Englapd's Law a Model.

1t is figured that probably at least two
thirds OF the income tax revenue can be
collected under the principle Of collection
at the source. The purpose of this meth
cd Is to minimize the inuuisitorial features
and lessen the basis Of individual com.
plant.
This Is largely based on the workings
of the law in Great Britain, which, &C.
cordfng to information laid before the
committee, collected 500. OOO, 600 from an
income tax.
AS to all incomes by which the tax is
so measured. and paid. the individual tax
payer would not be required to make a
personal return. The government, cor
pOrati0ns. copartnerships and persons
paying annual earnings to employees or
other persons In excess Of the minimum
taxable incomes. now Professionally $4,000.
would deduct and withhold this tax and
turn 1t over to the government, a method
that would likewise apply to mortgagors
and lessees Of real or personal property.
The taxpayer, under the proposed sys-
tenn, would not in the bulk of cases come
in contact with a revenue official.

An appeal for retention of the present
tariff on hats as vital to the existence of
the industry was made to Chairman I'm

tee yesterday by a delegation represent
ing manufacturers and employees engaged
in the domestic manufacture Of hats.
James w. Marshall of Fall River.
Mass, spokesman for the manufacturers
and Martin Lawler Of New York, for the
hatters' union, declared that any reduc-
ton of the duty on hats would let in so
much foreign competition as to virtually
drive them out Of business.
Sliding Sugar Scale Discussed.
A proposition to make a sliding tariff
scale for raw sugar was discussed at
the ways and means committee meeting
this morning. so that the duty on sugar
could be reduced gradually so that there
would be free sugar in about four years.
The main points Of an income tax were
discussed at the meeting. but nothing
definitely settled. The completed tariff
bill MAY be introduced by Chairman
Underwood Monday, the first day of the
extra session. but there may be some
mechanical delay in the printing Office
which would necessitate putting of the
caucus which is called tentatively for
Tuesday.
Change in Rate Possible.
It developed today that there was a
possibility OF change in the provisional
rate Of per cent on amounts above the
exempted $1,000 year. running up to
per cent on 100000 or more a year. In

MOTHER WANTS
SONS NAME ON
THE "JAG LIST"

A woman probably fifty years of
age, with hair streaked with gray,
called at the police station yesterday
afternoon and with tears in her eyes
asked that her boys name be placed
on the list of habitual drinkers. She
said her boy had been a good son
until he began drinking. Now things
we're different, and she wanted to do
something TO reclaim him. AS a last
resort she said she thought she would
apply to the police with a view TO
having her sons supply Of liquor
stopped.
The sympathy of the policemen
went out to the woman but they told
her her son would first have TO be
brought into the police station before
an attempt could be made to have
her desire satisfied. They promised
the mother that should her son be ar
rested on a charge OF drunkenness
her request would be brought to
Judge Churchman's attention.

BANK BURGLARS STILL BUSY
During Past Year They Got S171,418, Oklahoma Being Their Favorite
 Field of Operations.

Boston, Oct. S.-That bank burglary is still tiourishing industry was in dicated in the report of the standing protective committee of the American Bankers association, which is holding it's thirty-ninth annual convention here. During the past year the banks of the country were robbed of S171,- 41S.42 According to the report, there were between Sept. 1, 1912, and Aug 31, 1913, 39 burglaries or attempted burglaries of banks which are mem- bers of the association, and 100 bur elaries of banks which are outside the association.
 Oklahoma seems to be the choice field of operations for the bank pill laging fraternity. The state holds the record of the year, with 25 bank rob berries. New York, with it's billions of deposits, pulled through with only eight burglaries Some states had to deal with only one lone operator against the integrity of their hoarded wealth. These are Connecticut, In diana, New Hampshire and Ohio.

CHICAGO POLICE NOW BRAND SPENCER STORY AS UNTRUE.
Seasoned Officials Fooled Completely by Rexroat Slayers Recital of
 Twenty or More Murders.

Chicago, Oct. S.-Branded by the police as one of the most remarkable liars they ever have dealt with. Henry Spencer, whose death list" of more than score of victims he claimed to have murdered proved to have been a phantom of his brain, is on the point of nervous collapse.
 Capt. Halpin said he would not now be surprised if the prisoner should change his attitude entirely and deny even that he murdered Mrs. Mildred Allison-Rexroat, Chicago tango teach CT, for whose staying he has been in dicted by the Du Page county grand jury.
 To make certain that they had the goods on him." witnesses who knew the Mir Spencer who freQuented Ole. sons dancing academy with the tang instructor were brought to headquar- ters and identified Spencer. The suit case found in his room was identified as that of his alleged victim
 The police still believe that Spen- cer, in addition to killing the dancing teacher, may have slain Mrs. Annabel Wight, who was beaten to death with hammer and robbed last December If investigation proves that he is the right man, Spencer will be held for trial in this county. If not, he will be turned over to the Du Page county authorities. who will prosecute him for the murder of Mrs. Allison-Rex- roat

GLASS ATTACKS HITCHCOCK

Washington, Oct. S.-Presidert Wilson has met a reverse in the sen. ate banking and currency committee. A majority of the committee ignored the presidents plea for quick action on this important measure and voted to continue the hearing until Oct. 25. when the committee will take the bill under consideration.
 In accordance with the earnest wishes of the president, an effort was made by Senator Owen, chairman of the committee, to end the hearing on Oct. IS. But this motion was voted down, to f.
 Senator Owen is supported by Sen ators Shafroth of Colorado, Hollis of New Hampshire and Pomerene of Ohio, Democrats. Two Democrats, Hitchcock of Nebraska and Reed of Missouri, joined the four Republicans in voting for an extension of the hearings.
 There is plenty of evidence today that the lines between the president

 In fact a statement ise bv Car ter Glass, chairman of tae .Cuse com mittee on banking and currency, was interpreted as the opening gun by the administration forces against insur- gency in the senate. This statement was aimed solely at Senator Hitch cock of Nebraska, and was intensely personal It was interpreted at Wash ington as an indication that the ad- ministration had practically given up hope of swinging MT Hitchcock into

- line, but hoped by taking him publicly to task to shake the opposition of oth. CT Democrats on the senate commit tee.
 The president within the next few days will summon the Democratic members of the currency committee to the White House for the purpose of ascertaining just where they stand. He fears that if the committee per sist in it's determination to continue hearings for two or three weeks long CT it will mean the postponement of final action on the measure to the De- cember session of congress.
 If the president feels that further delay will jeopardize the chances of the bill at this session he will un- doubtedly take further steps to over ride the action of the committee.
 There are five Republicans and sev- en Democrats on the senate commit tee, and Senator Hitchcock by stand ing with the Republicans could block action through making the vote tie. Chairman Glass attack upon Sen ator Hitchcock and the senate com mittee caused a big stir here It Is many years since the chairman of an important house committee has open ly taken senate committee to task when it had legislation under coneid- eration.
