Exactly how the accident happened is
hard to determine. Eye-witnesses differ
as to details and Mrs. Miller, the only
occupant of the car able to tell any
thing about the circumstances, says that
she remembers nothing after the car
went into the ditch. The accident hap
pened at the foot of winding grade,
where a small bridge spans drainage
ditch.
1t Is said that Baker was driving the
car probably 60 miles an hour as he came
down the grade and crossed the bridge.
About 90 feet beyond the bridge the left
wheels of the car went into the ditch
and continued up it for 75 feet. Here they
came in contact with small stump and

Outlook for Income Tax

If Congress decides to levy an income
tax, of which there is little doubt, the cor
poration excise tax will, of course, be
absorbed in the income tax law. 1t is
pretty safe to. say that the rate of the
income tax will not be fixed beyond
per cent. There have been many objec-
tons advanced to an income tax, one of
which that it would become confiscatory,
but certainly possible tax of 800 on an
income of $4,000, provided that they de-
eide to make incomes of $1,000 or less ex-
empt, could not be considered confisca-
tory.
The income tax question will be settled
in all probability definitely along with the
tariff legislation during the extra ses-
sion. 1t is understood that there is more
difference of opinion among representa-
tives regarding the size of the incomes
which shall be exempt of taxation than
there Is regarding the rate of tax Some
members, it is said. favor taxing incomes
down to $1,000. They argue that no pa
triotic citizen who has an annual in
come of $4,000 would object paying a direct
tax of so to the government $4,000 being
exempted). If these views prevail it will
greatly increase the amount of revenue
under the act In many communities it is
easy to find dozens of people who have
incomes about $1,000, while the person with
an income above $4,000 is rare.
Those in favor of the $1,000 minimum
and consequently a great increase of the
number of persons taxed, declare that it
will have great tendency to create a
public sentiment all over the country
which will demand economy in the ex
penditure of the public money. In all
the states of the union there is a system
of direct taxation, it is argued, and this
system creates general interest in how
the state spends the money, and quickens
public concern in the financial affairs of
the state. The citizen who pays a direct
tax. however small, to the government
will Immediately, it is claimed, have a
more personal interest in the wise and
economic administration of the govern
ment's finances.
Five thousand, however, is the more
generally accepted sum which congress-
men favor to begin with as a minimum,
and that together with rate of ! per
cent Will, in all probability be the initial
experiment of levying an income tax

Loss in Revenue

In the event this programme is carried
out, it is estimated that the loss in rev.
enue to the government under these bills
will be considerably less than $lO0, 100000.
In fact something like $60090,000, and 1t
is possible not even so much; the amount
of loss, of course will be governed entire
ly upon the increase in importations. The
total amount of revenue received annually
into the Golfers of the government is ap-
proximately $1,000, 5000, of which, roughly
estimated, one-fourth comes from postal
receipts, one-.hird from internal revenue
taxes on tobacco, spirits, ETC., one-third
from customs duties and the remainder
from the corporation tax and other mis-
cellaneous receipts, such as sale of public
lands, etc.
OF the existing taxes, therefore, the cor
poration excise tax, yielding something
over $30,000000 annually, is the only tax
that can be said to be levied upon the
wealth of the country, and the revenue
from this source equals 8less than one
thirtieth of the entire national revenue.

Washington February 2S.-(Special.l--
The extra session of Congress will begin
April ], and the new Congress will have
plenty of time to prepare for its duty OF
passing the tariff bills which will be conf
pleted under the direction of the new
ways and means committee to be selected
by caucus of the new House March ).
AS yet no one knows whether anything
beyond the tariff will occupy the attention
of Congress in the extra session. That
question remains with Mr.. Wilson to de-
eide, and it is believed that after he con-
suits with the leaders that he will deter
mine to let other legislation wait over till
the long session in December.
1t will not take the House long to drive
the tariff bills through. but with the Sen
ate it is entirely a different matter. They
may elect to discuss sthe measure till late
in the summer. While they are doing SO.
in the absence of any other legislation to
be considered, the House will only mark
time.

MIR. Hill was defeated for reelection, al
though he based his hight largely on the

schedule. Last summer Mr.. Hill, with the
aid of the tariff board. and based upon
their findings, wrote a republican tariff
schedule for cotton and cotton manufac-
turies In his fight ofor reelection Mr..
Hills bill was given wide pupncity, and
was considered especially good campaign

many cotton concerns. Nevertheless he
was defeated, and now his colleagues III
the present House do not think il worth
while to make fight for his bill.
The principal hight upon the democratic
tariff bill, particularly in the Senate. it
Isl believed, will be upon the sugar, cotton,
wool and steel schedules in the order
named. Just what reductions under the
present law on these schedules will finally
be adopted it is impossible to more tnan
surmise at this time, inasmuch as the
new ways and means committee will
have say as to the final draft of the bill.
1t is generally understood, however, that
the sentiment of the new House will be
to enact practically the same bills that
were passed during the Sixty-second Con-
gress, believing that they represent as
radical a reduction in the tariff as can
be consistently undertaken TO begin with.
