The impending income tax bill is
one of the most progressive mea-
sures ever submitted to Congress
with hope of passage. From the
first to the last paragraph it is
pregnant with progressivism. Clev-

by its framer Representative Cor

Washington, May 8-Yes, there
is Joker" in the income tax bill
But in this Legislation. for a
change, the "joker" is all for the
people.
The possessors of swollen for
tunes were mUch perturbed by the
pending income tax legislation and
when the bill finally issued from
the printers they read it with
great deal of interest The first
paragraphs were disquietiEg They
fixed the rate of taxation on pri-
vate incomes one per cent On an
income of over $4,000 and under
$4,000, two par cent on as much
of the income as is above $4,000,
three per cent on all Of it above
$4,000 annually, and four per cent
on any excess Of 100000 per
year. Under this graduation a
plutocrat like John D Rockefeller
will be required to pay four per
cent income tax on all his income
except 100000 per year. This
was alarming. 1t was not
until Wall Street read down
to the corporation section that it
ielt that perhaps it had been judg-
ing the Democratic House too
&Arshly. For while individuals are
assessed on graduated scale, cur
porations are given flat tax rate
of one per cent no matter how
large their annual profits. Even
the great Steel Trust will be re-
quired to pay but one per cent tax
on its vast earnings.
When the Wall Street lawyer
read this far they smiled cynically.
Yes, they had been too hasty in
condemning the Democratic House
Here were the corporations receiv-
ing better treatment than Individ-
uals. 1t seemed almost like old
times. But the smiles faded as
they read into the "joker."
For while the corporation es-
capes the graduated tax. the stock
holder in the corporation doesn't.
Up to $4,000 the stockholders IN
come from corporation dividends is
exempt from taxation the corpora
tion itself having already paid one
per cent on this amount. But on
dividend income above 100000
the stockholders pay one per cent,
above $4,000 two per cent, and
above 500, 900 three per cent.
1t didn't take Wall Street more
than a minute to figure out that
this ineant that the small stock
holder, the widow who invests
the proceeds Of her husbands small
insurance policy in stock, the small
investor everywhere, will be ex-
empt from excessive taxation 1t
will put the chief burden of taxa
tion on the rich alone.
Wall Street would have much
preferred to have the corporations
themselves pay the graduate tax.
For then the smallest stockholder
holder of a single share,
would be required to contribute
from his slim dividend to pay the
four per cent which such corpora
tions as the Steel Trust will have to
pay on the bulk Of it's earnings.
And in case the rich man would
try to evade taxation on dividend
by using the $4,000 exemption
provision that is by scattering his
investment among many corpora.
