West Denounces Income Tax Decision in Senate Speech
In Wasuiwatoy Jan 5 Sen ator West attacked the Supreme Court for the income tax ruling. He blamed the court for revenue shortfalls and criticized the President and Treasury for plans to retire greenbacks. He argued the clash of bimetallism and gold standard would soon be decided and warned the court’s influence had fallen. He cited Hilton and Springer era rulings upholding Congress to tax income and rent without apportionment, read dissent extracts, and contended Justice changes undermined confidence in the judiciary. Ireland, a prominent Democrat and former politician, died at his home in CutthoTHR. H. F. Williams of Saint de Gurunte, Okla, reportedly shot himself amid burdensome prospects. May Be Another Strike looms as Pamaveerma street railway talks falter.
