II is known that The President, while
firmly opposed 10 any proposition looking
to the abolition at this time OF the entire
internal revenue system, believes the time
has come when substantial relief can safely
be accorded to tax payers, and that por

duction Of internal revenue taxation. With
this view the Cabinet are in entire accord
and the President in Ills mes
sage will recommend the abolition
Of all internal revenue taxes ex.
cept those upon tobacco iii its various
forms and upon distilled spirits and fer.
mented liquors, and except also the special
tax upon manufacturers Of aud dealers in
such articles, with y reduction in the tux

Commissioner Of Internal Revenue, about
one hundred millions OF dollars per ati7um.
Any further reduction OF Internal revenue
than that proposed, it is held, would com.
