democratic Ways and Means Com
! mittee Say Can Reduce Tariff
}
and Maintain Revenue.
»
Wil h I In* ral iUcal ion of I In* in
come tax amendment. |o Hie fed
eral constitution by lwo-1birds of
llie stales, the Democrats have
dually found a way out of the
lowering of lari(V duties and still
secure enough funds to carry on
the work of the government.
Even under the last Republican
revision of the tariff in 1909,
when the present tariff was enact
ed, it became necessary to pass
the present corporation tax law,
which nets the government about
$30,000,000 annually in order to
make Uncle Sam’s fiscal ends
meet. Eor the last four years
of its operation the corporation
lax law pul $ I 12,050,000 of ad
ditional revenue in the treasury.
It is estimated that I lie income
lo bn collected under the proposed
new income lax law, which will
probably pass, in connection with
Ho* Democratic revision of the
tariff', will bring in about $100,
000,000 a year revenue. This es
timate is based on a rate of I per
cent upon the cnliro net income
over and above $5,000 of every
person in the United Slates. This
is .only an estimate, and no de
linile information is available as
to what the collection would he.
The amount collected under the
corporation lax gives the mem
bers of I he Ways and Means com
mittee a definite knowledge as to
how much the corporations to be
aff ected by I lie income tax would
pay. As to I In* individuals and
parinorships, the estimate is less
dcliuilc. In making up the esti
mated revenue, which, it was
thought, the excise tax hill, if en
acted. would have collected, the
members of the Ways and Means
committee studied the operation
of the income tax law of England.

And thereby hangs a tale,
The “ad.” was’set in quite small type
And headed “Sheriffs Sale.”
