TAX BILL
TO BE INTRODUCED

Washington, March 26-Representa-
tive Stevens. of Minnesota, who is re-
garded as one of the mouthpieces OF
President Taft in the House, has been
handed a draft OF an income tax bill
which has been prepared by Attorney
General Wickersham and which he will
introduce in the House at once. 1t is
not expected the bill will pass this ses-
sion, but it is desired to have it there
for discussion for educational purposes
and as a basis for legislation later. .
The Wickersham bill provides that
the old Wilson income tax law shall be
recognized and written into a series of
sections applying taxes to different
kinds Of incomes, so that if the supreme
court holds one tax unconstitutional
that section may be cut out of the bill
without destroying the rest Of the
measure Tho Wilson measure was
held to be unconstitutional in SO far as
1t imposed an income tax on incomes
derived from government salaries real
estate otherwise taxed and municipal
bonds 1t is maintained by many peo-
pie that the old law could not be en-
forced except as against this class of
incomes. and Mr.. understands meas
ure indicates that he has this view. He
has, however, guarded against the pos
sibility OF the entire measure being de-
cIared unconstitutional by rearranging
it so that each section will stand on its
own merit and be subject to nullid-
cation without affecting the rest of the
