AN. INCOME TAX coNuNDRuM.
A Knotty Question Under Discussion by
the Treasury Department officials.

A Knotty Question Under Discussion by
the Treasury Department officials.
A very knotty question has arisen in
the preparation of the income tax regu-
lations now under consideration by Sec
rotary Carlisle and Commissioner Mil
Ter. 1t is at what point in the salary of
United States official the income tax
should be collected Government dis
bursting officers are held responsible for
the collection Of the income tax on sal
aries paid out by them. Does the law
contemplate taxing the salary per Sc or
the person who receives it?
Only salaries above $4,000 are taxa
ble A case has been put where if the
salary is, say, SIS, 600 per year, and the
drawer of it dies after sixs months, the
government receives no income from it
unless the disbursing officer takes out
the tax pro rata monthly. AT this point
the difficulty is encountered that the
drawer of the salary has not received
over 81, 900, and therefore no income
tax has accrued If the drawer of an
SIS, 900 salary dies or resigns after re-
ceiving slightly less than half of the
yearly salary, should the new appointee
pay an income tag out of his little more
than half of the S. 600 or only on what
he himself draws?
1t does not seem to strike the treasury
officials as fair that one man should pay
an income tax on part of the salary
drawn by another, and yet if such an
amount were drawn $3, 90Q hy,one and
81, 100 by another man by holding the
latter responsible for the income tax on
the salary he draws on the excess over
the 81, 900 the government would re-
ceive only 2 per cent on $500. Was this
idea contemplated by the law??. The same
principle applies to all cases of salaries
received by United States officials, MEM
bers of the cabinet, senators and mem
bers of congress and others who receive
salary in excess of 81, Washing

LANGUAGE FOR MEDICINE.
An italian Suggests That Latin Be Use
In All Countries.

'D~-cbrDNSI -
In All Countries. -a --
Decidedly the question of univer-
sal language of medicine is in the air.
During the last few months we have
had occasion to refer to several pro-
posals of the kind Now comes another,
this time from Italy.
Dr. E. Vital of Bari has addressed a
long letter to the italian minister of
public instruction, DR.. Baccelli, invit-
ing him as president Of the interna-
tional medical congress to propose to
the organizing committee that Latin be
recognized as one of the official Ian
guages at the next (Moscow) congress
and as the sole official language at all
future congresses, beginning with the
fourth from the one held this year in
Rome. 4H
DR.. Vitali's argument is, briefly, that
while all medical men have some smat-
tering Of Latin comparatively few know
any modern language but their own.
Very few understand all the languages
used at congresses, which hence servo
to give an idea of the tower of Babel
as far as confusion of tongues is con-
cerned. However bad may be the Latin
spoken, it viii always, DR.. Vital main
tains, be more Ineligible than any one
modern language to the largest number,
and that, after all, is the main point.
For any one really in earnest in the
matter there need be no difficulty in
acquiring sufficient fluency in Latin for
the purpose in view.
DR.. Bacoelli has sent diplomatic re-
ply to DR.. Vitali's communication, in
which he promises to give the subject
proper consideration, etc. There, so far
as we know, the matter rests, and there
we imagine, it is likely to rest. There
would unquestionably be many advan
tages in the revival of Latin as the lin
qua franco Of. science, nor does the
scheme. involve any insuperable Difficult
ties. sos atl'S Z 81 - 49,

pie Bar it is stated that the celebrated
DR.. Bozzi Granville, when he wished
to enter the English navy, bad some
difficulty about his examination at Has
lar, as none Of the medical staff spoke
any European language but his own.
AT the suggestion of the surgeon of tho
Raven, whose communications with his
assistant had been carried on in Latin,
that language was employed. The Ital-
ian doctor passed triumphantly. Britt

sion or continuance of public mischief

Other anne ndments provide that en-
ployses dissatisfied with the award Of

his views on the financial situation-the
frat ne has expressed in the senate for
some time-there was buzz OF expects-
tion and interest. Sherman stepped for

ticularly to the. Democratic side,
emphasizing his remarks With frequent
gestnres. A., = - "A,
"Wo have reached the point. raid he.
"where We are being told no relief can
bs given to the country until we have
the free coinage OF silver"
He believed such an absolute conces-
sion would be greater disaster to the
country than any other course that
could be adopted. And yet the senate
was being brought face to face with the
alternative OF taking free oliver or moth.
ing. II there was to be choice be-
tween the two coin standards then the
senator believed in taking the one
which was recognized the world over
as the best. He did not believe such a
choice waa imperative. He still be-
lievsd both metals could be used.
"But am bound to say" said Sher-
man, "that the finance com mittee is
utterly helpless. We are equally di-
vided. We can reach no agreement.
We are not able to report unless the

conmittes and sndsavor to agree upon
. measure Of relief.
Stewart declared no real emergency
existed and that oil the trouble that had
arisen was due to the Administration
discriminating In favor of gold against
silver.
DEAL FAIRLY.
Hill said tho 6rst duty OF the senate
was TO ascertain what was wanted by
the administration. With that purpose
in view, and in order that congress
could stand fairly before the country.
and the administration could deal fairly
with congress and congress- with
It., he introduced resolution
directing the secretary Of the
treasury to inform the senate whether it

should be had authorizing the issue OF

paying current deficiencies in the reve-
nuss, and if so the nature and substan-
tial details OF such legislation.
Mr.. Hill desired the resolution to be
considered Immediately, but Mr.. Allen
Pop, Neb.) objected and the resolution
went over until tomorrow.
This ended the discussion for the
time and the senate begvn the consider
ton of routine business and at 2 O'Clock
went into executive session, lasting un.
til 4 O'Clock, when the senate adjourned.
