Washington. The Democratic tariff
revision bill, first on the program of
reforms mapped out when President
Wilson came into Office, advanced to
its last congressional stage when it
was brought back to the house from
the joint conference committee with
the unanimous Endorsement OF the
Democratic conferees.
The measure, of course. has both its
friends and enemies. According to
the administration, it carries out

The measure, consequently, has a
larger importance than that Of a mere
tariff reform bill, and its effect must
be wide spread, both on business and
industry, and also in connection with
politics. Democratic leaders are con-
tident that business will suffer no UNI

benefited

The bill imposes an average ad

INCOME TAX SCHEDULE.

Washington.-Acc to esti-
mates completed by the treasury ex-
perts, 425,000 American citizens must
keep such accurate account of their
incomes this year that they will be
able to report to the income tax col
lector next spring exactly how much
they owe the government under the
new income tax law.
so far as the taxable American is
concerned, the income tax law is now
practically in force against him. While
the tariff law in which the law is en-
bodied will not be signed until next
week, the first returns do not have to
be made to the internal revenue col
lectors before March l, 1914. But when
the returns are made they will Gov
er the income of citizens from March
1, 1913, to December 81, and the first
payment of tax will be for money re-
ceived during this period.
Every single person (citizen or for
eign resident) whose annual income
exceeds $4,000, and every married per-
son with an income above $4,000, is
expected to report his or her re-
eeipts in detail to the government
agents March 1 of each year.
To Produce $4,000, 900.
The estimate completed indicates
that the income tax will produce $751;
29S.O00 from the 425, 200 persons taxed.
To this will be added the $35.G00,0 900
or more produced by the present cor
poration tax, which is continued as
part of the law.
President Wilson, the federal judges
Of the Supreme court now holding Of
fee and employees 'of state or any
political subdivision thereof" are the
only persons specifically exempted
from the tax by the new law. The
president and judges now in Office
were made exempt to escape any Ques-
tons Of the constitutionality of the
law, and their successors in office will
be compelled to pay the tax
First Burden is on Citizen.
The general public is expected to
give close study to the new law in
the next few months, as the first bur-
den of the tax payment rests with the
individual citizen, and his failure to
report his income is punishable by a
6he.
1t is admitted that when first re-
turns are made many taxable persons
probably will escape payments, but
with each year the governments lists
of persons with taxable incomes will
be made more nearly complete.
Methods of Collecting Tax.
Two primary methods of collecting
the tax are contained in the law. One
is that the individual return made by
the citizen; the other the returns by
corporations and other employers who
pay their employees taxes at the
source" Under the law as it will be
signed by President Wilson next week,
every large company employing labor
will be compelled to report any regu-
lar salaries 1t pays in excess of the
$4,000 figures, and will pay the taxes
for its employees and deduct the tar
from their pay envelopes
This payment at the source will
apply to salaries, rents, interests, roy
alties. partnership profits and some
other sources of income, and persons
receiving such incomes must be pre-
pared to show that the money has
paid its tax at its source.
In figuring up his net income for
the taxpayer. the American business
man, after deducting $4,000 for him
self, or $4,000, If married, will have

One OF the effective, sharply etched
dramas Of the lights and shadows OF
New York's rush and roar is THE

has been piling up royalties for Edward
Selwyn, and remains a big favorite with
theatergoers Of all types. 1t Is given a
sympathetic, clever, faithful portrayal
