WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 2.-The adj
vocates of the Individual income tax
proposition were triumphant at the
meeting of the Democratic members of
the ways and means committee this af-
ternoon. The issue was Joined on two
propositions, one to levy a tax of two
per cent against individual incomes of
over $1,000 and against the incomes
from interpretations (this is the differ
ence between the gross income and the
operating expenses, or in other words,
the net income) and.aecond, a proposi-
ton offered as a.substitute by Mr.. Cock
ran, OF New York, to tax the incomes
from corporations one per cent and in
heritances five per cent, to place a tax
of ten cents on whisky, and to restore
sugar to the dutiable listat half cent
per pound. The vote on Mr.. Cockran's
substitute proposition. which was taken
first, resulted in its defeat,7 to 4:
The original proposition was then
submitted and carriedb n vote of 6 to5.
It was also decided in connection
with the latter proposition to increase
the whisky tax ten cents per gallon; !;
thaC IS, from W cents TO 52l, TO Dc lepleu
against whisky in as we'll as out of bond.
Tho bonded period is extended from
three to eight years. The tax on play
ing cards was reduced to two cents, and
the tax that was contemplated on per-
fumes and cosmetics was discarded. No
increase was made in the tax on cigars,
but the increase on cigarettes, one dol
lar per thousand, was allowed to stand:
The committee estimate that the tax
on incomes from corporations and in
diyiduals Corporations being treated as
Individually will raise $3O, 100000 rev.
enue-$12 900, 600 from corporations and
$1S.000,000 from individuals.
The increase in the whisky tax, it is
estimated, will give an additional rev.
enue of $I0,O00000 per annum. The
proposed tax on nEirheritances, which
was to be levied in case the proposition
for an Individual income tax failed, was
not deemed necessary.
