Suit Challenges Income Tax on Illinois Central Earnings
Charles Allen of Greenfield Massachusetts filed in the Southern District of New York a suit against President Fish and Illinois Central directors to block the 2 percent income tax on the railroad’s 1894 earnings. He contends the tax is unconstitutional as a direct tax or, if indirect, not uniform since only about 1 percent pay it while 99 percent are exempt. He notes exemptions for mutual insurance, building and loan associations, and stock companies with different asset bases. Joseph H. Choate and Clarence A. Seward serve as counsel.
