AN INCOME TAX SCHEMF
MAJORITY OF TME WAYS AND
MEANS AGREE UPON A DILL.
It Provides for Tax Of Two Per
Cent Upon lncOmes Of $4,000 and
Over-The Bill to Take Effect Jan.
IL 1893.

Washington, Jan. 1O-The full text Of
the internal revenue bill. including the
important income tax, has been agreed
urcn by the members Of the ways and
means c0mmittee-the Democratic mem
bers. 1t Is probable the measure will b..
submitted to the house tomorrow. The
bill provides that the income tax Is to 10
into effect Jan. !, 1885, and that this
first collection Oh incomes is to be- made
On July I, 1925. All classes Of incomes
are included in the measure aud the uni.
form rate of per cent tax on incomes
over $4,000, is fixed. The most inportali,
text of the bill Is the method provided
for the levy aud collection of taxes. IL
is made obligatory OH all persons IL
ceiving individual incomes of over ST..
500, to make a. return to the local col.
lartor of internal revenue. These re.
turns are gone over by the revenue .co'
lector and a tax list is made UP OF
those whose incomes exceed $4,000. Ne
tax Is levied on those making u return Of
above $:l,5OO and under $4,000, but tho
committee deemed it cxpelient to leave
this margin of $500 below the exemption
point in order that the returns might be
sure To show all who are subject to the
tax. In case person having an i'll
come of over $3.5tU fails to make re.
turn. it becomes the duty of the revenue
assessor To make inquiry as to the
amount Of the persons income. If this
exr mination discloses that the income is
ahnve $4OUD. the income is subject to
twice the ordinary tax under the law,
snd the party failing to make his return
is deemed guilty of criminal off.nsc aud
Is made subject to IL fine and imprison-
ntnt. The main purpose in framing
the above provisions has been To avoid
an inuuisitorial operation of the law.
The committee believe that 1t will do
away with the necessity Of having assess
ors prying into the private business of
people unless the latter have u taxabl.
income and try to evade the law. 1t is
estimated that not more than S5tAHI
per>, rs will be- subject TO this tax. s.,
that a great majority OF citizens will not
have To make returns. The entire b,s-
ness of leyying and collecting of the tax
is placed in charge uf deputy commits
sioncr of internal revenue. The different
revenue districts of the country are also
provided with deputy collectors who will
especially manage the collection Ut tho

Beautiful Mirage.

Quincy. Ill ian. lS.-The heavy fog
Of the last few days has impaired the
telegraph and telephone service with its
unceasing moisture, but this morning it
repaid for it all by treating the citizens
to the most wonderful mirage ever seen.
The fog formed in dense bank hanging
over the Mississippi and on the under
side of it could be plainly seen all the
streets, buildings and stately chimneys
of the factory district. They were re-
produced with q vivid fidelity, and the
effect was exactly that of second
Quincy lying complete on the opposite
bank of the river. This remarkable aud
beautiful illusion was witnessed by hun
dre,ts and lasted for about an hour, then
gust of wind Hoated the fog to a high
er altitude and the vision was gone for.
