SEWARD. ALASKA. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 50, 1915.
The terms on which Germany was said yesterday to be willing to ac
cept peace could dnly really be proposed to a badly beaten enemy. Peace
on those terms would leave Great Britain sunk in a sea of debt and disaster
of all kinds and without money left after paying the indemnity to supply
even a small part of her industrial wants. Russia would lose the best if
her territory and place before her a buffer state which she must attack and
conquer before she could attack Germany herself. By making 1 eland an
independent kingdom the Polish millions, who are now drafted into the aimies
of Russia and must be the first to meet all western foes, would become the
opponents of the Russian army, most probably, in a tight against Germany,
and so those millions would become doubled against the Slavs by division.
The proposed terms, if accepted, would kill Russia almost. Nothing it» said
as to what Germany would require in the Balkans but it would be nothing
less than the dominant voice of the Teutons in the government of those na
tions. Great Britain would be chiefly hit in having to pay an indemnity.
She would probably be the only country that could afford to do it of all the
allies, and in compelling the other nations of the Entente to pay so great a
sum Germany would be taking the last cent from the pockets of nations that
already are in debt to the eyes to the British tin.mti.illj.
The acceptance of those terms would be virtually the admission of an
overwhelming defeat already. No nation with the glimmer of a chance of
holding its own could think of accepting them, so why should Germany try to
offer them? There is probably some diplomatic reason behind all those
‘‘peace offers.” __
CHANGES PROPOSED
IN INCOME TAX
WASHINGTON. Dec. 29.—The In-j
come Tax law is in for a long hard
winter. The President, the Supreme
Court, Secretary of the Treasury Mc
Adoo and any number of committees
and factions in Congress have de
signs on the act. It may appear
strong and well in the spring; it may
be crippled and it may be dead. The
fate of the law and of the many
amendments which are being planned,
rests largely upon the Supreme
court’s decision in the five cases pend
ing. If the law comes through that
ordeal whole, it must still pass into
the hands of congress. President
Wilson wants the exemptions of the
tax lowered, anti the surtax started at
a lower figure and increased more
rapidly than at present. Secretary
McAdoo wants the rates of taxation
on both individual and corporate in
comes increased, the exemptions re
duced from $3,000 to $2,000 for single
persons and from $4,000 to $.‘>,000 for
married; ami the surtax started at
$10,000 or $15,000 instead of $20,000.
Many administration men in congress
will seek to amend the law in conform
ity with these plans. Senator Owen
wants the tax increased to fifty per
cent on incomes of $50,000 a year and
up. Republicans are expected to in
troduce bills removing the “collec
tion at the source” feature and pos
sibly lightening the surtax. The in
come tax law became effective Oct. 3,
1913, after a constitutional amend
ment for it had been ratified by three
fourths of the states. Most tax
authorities favored it because it was
to be the largest trial on this contin
ent of a system designed to make tax
dodging difficult. The administration
liked it because it brought a revenue
of $80,000,000 a year. Now the ad
ministration wants to raise more
revenue by this means and opponents
of income taxation want to amend it
to raise less. The present law pro
vides an exemption up to $3,000 of in-'
come for single persons and $4,000 for
married persons. One per cent is col
lected on incomes up to $20,000, on
amounts between that and $50,000 an
additional one per cent and further
increase up to six per cent on incomes
over $50,000. It is this increase above
one per cent, the surtax, which with
“collections at the source” is being
fought. To prevent the hiding of in
comes the law ordered that all com
panies paying dividends on stocks
anti bonds deduct the amount of the
tax and pay it to the government be
fore they paid the dividends to the
stock and bond holders. This is the
“collection at the source” feature.
There was an immediate wail when
the tax first took effect, and several
taxpayers took their cases into court.
These have sifted down to the five be
fore the Supreme court. In these
five almost every provision of the law (
is attacked, and upon the decision of
the court rests the constitutionality of
all of these provisions. A decision is !
expected at any time, but it is possi-1
ble the court will wait until Justice
I.amar now ill, returns to the bench,
before making a decision. Congress ■
is expected to go ahead with its
amendments, if the court decision is
not returned soon.
