Key legal question
Whether the administrative appeal was admissible only with respect to direct federal tax, not cantonal taxes.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible only insofar as it concerned direct federal tax; the cantonal-tax complaints were not entered into.
Extracted reasoning
Under the Direct Federal Tax Act, the Federal Supreme Court could review only final cantonal decisions on direct federal tax. The cantonal-tax challenge could not be treated as a constitutional complaint because the cantonal decision was not final in that respect.
