Washington, Feb. 4.-The provision
authorizing an income tax as now
made part of the Federal Constitu
ton will be known as the Sixteenth
Amendment" and reads as follows:
Article XVI.-The Congress shall
have power to lay and collect taxes on
incomes, from whatever source de-
rived, without apportionment among
the states, and without regard to any
census or enumeration"
The change in the fundamental law
OF the land marks a new epoch in the
!, American tax system. For the first
time Congress is given specific author
ity by a provision of the Federal Con-
stitution to levy an income tax All
previous efforts for tax of this kind
have been without the explicit author
ity Of Constitutional provision. The
change also marks a broad develop
ment of the economics and fiscal sys-
tenn of the United States, permitting
incomes to be basis for taxation,
similar to the system now In force in
Great Britain, Austria Switzerland,
Spain and various other countries.
Probably the most important aspect
OF an income tax, as now authorized
by the Constitution is that it adds a
new source of revenue for the govern
ment. At present the two great
sources of government revenue are
customs duties levied by tariff acts on
goods imported from foreign coun-
tries; and internal revenue taxes on
tobacco, spirits, oleomargarine and
certain other articles. Each of these
sources at present produces a little
less than half of the total revenues of
ne government. In 1911 the total gov :
revenues were $700,100, 900 ,
md OF this customs duties yielded t
S1S,S46,269, while internal revenue t
axes yielded 1891, 759,375. The re- v
nainder came from sales of public
ands, the corporation tax and vari- a
us miscellaneous sources. Under an O
lcome tax, however, a new and far a
eaching source of revenue is provided Il
'r the government, and this will in a

turn reduce the amount required from
the other sources of revenue, customs
and internal revenue, in order to meet
the expenses Of the government. This
last phase is likely to have an impor
tant bearing on tariff legislation as
hereafter enacted
Before the amendment formally be-
comes a part of the Constitution to-
days action of the Legislature must
be transmitted to the Secretary of
State at Washington and proclamation
of the ratification made.
The first official step toward amend
ing the Constitution so as to authorize
specifically an income tax was taken
by the Senate on July 1900. By
unanimous vote, that body adopted a
resolution, submitting this amend
ment to the Legislatures of the respec-
tive states. Only few days later, on
July IL, the House passed the resolu-
ton by a vote of 317 to IA.
The movement took form during the
tariff debate in 1909. Amendments to
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, incorpo-
rating an income tax and inheritance
tax measures were then pressed.
Finally President Taft sent message
to Congress, urging the passage of a
tax upon 'the doing of business by
measured by their in
come" and the submission to the
states of an income tax amendment to
the Constitution.
Senator Brown, of Nebraska, faith
cred the amendment finally adopted, !
As introduced and sent to the Finance
committee, Congress was given power

tut apportionment When the amend
nent was reported out of committee
~ Senator Aldrich, the words direct"
lad been eliminated The words
from whatever source derived" were
Incorporated. These words caused
harp criticism before several state
legislatures.
In the House the amendment was
eferred to the Ways and Means Com
littee. One afternoon was given to {
ebate. Representative Payne, Re- {
ublican floor leader, spoke in favor s
giving the government the power as I
war measure, but denounced it as a S
9ace measure by saying that he be- J
eyed with Gladstone, that it tends 7
make a nation of liars" Represen- a
tive Champ Clark championed the I
nendment as making accumulated t
ealth pay the just burden of taxa I

70 House by very large majority in d
hich both parties were represented. D
