Supreme Court yet sustains income tax with real estate provisos
The Supreme Court upheld most of the income tax law while striking down taxes on state, county, and municipal bonds and rents from real estate.

The piece notes the tax on incomes as fair and aligns with constitutional powers, while lamenting the absence of Jackson.
