It is probable that tomorrow's batch of opinions will settle the question. the high, rive lias not had the case very long, however, and a decision can go over another week without injury or prejudice to anvone concerned- T.) hand down a decision too early would be used against the jurists for there would be many who would say tnat tho members had '4wKiy-voteu4- --that. is. iit vtheey.e.r-c Commissioner Watts ruling is over ruled. There has been no well founded re- oort that the court will decide the case either way, rumors to the con trary notwithstanding'. The supreme court's decisions cannot be anticipat ed. The five jurists are not in the labit of telling what they will or will not do in advance; their actions are judged by the opinions which peak for themselves. Consequently it cannot be forecast whether Judge Long wil pay his state income tax or will be relieved ol th:s most pleasant duty.
