SENATOR HILLs REVENUE ELL.
Hts Plan to Get Federal Income By . CoIIat.
eral Inheritance Tax.

His Plan to Get Federal Income by . CoIist.
eral Inheritance Tax.
WASHINGTON. Dec. l0-Little or nothing IA
known here about Senator Hills proposed bill
to levy n duty on collateral Inheritances. A
brief outline OF the bill was published several
days ago. but did not attract m ch attention in
view OF tho fact that a revenue bill cannot
originate In the Senate. and that Senator Hills
measure must. therefore. remain In abeyance
for some time The idea OF the bill is SO en-
tirsly outside Of the general range OF tariff
propositions now under discussion that IL is
certain to gain the attention OF Congressman
and to get serious consideration at the proper
time. Senator Hill has not consulted any OF
his Dem ocratic friends in the Senate or House
OF Representatives about tho bill. and is not
prepared to say how he proposes to present it
to Congress. 1t Is possible that he may turn IL
over to Chairman Wilson Of tho Ways and
Means Committee and request him to incor-
porate IL in the internal revenue section OF tho
new Tariff bill. The Senator may finally con.
Tariff bill reaches, the senate. and then intro.
duce his collateral inheritance proposition as
an ameudment to the general bill
Sen "a or hiIs proposed measure is the re-
Dos Passos. They are associated together ia
the prosecution o. certain claims In New York
H1asI tne law which LEWIS ,a on
lect the income tax suggestion was raised by
the discovery that there is to Q q deficit in
the revenues Of tho Government OF many
millions OF dollare. As the income tax ar
pears to he obnoxious for many reasons.
Senator Hill and Mr.. Dos passos de-
cided that less Objectionable method
Of internal taxation might be devised.
with the New York law on tho subject, md the
law OF 1859 as q basis OF operation. a bill was
framed by MIR. Dos Passos. and Rfterward sub
mitted to Senator HI. for such suggestions
az he might care to offer. The proposed hill IL
expected by its sponsors to overcome somc Of
the objections raised against an income tax
recommended in tho Presidents message. 1t
does away with the yearly inquisitorial fea-
lures which is especially repugnant to men In
private business. and provides for a singlein-
quiry into an estate after death. similar to
that which IL now authorized by law
Tho tax on collateral inheritanres which is
now imposed in New York state brings in a
large revenue. The tax OF 1863 which was lev
led by the Government was constitutional. hut
1t was not In force long enough TO show Its
working fully. 1t was repealed before 1t was
thoroughly tested.
Senator Hill Is not troubled as to the unccn-
stitutionaltv OF the proposed law. but it may
not be satisfactory to Q majorty in Con gress.
