WYOMING RATlFIEs AMENDMENT
TO U. s. CONSTITUTIONS;
3sTh STATE.
RAISE s1OO,OOO,OO0
GOVERNMENT ExPEcTs THAT
AMOUNT WHEN MEASURE
TAKES EFFECT.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-An income tax Is now
one OF the provisions OF the constitu-
tton of the United States.
Wyoming's ratification of the In
come tax amendment-the sixteenth
change In tho constitution and the
first since the reconstruction--com
pleted a list OF thirty-six states-three
fourths OF the which have ap-
proved the provision.
Congress now will enact law to
levy the tax, and 1t probably will be-
come effective during the extraordi-
nary session to be called by Presi-
dent-elect Wilson in March.
The tax itself. its provisions and its
limitations, are left to Congress.
The new law probably would super
sede the corporation tax and provide
for tax on all incomes above $4,000,
although there has been some senti-
ment in favor OF making the limit as
low as $4,000 Congressional leaders
ygho have been preparing for the final
ratification by the states each year,
estimate an income tax would bring
in about $100.000,000 a year to the
government
Now that the tax is provided by the
constitution, the proposed excise tax,
framed by the Democratic leaders in
1912 to meet the Supreme Courts de-
cision which held a former income tax
unconstitutional, will be dropped and
some OF its provisions may be in
cluded in the new law.
West Virginia ratified the amend
ment few days ago. One house in
New Jersey and one In New Mexico
have approved it.
Wyoming's ratification was wholly
unexpected at this time.
The provision authorizing an In.
come tax as now made part of the
federal constitution will be known as
the sixteenth amendment. and reads
as follows:
ARTICLE xVL--The Congress shall
have power to lay and collect taxes
on incomes. from whatever source de-
rived. without apportionment among
the states adm without regard to any
census or enumeration
