As TO INCOME TAX
SPECIAL AGENT PEPPER PREPAR-
ING A REPORT.
ENellND's GREATEST REVENUE
Tariff Bill Will Continue 70 Re-
Attention In the Senate All
This Week.

Washington.-A report which con
stitutes an important contribution to
the current discussion of the proposed
income tax Is made to the bureau OF
manufacturers of the Department OF
Commerce and Labor by Charles NJ
Pepper. the special agent who has
been investigating fiscal affairs in Eu.
rope.
Mr.. Pepper says that for the fiscal
year ending March 81, 1909, revenue
from the income tax in Great Britain
was $l65. 100000. This tax in 1905
was the greatest single source of rev.
enue, exceeding the excise imposts by
81 100000 and the customs receipts by
$4,000, 900.
It is explained in the report tina:
the tax is imposed for every 20 shil-
lings of the annual value of certain
profits which are set forth under the
various schedules comprising the
source of income. TwO-thirds of the
tax is paid indirectly. Collections in
clude the tax on land paid through
the tenants, on dividends paid from
the Offices of public companies and on
consOls paid through the Bank of Eng.
land.
The tariff bill will continue to re-
ceive the undivided attention of the
senate during the present week. Os-
tensibly the amendments to the diff
ferent schedules will be before the
senate, but there will will doubtless
be much general discussion of the
whole tariff question. The bill has
aroused degree of opposition among
republican senators which had not
been counted upon, and while the
finance committee is still confident
that it will be sustained in its posi-.
ton, there is little effort on the part
of its members to conceal the fact
that they are annoyed over the situa-
ton because of the delay, if for no
other reason. The general opinion is
that in the end the committee will
prevail. but every turn In the pathway
of discussion opens up new vistas. SO
that apparently the end is still far off,
There is talk of lengthening the
hours of daily sittings, but there is
fear that if this course is resorted to
1t will have the effect of antagonizing
to still greater degree the opponents
of the measure and of thus creating
delay rather than expediting the
measure. No announcements for the
delivery of prepared speeches have
been made. but this circumstance is
nowhere regarded as an indication
that the supply of oratory has been
exhausted.
In the house the Philippine tariff
bill will be reported Monday and there
will be an effort to consider it Thurs
day. II there should be objection on
account of the absence of a quorum
recess will be taken until Friday when
the house will proceed with the discus
sion of the bill. There is little or NO
opposition to the bill.
