Ambassador White forwards the fol-
lowing statistics concerning the Prus-
sian income tax and its assessment in
1901, collected from Official returns by
Mr. Dodge, second secretary Of the en-
bassy:
The law under which the Prussian in
come tax is levied went into effect June
q. 1891 Roughly speaking. all incomes
Of more than 900 marks (S2I42O) a year
are taxed. Incomes from 500 marks up to
$500 marks (S2142O up to S2.4g9) are
divided into twenty-sixe classes, the tax
rising from six marlst (S1.43) annually
for the lowest class to goo marks CS7l.40)
for the last. Incomes Of more than 10. 800
marks 49, eO are taxed upon a special
and more rapidly progressive scale Under
the application of the law. the number
of persons liable to taxation has con-
tinually risen, and. except during the
second and third years. the amounts yield
cd by IL to the state have also steadily
increased. By law passed July ?. 1900.
this law was extended 70 the so-caIled
"HohenzoHern lands" in South Germany,
so that IL now affects the whole Kingdom
OF Prussia, with the exception Of the
Islend Of Heigoland. According to the
census Of 1890. the population OF Prussia
was then in round numbers % 900. 900; ac-
cording to the census of 1900. it had risen
to "a. .400e00--an increase Of over IS per
cent. During the decade 1S92-lS01. the
income-tax statistics show the following

THREE DISTRICT BILLS
NOW IN THE SENATE
Measures of Importance to
Receive Consideration.
OBJECTIONS THAT ARE MADE
Farmers Oppose Provi,iou in Milk
Measure Requiring the Product to
He Brought to n Temepruture of
Sixty Degrees or Less.

Three measures Of Importance to the
District will be taken up by a subcom-
mittee Of the Senate District Committee
at a meeting this afternoon. They are:
The sanitary milk bill.
The sanitary building bill
The bill providing for a change in the
control of charities.
The committee is composed Of Sena-
tors McLaurin, GaIlinger, Stewart, and
Martin.
MiIIS HiII Provisions.
The milk bill has attracted much atten-
tion. favorable and otherwise. It pro-
vides for the careful inspection by the
health officers OF cows. stables. milk de-
pets, and utensils before permits shall
be issued to sell milk and cream.
Other provisions are.
Milk and cream must be kept at a tenn
perature below 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
No milk from COWS suffering from any
disease shall be offered for sale or
brought into the District
No person suffering from any communi-
cable disease shall be employed in a
dairy.
No milk from which any portion of the
cream has been skinned shall be sold
except as such.
object to Temperature Requirement
One Of the objections made to the bill
is that there is no necessity Of keeping
milk at a temperature below 90 degrees.
and that the ordinary farmers alC dairy
men cannot afford to reduce the tempera-
ture to that degree. It is argued that
such a regulation would favor the large
milk corporations 10 the disadvantage Of
the average milk producers.
The sanitary building bill creates a
commission which shall examine into the
sanitary condition OF all buildings in the
District and have the right TO condemn
any that are found to be unfit Tor Occu-
patton. The commission is 70 be com
posed Of the Engineer Commissioner. the
Health Officer, and the Inspector Of Build
iugs.
Change in Charities.
The bill providing for a change in the
control Of charities is The one that has
caused the most discussion throughout
the District. Il proposes that this and
other similar institutions shall be taken
out Of the hands of the charity board and
placed nier the custody Of the Interior
Department
The bill has not received The support
Of the District authorities. and 10 IS IN
ierstOod that the Senate District Com
mittce is uOt favCrably impressed with it.
