The national and State banks, being subjected to a tox which they belleved to be unjust, employed the well known Martin Saxe to bust the law and he proceeded to do #0. “But there is a point in this dect- sion of the Court of Appeals which {s of live interest in contrast with a decision handed down a few days ago in the United States Supreme* Court. The Court of Appeals holds that the State tax of one per cent. is oppressive in that the income from the bank shares so taxed is also taxable under the State income tax act of 1919 as part of the income of the shareholder, the same as other income. “This ruling of the Court of Ap- peals is based on a decision by the United States Supreme Court which forbids discriminatory taxes on na- tional banks, The United States Su- preme Court has ruled that national banks cannot be taxed twice—or dou- ble—where private capital such taxation. “Now mark the distinetion between court rulings on capital and court rulings on the rights and privileges of the individual. Here is a decision of the United States Supreme Court which specifies that the capital stock of national banks, under the Constitu- tion, must not be placed twice in jeopardy of taxation. “The law is extremely jealous in extending its protection to the rights of property—although property rights escapes are only generally defined by the Constitution. ot fax trotting, | 8pecificully protected by the Constitu- tion under the Bill of Rights which Fouch Hollywood nd are in| wax added to the Constitution as a re- But human rights are the milkman and Abba | sult of the efforts of Thomas Jeffer- The Constitution states that no person for the same offense shall be twiee put in jeopardy of life or limb. “Nevertheless the United States Supreme Court holds that a man can be tried twice for violation of the Vol- stead act. No man can be tried twice for murder or highway robbery if cleared at the first trial. “This shows that it is not neces- sary to go through the tedious forms of State ratification of amendments to the Constitution. All that needs to be done is to engage Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel to the Anti-Saloon League, to write a law, and that law, when adopted by Congress, auto- matically amends the Constitution. Mr. Wheeler wrote the Volstead act.” “I see,’ said tho Pilot, “that the people of Long Beach are kicking about thelr taxes,"* “They're living in a city now," ree marked the Observer, “and how quickly they have learned city ways!"' —— asked Nellie to recite her geography lesson, Nellie smiled and was very mad. “I will not recite my geography lesson,” said Nellie, “so I will recite it at once.” She did, and the teacher, a beau- titul young woman, took a chew of tobaceo and said; “Nellie, you have recited your geography lesron very nicely.
