TAX ON INCOMES
NOW ASSURED
ThiTty-SGVen Legislatures Rat-
lily Amendment
WYOMING AND DELAWARE ACT
The Bill Is Already Under Consider
alton and Probably Will Be Enacted
at Extra Session.

The states of Wyoming and Della
ware rushed to the fore and made the
provision for levying an income tax
part OF the constitution of the United
States by ratifying the amendment
submitted to the states by congress.
Thirty-five states previously had
taken similar action. AS to whether
Delaware or Wyoming will be accord
ed the honor of being the state com
pleting the three-fourths necessary to
made the amendment part of the con
stitution probably will depend upon a
technical question of time. News OF
Wyoming's action was the first TO
reach Washington.
The action in Wyoming was taken in
both houses of the legislature under
suspension of the rules. Thus New
Jersey and New Mexico, both Of which
were expected to ratify the amend
ment were beaten out in the race to
be the state to decide the question that
has been agitNed in various forms for
many years.
This is the sixteenth change in the
constitution and the first since the re
construction days following the Civil
War.
Congress now will enact a law to
levy the tax, and it probably will be-
come enec tive in the extraordinary
session to be called by President-elect
Wilson in March The tax itself, its
provisions ald its limitations are all
left to congress.
The new law probably will super
sede the corporation tax and provide
for a 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 |
who have been preparing for the final
ratification by the states estimate an 4
income tax would bring in about $780, |
100000 a year.
Now that the tax is permitted 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 law unconstitutional, will be drop
ped, and some of its provisions may
be included in the new law.
As there are fOrty-eight states in the
Union, ratification OF thirty-six. or
three-fourths of the whole number,
acting through their legislatures, is
necessary to change the constitution.
The thirty-ive states acting before
Wyoming and Delaware were: Ala
bama, Arkansas, Arizona, California,
Colorado, Georgia. Idaho, Illinois, In
diana, Iowa, Kansas. Michigan, Missis-
sippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska,
Nevada, New York, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon,
Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota,
Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wis
consin and West Virginia.
-Four states - Connecticut, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island and Utah
rejected the amendment.
The sixteenth amendment, as it will
be known, reads as follows:
article XVI-The congress shall
have power to lay and collect taxes on
incomes, from whatever source deriv-
ed, without apportionment among the {
states, and without regard to any cen

Castro Released From Ellis Island.

Cipriano Castro. former president OF
Venezuela, walked the streets of New
York, temporarily a free man, under
writ OF habeas orpus issued by Judge
Holt in the federal court.
