Income tax declared unconstitutional by U S Supreme Court
The U S Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Fuller, voids the income tax law as direct taxes not apportioned. The decision, five to four, holds sections 27 to 47 of the 1904 act unconstitutional, invalidating the entire income tax scheme and reversing prior decrees. Internal Revenue Miller prepares refunds of collected taxes as the government acts on the ruling.
