DEMOCRATS OF WAYS AND MEANS
wREsTLE WITH ADMINlsrRA.
TIVE FEATURES OF LAW.
PRESIDENT WILSON WINS
IN FIGHT FOR LOWER TARIFF
Committee Agrees to Demands for Free
Raw Wool. FREQ Dressed Meats and
Free Boots and Shoes-Tariff on
Sugar and Other Articles Vet to Be
Determined.

Washington, April 3.-The democrat
ic majority of the house committee on
ways and means reassembled today
at what was expected to be the final
meeting previous to the tariff revision
bin being laid before the democratic
caucus next Tuesday.
With points Between the president
and the committee settled as to raw
wool. chief interest shifted to the free
sugar and the income tax plan.
Members of the committee were pre-
pared to receive final word from the
president regarding the tariff measure
and to devote much Of today to the in
come tax There was possibility OF
change in the provisional rate Of l
per cent on amounts above the ex-
empted $4,000 a year, running up to 4
per cent of 100000 or more a year.
FIex'biIity Desired.
In connection with the framing OF
the new permanent feature Of the gov
ernment revenue system considera-
ton of the question of the f1exibility OF
rates so as to reach an emergency
in government needs has evoked an Is
sue as to the constitutionality of any
provisions that would permit the pres
ident by proclamation or otherwise to
change any income tax rate.
The income tax plan will absorb
much Of the administrative details of
the present corporation tax law and
will be administered by tho present but
enlarged internal revenue machinery OF
the treasury department.
The law will be based on the In
comes of single years operation in
stead of an average number of years
The cost OF collection it was estimated
would not exceed per cent Of the ag-
sregate revenue.
Tax Payer Cant Dodge. -
1t is figured that at least two thirds
Of the tax revenue can be collected
under the principle Of collection at the
source. The purpose Of this method
is to minimize the inquisitorial fea-
lures and lessen the basis Of individual
complaint. This is largely based on
the workings Of the law in Great Brit
ain. which country. according to the
information laid before the committee,
has collected .$20O.o00,O00 from an in
come tax. AS to all incomes by which
the tax is so measured and paid. the
individual taxpayer would not be re-
quired to make personal return. The
government, corporations, co-partner-
ships and persons paying annual earn
ings to employees or other persons in
excess Of the minimum taxable income,
now Professionally $4,000. would deduct
and withhold this tax and turn 1t over
to the government. a method that
would likewise apply to mortgagers
and lessees Of real or personal proper
ty. The taxpayer under the proposed
system would not in the bulk of cases
come in contact With a revenue Of

Dynamite Crew Cut Way For Success
fuI Attack at Scutari.
Cettinje. April 3.-Great Tarabosch
fort, which for months has held the
allies off Scutari. is now practically in
the hands of the Montengrins, thanks to
the sacrifice Of 200 bomb throwers,
every one Of whom lost his life in a
last desperate effort to clear the way
to the town for the possession of
which Montenegro is ready to give up
everything
These bomb throwers were all picked
men. chosen from several battalions.
Clambering up the mountainside under
murderous fire from the Turkish guns,
they cut the wire entanglements, and.
getting to close quarters, threw bombs
among the Turks, thus opening the way
for the storming party. Not one Of the
bomb throwers returned, but they had
accomplished their object and the Mon
tenegrin infantry. following close upon
them. charged the trenches.
The Turks held their ground and a
desperate and bloody hand to hand
fight ensued, lasting an hour, and end
ing in victory for the Montenegrins,
who lost 300 men killed and wounded.
Tier after tier Of entertainments had
to be taken. but the troops of the south
ern division. under General Martino-
witch, to whom the task had been as
signed, overcame all obstacles.
The tactics followed particularly in
regard to the use Of bomb -throwers,
were similar to those adopted in the
capture of Adrianople. But in the adj
vance on Adrianople the soldiers who
cut and divided the wire entanglements

cuirasses and provided with shields.
At Tarabosch the rough mountain
side made 1t necessary for the Monte
negrins to dispense with all impede
ments.
