WARRINGTON, Dee, -Theafgument which
will be made In favor nf the teimpoetiop cf
the income tax Ia that this is the only way to
make the burden Of internal taxes equal. OF
nearly 80 over the whole country. MIR Ran
giolph Tucker. of Virginia. one of the Commit
bee OF Ways and Means. has prepared state
ment on this subject, In which 1t Ia shown that
In 1876, out OF revenue from internal taxes of
States, including Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts. Rhode Island and
Connecticut, paid &4.n0n,000. but In proportion
to population should have paid &p,a5o,ooo. and
according TO wealth nearly $4,000. 600 The
Middle States-New York. New Jersey, Penn
sylvania and Deawate-paid 49,, 4,ooo.oo0 Tho
contribution according to population would
have been the same amount, but their pro-
portion according to wealth would have been
A9S brn. 900. The Northwestern States and the
Tertitntire Including Ohio. Indiana. Illinois.
Michigan, Wisconsin. lowe, Minneeota Kan
aaa, Nebraska. Montana. Dakota. Colorado.
Arizona, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming paid S4S;
100000. Their proportnnate share. accord
ing to population. would have been only &3n.
3s5,35a, and according to. wealth only s27,
100000. Tho Southern Middle States includ-
ing Maryland. Virginia, West Virginia, North
Carolina, Kentucky and Missouri paid $2d,-
ulation would have been only s1775o,ooo, and
according to wealth only sti 100000. The
Cotton States including South Carolina, Geot-
gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi Louisiana
Texas, Arkansas and tennessee, paid %255N.-
900. but their proportion according to popula-
tion would have been $ig,snn.oo0 but accord
ing TO wealth $t700onoo. The Pacific States
paid over $4,000 900, but according to popula
! tion should have have paid lesa than $1,000
900, and according to wealth less than $2,25o
600.
III ia asserted by the advocates of the income
tax that nearly all the untaSed government
bonds are owned in the Northern seahoarc
States and that the only way to make this
Kind Of property contribute its share to the
general revenue Is to lay an income tax. There
Is also determination to lay high tax ol
large incomes. the prevailing idea on this sub
ject being to exempt all incomes under $4,000
and to graduate the tax from per cent up tt
3, and some wish ii even up to 7 or per cent
on incomes exceeding $4,000 or $4,000. The
general belief is that the Northwest and the
South will join together to impose the income
tax, and the principal question seems to h'
about its amount, A plan will bc urged OF
the House to SO regulate the income tax as Il
exempt all incomes derived from salaries o
professions or the actual labor of the indvid
ual. and tax only the accumulated wealth
which itself yields an income to its possess
ors. This Is thought TO he the only fair wa,
10 levy an income tax and several Represent
atfves will urge that a tax thus laid ON accu
mulated wealth ought to be a constant part @
the internal revenue system.
