Washington, Oct. 1. - According to
estimates by treasury experts 425, 900
Americans must keep such account of
their incomes his ear that they will
be able to report to the income tax
collector next spring how much they
owe the government under the new in
come tax aW.
So far as the taxable American is
concerned, the income tax law is now
practically in force against him. While
the tariff bill in which the law is en-
bodied will not be signed until next
week the first returns do not have to
be made to the International revenue
collectors before March !, 1914. But
When the returns are made they will
cover the income Of citizens from
March 1, 1913 to Dec, 81, and the first
payment of TAI will be for money re-
ceived during this period.
Every single person (~citizen or
foreign ~resident) whose annual in
come exceeds $4,000, and every mar
ried person with an income above
$4,000 is expected to report his
or her receipts in detail to
the government agent March / of each
year "The estimate completed today
indicates that the income tax will pro-
luce $780, 98, 900 from the 425, 900 per-
sons taxed. To this will be added the
$4,000, 900 Or more produced by the
present corporation tax which is con-
tinued as part of the law. The income

J part of the business world which is

best way to get business was to
4knock" every move made by a com
itpetitor. The idea hat the other fell
dow" could not possibly do anything
right, that he must always be on the
wrong side is so absurd and ridicu-
Ilous on the face Of ii, that the wise
fbusiness man abandoned it long ago.
INow-a-days the successful business
man frankly admits that his COMPETE
tor undoubtedly has real value in his
goods and is not trying to rob his
b~customers.
1t seems however that. the pro-
fessional politician has not yet learn
ed this lesson. North Dakota has had
some glazing examples Of this short
tgighted policy recently.
+ Senator Gronna came back from
FEWashington n could see absolutely
Tnothing but bad in the democratic
tariff bill. Congressman Helgesen
came back from Washington, and in a
lengthy interview, fayed everything
that the democrats have done. Now
comes Senator McCumber and in
m%ournful numbers recites the same
tale. From start to finish the tariff
bill Is bad, the currency bill is bad,
the whole democratic programme is a
mistake.
Do these men think the people are
absolute fools?
The animus behind these statements
is so readily apparent as to make them
laughable. Because the democrats did
1t, because they are democratic
masures. there is not one line, not
one word right. From start to finish
the entire legislative programme is
a mistake. That is the attitude Of
these ~hide-bound standpatters.

President Wilson, the federal judges
Of the supreme our and federal courts
now holding office; and employees "of
a state or any political subdivision
thereof" are the only persons specifl-
cally exempted from the tax by the
new law. The president and judges
now in offices were made exempt to
escape any questions Of the constitu-
tionality Of the law n their sue
cessors in office will be compelled to
pay the tax.
The general public is expected to
give close study to the new law in the
next few months, as the first burden
Of the tax payment rests with the in
dividual citizen, and his failure to re-
port his income is punishable by a fine.
It is admitted that when the first re-
turns are made many taxable persons
probably will escape, payment; but
with each veal the governments lists
of persons with taxable incomes will
be made more nearly complete.
