Lawrence Wardell, 273 F. 405, 408 (9th Cir, 1921)
The power of Congress, in the imposition of taxes and providing for
the collection thereof in the possessions of the United States, is not
restricted by constitutional provision (section 8, article 1), which
may limit its general power of taxation as to uniformity and apportionment
when legislating for the mainland or United States proper, for it acts
in the premises under the authority of clause 2, section 3, article
4, of the Constitution, which clothes Congress with power to make all
needful rules and regulations respecting the territory or other property
belonging to the United States, Binns v. United States, 194 U.S.
486, 24 S.Ct. 816, 48 L.Ed. 1087; Downes v. Bidwell, 182 U.S. 244, 21
S.Ct. 770 45 L.Ed. 1088."
