NEW INCOME TAX
STARTS AT $4,000
Elaborate Provision for Gradu.
ated Payment System in
New Tariff Bill.

Washington. d. Concluded In the
Democratic tariff revision bill Is an
income tax section, which would re-
uuire every resident of the United
States who earns more than $4,000 a
year to pay a tax of l per cent. on
his earnings in excess of the exemp-
ton. This would not compel the man
who earns only $4,000 to pay a tax,
but it would demand that one who
earned $4100, for example, pay into
the government treasury an annual
tax of l per cent. on 500, or 81.
The bill also would provide higher
rates of taxation for persons with
larger incomes, adding surtaX OF l
per cent. additional on earnings In eX-
cess of $20,000;2 per cent. additional
on earnings in excess of $4,000, and 3
per cent. additional on earnings in ex'
cess of 100000.
How Surtax Would Be Imposed.
Under the surtax provisions the man
who earns $4,000 would pay to the
government each year at the rate of
1 per cent on $4,000 $4,000 exempt,
or $3.50. II he earns 100000 he would
pay / per cent. on $4,000. and . per
cent. on $4,000, making his annual
tax 1850. The person with $4,000
income would pay l per cent. on $751;
600 and per cent. on 100000 total
tax of $3.50. The man with an income
of 100000 would be required to pay
! per cent. on $4,000, per cent. on
100000, and per cent. on $4,000,
which would be $500, bringing his
total income tax to $2.260. Anyone
with net income OF a million
would pay this $2,26O on his first
$1,000 and in addition he would pay
4 per cent. on 100000, which would
bring his total tax to s3S,260.
This bill also would re-enact the
present corporation tax law, imposing
1 per cent. tax on the earnings of
corporations, stock companies, insur-
ance companies and the like, but 1t
would exempt partnerships. This is
a fat tax. there being no graduated
scale as the earnings increase. The
few changes from the present corpo-
ration tax act concern chiefly the time
Of making returns and the time for
collection.
The bill includes under its provi-
sions the property and earnings in this
country of persons who live abroad.
