new INCOME TAX
STARTS AT $4,000
Elaborate Provision for Gradu-
ated Payment System In
New Tariff Bill.

Washington. d. SC-1ncludedf In the
Democratic tariff revision bill 10 an
income tax section, which would re.
qu1re every resident Of the United
States who earns more than $4,000 a
year to pay q tax OF I per cent. on
his earnings in excess Of the exemp-
ton. This would not compel the man
who earns only $4,000 to pay . tax,
but It would demand that one who
earned $4,100, for example, pay into
the government treasury an annual
tax OF / per cent. on 500. or 81.
The bill also would provide higher
rates of taxation for persons with
larger incomes, adding q surtax Of 1
per cent. additional on earnings In ex-
cess Of $40. 900; 2 per cent. additional
on earnings In excess Of 10000, and 8
per cent. additional on earnings in ex-
cess Of 500, 900.
How surtax Would BE Imposed.
Under the surtax provisions the man
who earns 100000 would pay to the
government each year at the rate Of
/ per cent. on SIC, 900 ($4, 900 exempt),
or $3.50. II he earns $4,000 he would
pay per cent. on $4,000. and 2 per
cent, on $4,000, making his annual
tax 1850. The person with q $4,000
income would pay per cent on $751;
900 and per cent. on $50, 000-a total
tax Of $760. The man with an income
Of 500, 900 would be required to pay
/ per cent. on $4,000. 3 per cent. on
$4,000, and 8 per cent. on $50, 900,
which would be $500, bringing his
total income tax to $2,260. Anyone
with net income OF million
would pay this $2,260 on his first
$4,000 and in addition he would pay
per cent. on 100000, which would
bring his total tax to 1913, 260.
This bill also would re-enact the
present corporation tax law, imposing
q 1 per cent. tax on the earnings of
corporations. stock companies, insur-
ance companies and the like, but 1t
would exempt partnerships. This ia
q fiat 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. N Il '&ssIE
The bill includes under its provi-
stems the property and earnings In this
country of persons who live abroad.

CITY FINANCES
IN POOR SHAPE
Hancock Must Borrow Heavily to
Tide Over StringenCy

The Hancock city council met last
evening in regular session. the meet
ing being short one. Little bust
ness of Importance came up. the most
striking feature being statement re-
garding the condition of the city
finances That the situation is gravcr
than generally believed became appar-
eni as soon as the report of the city
clerk was read.
Clerk Macdonald informed the
council that the fire fund was over
drawn to the amount of S3,309.S9 and
ne street fund to the amount OF
S379.ji, I'm addition To this there
were bills against the street fund t.
the amount of $1Oli19. which had
been ordered paid bills for SSSi1S
against the fire fund, an overdue note
for Si9O with interest which had been
Negotiated by w. Frank James to take
the fire department members To the
last tournament ana other notes com
ing due the first of the month In
tercst on the notes was due soon and
the city salary list was sooE To come
up for settlement. The collection OF
city taxes for the past month had
yielded but $Si with the probability
that the collections would not yield
much revenue in the near future. The
city clerk estimated that $4,000 was
needed To put the city on its feet ana
run II during the next few months.
The council took up this question
in cautious manner and their hc>i-
tation was Increased by an assertion
from G. Donahue that the city had
no right To borrow money as II had
been doing i'm the past. The city at
torney responded by declaring that
tho city by virtue of the emergency
clause of it's charter could borrow any
amount up 10 $4,000 and could borrow
81. 600 further on another clause The
city would have the money from the
liquor Licenses after the first of May,
which would aid materially.
\ motion was made To refer the
matter 10 the finance committee, sup
plcmented by the mayor, attorney and
clerk This committee was instructed
10 meet Immediately after the close
of the session in the city clerks Of
fee to consider ways and means.
