Modification Of the Laws Affecting Incomes
miscellaneous.

NEW YORK, August 23.-The Her
alPs Washington special says the
movement alluded TO some time ago
favoring the modification Of the laws
affecting incomes has assumed a more
formidable and general character.
The plan proposed is to increase the
tax on whisky to one dollar per gal
Ion. which, il is claimed, will release
S. OOO. 600 Of means now within reach
ofthe Revenue Bureau for the preven-
tion of fraud, which will be adopted.
From tobacco S3, ,000. 900 can be real
lied from stamps, with the modifica-
ton of the present law say SlO,OOO,-
600, from fermented liquors SlO,0OO,-
600, from license SO, ,00O, 900, and then
from the modified income tax but
SI5, 900 600 would be required to make
a total Of Sl5s,GGD, ,0lG, an amount
equal TO Secretary Bontwell's estimate
for the present fiscal year. The plan
is to confine to the tax on interest paid
on the national debt, the five per cent.
TO be deducted when the interest IS
paid. This will realize Sb2, ,65l, ,OO0,
without a dollar Of expense incurred
in the collection. The balance it Is
proposed to raise by taxing incomes
derived from surplus property, embra-
cling stock of hanks, railroads and 9th
er COrpOrations, and from interest paid
on the bonds of such corporations.
Capt. Shaw of the London fire brig
ade has left here for a tour through
