THE INCOMES.

An elaborate discussion Of the proposed in.
come tax by Mr. Ford. Chief OF the Bureau Of
Statistics entirely confirms certain advice given
months ago 10 Congress by The Tribune. both
~ to the extreme uncertainty of that source OF
revenue and as 10 its probable innde1uacy. Mr..
Ford examines the experience Of this country
thirty wears ago the effect Of the income tax In
Ney-York and the statistics Of similar taxation
in Great Britain and In Germany. and In the
light Of all this body Of Information Is unable
10 determine the probable yield from the pro-
posed > per cent tax more closely than In his
statement that II will range from SD, 100000
'nt the lowest point TO S39,000.O00 ut the high
est. But some OF the evidence which he sub
mits seems 10 warrant belief that the yield may
be even smaller than his minimum estimate.
That II Is not likely 10 reach the S3O,00O,0OO
expected by Senate and House committees seems
clear.
The returns from Germany show incomes dl-
vidrl into twenty-four classes. Of which the six
lower and about twothirds Of the seventh would
be exempt under the $4,000 provision. Tho
number of taxpayers In Germany Is 2435.SjS, Of
whom about 2Il3iU3 would be exempt under
the $1,000 provision. and only about 22, 40
would ne taxed. Besides all those who are
cmpt In Germany. II seems that about 02 per
cent Of those who pay taxes In Germany would
be exempted under such provision the one
here proposed. II Is a more difficult matter TO
determine the proportion Of income exempt I'M
der the $4,000 provision. But calculation
based on the German returns indicates that not
more than 1870 per cent Of the incomes taxed
In Germany would be subject TO taxation In
this country. under the provision which has
passed both houses.
II does not appear reasonable to suppose that
