ag a safeguard Against a possible demand for gold from abroad. If there should come auch a de- mand, and the syndicate could not sell bill of exchange In sufficient quantity to satiafy it, they would, under thelr con- tract with the Government, have to sup- ply the gold directly or indirectly, and they want to be prepared for any’ such event. This Is my view of the whole situation.” Several bankers, members of the sy te, who were seen on the subjec made almost exactly the same explana: tion, and none of them thought that any’ more Government bonds will be isaued this year, At the offices of J, P. Morgan & Co. no one would talk about the matter in the absence of Mr. Morgan, who ts in Hurope, except to say that fio corner in wold Is being created, ONE FIREMAN DISMISSED.
