WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The full text
of the internal revenue bill, including
the income tax. has been agreed upon
by the democratic members OF the
ways and means committee. 1t is prob
able tnat the measure will be submitted
to the house tomorrow. AS yet the de-
tails of the income have not b-en made
public. The Associated Press is able,
however, to give a summary of the
essential features of the tax as 1T will be
submitted to the house. The bill pro
vides that the income tax 60 into effect
January ], 1895. and the ii st collection
on the income will be made July l. 1895.
All classes of incomes are included in
the measure ana the uniform rate of =
per cent tax on incomes of over $1,000
is fixed, made obligatory on all parties
receiving incomes Of over $500, to
make return TO the local collector Of in
ternal reveGue.
These returns are gone over by the
revenue collector and the tax list is
made up from those whose incomes ex-
coed $4,000. No tax is levied on those
making returns above $500, and
unGer S400, but the committee deemed
it expedient to leave,s margin of $500
below the exemption point In order that
the returns NIL hit be sure If all subject
tax. In case the person having an in
come OF over $500 fails to make re-
turn it becomes the duty Of the revenue
assessor to make inquiry of the amount
of the persons income. If the exami-
natieu discloees that the income is over
$1,000 the income Is subjected TO twice
the ordinary tax and the party falling
to make return is deemed guilty ct
criminal Cffense and is made subject to
fine and imprisonment. 1t Is es>l-
mated that not more than $500 persons
will be subjected to this tax, so that the
great majority of thu persons will not
have to make return.
Provisions are made by which no IN
formation can be made public as to the
details Of incomes ie Orted by cltl-
zens. Any public or private persons
who divulge any part of the informa-
| ton concerning incomes, is made sub
jet to criminal prosecution, with
heavy fine and penalty. The stock of
corporations is also subject to tax. The
entire business of levying and collect
ing tax is placed IN charge OF deputy
commissioner of internal revecue. The
differ Mt revenue districts ore provided
with deputy collectors who will super
wise the collections.
