Direct Tax Act Opinion and Dorsey Trial Updates
The first comptroller of the treasury concludes that section 12 of the Direct Tax Act of June 7 1862 does not itself appropriate funds to states or governors and that even if construed as an appropriation conditions are not satisfied. Other notes cover the Kearney Kent route advertisement dispute in the star route trial, Dorsey sub contract testimony, and a reserved ruling on service increase. In the Dickson bribery case Judge Snell excludes Driver's Bowen interview until cross examination and recalls both witnesses while noting Bowan is expected tomorrow.
