INCOME TAX ESTIMATES.

Washington. Jan. 27-Members of con
gress who believe in the income tax as
an equitable method of raising revenues
are gratilied at the Unexpectedly good
showing of the preliminary canvass made
be the collectors of the internal revenue
at the direction of Secretary Carlisle,
They believe that the greater the amount
realized from this act the more popular
it will become, and the more firmly recon-
mended as a part of the policy OF the
government.
saws that if a large per cent of the reve-
nme of the government is derived from this
plan, any attempts to repeal it before the
expiration of the five-year limit fixed in
the Wilson bill would be exceedingly I'M
nopular, and that the greater the reve-
nue derived from it the greater will be
tbe probability of it's re-enactment at the
end of this term. When the proposition
n toy incomes was before congress the
nroft of the scheme was at first estimated
at from S15, 100000 to $18,O00,0OO. Later
the estimates of te committee were rails
ed TO the vicinity of $50, OOO,OOO.
Mr. Hall of Missouri, VINO mas gwen
more study, perhaps, TO the theory ana
history of the income tax than any other
In the house, did not place the total pc
low S50,0O0000. From the results or tne
canvass of the internal revenue Dill II
appears that Mr. Hall was more nearly
correct than any other fOrecaster. he
now SAYS that the income tax may yield
more than S5O,OOO,0OO and it is known
that the treasury department ofhcials
do not place its results below that marx.
The showing made by SO of the 63 dis
trcts gives grounds for the estimate
that about 100000 persons and corpora
tons will contribute to the treasury by
his nlnn
