THE INCOME TAX.-Commissioner
Miller has been so much occupied de-
Gliding questions arising under the in
ternal revenue schedules of the new
tariff law that required immediate deci-
sion, that he has been able to bestow
little attention upon the consideration
of regulations to carry into effect the
provision of section 81 and subsequent
sections providing for the collection of
the income tax. These sections pro-
vide "that from and after the first day
of January, 1895, and until the first day
ofJanuary, 1900, there shall be assessed,
levied collected, and paid annually
upon the gains, profits and income re-.
ceived in the preceding calendar year, !"
a tax of two per centum on all money 9
over $4,000. This covers the year 1894,
of course, and applies alike to govern
meut officials and private citizens.
Commissioner Miller says regulations
would be prepared in the fulness of
time. and that United States disbursiDg
officers would be held accountable for
the collection of the tax on salaries of
which they had the disbursement from
the time when the law went into effect,
Aup. %. 1894, but actual payment
would probably not6e required before
July i. 1895. This date, July l, he
said. would also probably be the date
of settlement for subsequent years as
to the income of the preceding calen-
dar wear.
