constitution, Delaware Wyoming and
New Mexico, indersing the income tax
amendment through their respective leg

that have approved it, two more than the
three-fourths necessary for its final adop-

Leaders in Congress predicted tonight

American incomes, will be introduced as
soon as the extra session opens. Its ex-
act terms have not been decided upon.
but it is believed will exempt all incomes
below $1,000 or 5000. aud will provide a
tax of per cent upon the majority of
personal incomes that do not run to an
excessive figure.
Informal notice of the final adoption

Reading of Amendment

The provision authorizing an income tax
as now made a part of the federal consti-
tuition will be known as the Sixteenth
amendment and reads as follows:
Article xV1.-The Congress shall have
power to lay and collect taxes on incomes.
from whatever source derived. without
apportionment among the states and
without regard TO any census or enumer-
ation
The change in the fundamental law Of
the land marks new epoch in the Amer
lean tax system. For the first time Con-
gress Is given specific authority by pro-
vision of the federal constitution to levy
an income tax. All previous efforts for
tax Of this kind have been without the
explicit authority of constitutional pro-
vision The change also marks a broad
development Of the economic and fiscal
system OF the United States, permitting
incomes to be basis for taxation, sifni-
| lar to the systems now In force in Great
/ Britain, Austria. Switzerland, Spain ana
various other countries,
| Probably the most Important aspect
of an income tax. as now authorized by
tha constitution. is that it adds new
! Source Of revenue for the government.
| At present the two a eat sources OF gov
] ernment revenue are customs duties
levied by thrift acts on goods imported
from foreign countries. and internal rev
enne taxes on tobacco. spirits, oleomaf-
Rarine and certain othef aftlcles. Eacu
| Of these sources at present produces .
little less than half of the total revenues
of the government. In 1911 the total gov
| ernment revenues were 800 1O0,9Od and of
| this customs duties yielded s3lS, SD. .2d9.
| while internal revenue taxes yielded
S331 1890. The remainder came from
sales Of public lands, the corporation tax
and various miscellaneous sources. I'm

far reaching source of revenue Is PRO

and Internal revenue. in order 70 meet

tant bearing on tariff legislation as here

"One of the important results OF an in
