School Buildi Under auspices I was upheld and defined today by the supreme court in two decisions. In a case from Oklahoma the court held that a state unquestionably has authority to levy income taxes against non-residents on incomes derived from property within the state. In a New York case, however, the court declared that such taxes against non-residents must not be discrimina tory. The Oklahoma income tax law was sustained andl the New York law was dleclared voidl in so far as it dlenies to non-residents exemptions which are given Newv York citizens. Both opin ions5 were given by Just ice Pitney wvith .Justie McReynoIls dlissenlting in the New kj ease. In bo0th suits were inll~Oved the exemptions, similar to the federal income tax lawv, provided for married andl single persons. Distinction between the Oklahoma and( New York la ws, it appears, was that ti., Okhahoma law gives non re:,idlents and citizens the same ex emptions, wvhile the New York dlenies to non- residents exemptions 'granted its own citizens.
