CENTURY PRECEDENT BROKEN
President Wilson Reads Message ia
Congress.

Tuesday President Wilson bridged
gap that for more than century
has separated the executive and legis-
latiye branches of the government, by
appearing in person before congress,
and reading his message.
Standing before the senate and house
of representatives in joint session as
10 other president has done for more
than hundred and twelve years Pres.
ident Wilson stated simply and tersely
what he thought should be done for
the welfare of The country and asked
his legislative colleagues, man to man,
to aid in keeping the pledges Of their
party.
With sweep of decision that shat
tered precedent. the president brushed
aside all imaginary boundaries between
congress and the legislative Offices and
rescued himself, as he expressed it
from that "isolated island Of jealous
authority" asthe presidency has come
to be regarded.
Congress, somewhat startled the
other day when ii heard that the pres
ident had determined TO deliver bis
message on the tariff by word of
mouth, had prepared for ceremony
OF unusual Importance and such it
was; yet when President Wilson ar
rived in the midst Of the great as
sem blage after riding through throngs

REVENUE FROM
THE INCOME TAX
INCLUDED IN DEMOCRATIC RE
VISION TARIFF BILL.
Incomes of $4,000 and Under
Are Exempted BY Measure
as Now Presented.

| Included in the democratic tariff
revision hill is an income tax section
which would require every resident of
the United States who earns more,
than $4,000 year to pay tax of
one per cent on his earnings in excess
of the exemption.
This would not require the man
who earns only $4,000 to pay tax
hut it would demand that the indi-
vidual who earned $4, for exam.
pie. pay into the government treasury
an anual tax Of one per cent on 500.
or 81.
This kill also provides higher rates
of taxation for persons with larger
incomes. adding sur tax of one per
cent additional on earningssin excess
of $40. 600; two per cent additional on
earnings in excess of $4,000 and
three per cent additional on earnings
in excess Of 500. 900.
Under the sur tax provisions the
man who earns only $4,000 would
pay to the government each year at
| the rate of one per cent on $4,000
$4,000 exempt-or $160. II he
earns $50. 900 he would pay one per
cent on $4,000 still. and two per cent
on $4,000. this making his annual
tax $500. The person with a $50. 900
income would pay one per cent on
$4,000 and two per cent on 100000
Ia total tax of $760. The man with
an income of 100000 would be re
quired to pay one per cent or $4,000.
two per cent on $4,000 and three per
cent on $4,000, bringing his total in
come tax to $2,260. The individual
with a net income of million would
pay this $2,260 on his first 500. 900
| and in addition he would pay four
per cent on 100000 would bring his
total tax to $38,26
The bill also re.enaots the present
corporation tax law, imposing one
per cent tax on the earnings Of oorpor-
atious, stock companies insurance
companies, and the like but it would
exempt partnership. This. fiat tax,
there being no graduated scale as the
earnings increase. The few changes
from the present corporation tax act
concern chiefly The time of making
returns and the time for collecting.
| The bill also includes under its pro-
visions the property and earnings in
this country of persons who live
abroad.
1t is estimated by members of the
ways and means committee that ap-
proximately 500. 100000 in revenue
will hs derived from this tax, inolud-
ing the corporation tax, that meant
making up for the deficit in revenues
to be derived from imports by virtue
Of the greatly reduced tariff rates and
the transfer to the free list of articles
that are classed as neeessaries of liy
ing.
