.FAVOR|NG AN INCOME TAX.
Sub Committee of WAYS and
Means to Report To-Day.
Belief that the Plan Will Easily
Pass tho Full Committee.

WASHINGTON, Nov 1S.-The income
tax is to be favorably recommended to
the Committee on Ways and Means by
the subcommittee having the matter in
hand. This. at least, has been definitely
decided, and the subcommittee on inter
nal revenue will make such a report at
the first meeting of the full Democratic
membership. which is expected to take
place to-day.
The sta 7e has been at last reached, as
Is frankly conceded. where the whole
policy OF the Committee depends on the
question OF the income tax. II the plan
for this tax. which has bean so strongly
urged by Messrs. Bryan, Tarsney and
Whiting in the committee and a number
Of Democratic Congressman In public.
shall prevail. the Committee will have
no further difficulty in making such rad
ical reductions of the tariff as will fully
satisfy the National Democratic plat
form.
The plan will come to the Committee
with the unanimous recommendation OF
the Democratic members OF the sub
committee having 1t in charge. 1t is
stated also that the theory Is commended
by every Democratic member of the
main Committee. except Mr. Cochran, OF
New York, and possibly Chairman Will
son.
Those favorable to the provision for an
income tax are reported to be Messrs.
McMillin, Turner Montgomery. Whiting
and Tarsney. These gentlemen could, OF
course, carry their plan without the aid
of their two Democratic brethren.
