INCOME TAX BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
Many Republicans Help Meas
ure in Congress.
Measure Framed by Majority Leaders
to Make Up Loss of Revenue
Through Removal of Duty
on Sugar.

Many of the national house Re-
pubIicans voted with the majority to
pass the Democratic excise tax bill
which went through unamended by q
vote of 25O to 40.
The measure was framed by the ma
jority leaders to make up for the loss
of revenue to the government through
the removal of the duty on sugar, as
provided by a bill which already has
been passed by the house Of repre-
sentatives.
The excise bill had been under dis
cussion by the house for two days, the
debate being marked by many
speeches sharply criticising the de-
cision of the supreme court of the
United States by which a previous in
come tax measure was declared I'M
constitutional.
The present bill was prepared with
a view to meeting objections raised by
the highest court against it in the
litigation of a few years ago. It ex-
empts incomes of less than $4,000 q
year.
From the time of the first appear
ance of the measure in the house there
were indications that the proposed leg
islation would be aided by the insur-
gent Republicans, either actively with
votes or passively by neutrality The
expectations then raised were borne
out when the ballot disclosed an over
Whelming majority in favor of the bill.
An Outburst of applause from the
Democratic. side accompanied the an
nOuncement of the vote, and was re-
neWed when it was learned that seven
ty-nine Republicans had voted for the
measure. There were no Democratic
votes against the passage of the bill.
The bill would extend the existing
corporation tax law to include tax of
1 per cent on the yearly net incomes
of all firms or individuals in excess of
$4,000
The Democrats declare the tax is
one on doing business despite the
fact that it would include salaried pec-
pie, and claim it would bring in suf-
ficient revenue to offset the estimated
loss of $60,O00,O00 resulting from put
ting sugar on the free list.
