MAY TAX INCOMES
Fears Of a Deficit From the MI
son Tariff
FORCE THE SCHEME FORWARD
tue Committee Nay Decide Co Increase
the Iax oa whisky 40 Ons-t
the Free List

wAsHIscroS. Dee "A tan on ind
sidusi incomes may yet result from the
discussion OF the proposition for 40 in.
eome tax For the last week. IL has
been expected that the tax would be
placed only oa corporations and lega.
eiea The probability thst.the deticien-
ey next year may be larger than antici-
pated. causes some os the members OF
the committee to believe that. after all.
the tax ought 10 bc made general. fixing
exemptions at 1900 year The con-
mittee only informally discussed the
matter today but there is apparently
stronger sentiment tonight In favor OF a
general tar than any time since the sub
iect was broached. IL u is decided 10
impose the tax on corporations and lesa
cies. the revenue from this sour.e will
not. n 10 thought exceed s2DUoo0m un-
lees the rate be changed from one to
two per cent
May Increase the whisky Tax.
An increased tax on whisky. which
the members of tho committee seem pot
disposed to favor. may not therefore be
necessary. An additional tax OF 10
cents gallon would increase the yearly
revenue sl0.0OO.0O0 year, while an in.
crease to 30 cents a gallon would net the
government s30.0oD0O0 q year. From
present appearances, the internal rev.
enue schedules will not be com pleted
for several days. although IL is the hope
of Chairman Wilson Ia finish them by
Monday evening next The greater
part OF today's session, at which all tho
democrats except Mr.. Cochran were
present. was devoted TO q careful exami.
nation of the tariff schedules. The bill
contains number OF typographical
errors and minor mistakes, which il IL
moro widely circulated.
