NEW BILL FOR
AN INCOME TAX
House Measure Follows AS Closely as
Possible the Corporation Tax
Law

Washington, April s.-Democratic
leaders in the House Of Representatives,
manifest a disposition to enact what
is practically an income tax law with
out waiting for the ratification by states
of the amendment to the constitution
now pending.
Basing his action upon the decision OF
the supreme court upholding the corpora
ton tax law, Representative Cordell
Hull of Tennessee, member of the ways
and means committee has introduced a
bill to levy tax OF per cent upon
every persons net income over $1,000
a year. The bill is not, strictly speak
ing, an income tax measure, but an
excise tax bill 1t conforms, as nearly
as may be. 10 the language Of the cor
poratiou tax provision Of the Payne
Aldrch tariff law, which has been held
valid and constitutional The corpora
ton tax is expected TO yield a revenue
Of about S25000n00 a year Mr., Hull
thinks his ! per cent, excise tax on
incomes will produce between Sjo,00d.-
600 and S60,0ua.000 year II this bill
is passed and meets the approval of
the courts, il is proposed to use the
precedent for the imposition Of a grad
uated income tax under the guise Of an
excise law.
Although the ways and means com
mittee has not acted on the Hull bin, ii
is understood that its introduction had
the approval Of majority of the com.
mittce informally expressed.
Mr. Hull has made q speciality of in
come tax laws. and is said to be thor
oughly familiar with the details OF ad
miuistering such revenue measures in
all 81 the principal countries Of the
world If the House Democrats sue
coed in their efforts to cut the tariff
TO the quick during the two years Of
the sixty-secoud Congress, ii is possible
they will adopt the Hull measure. or
a modification of it. as a necessary rev
enuc producing scheme.
