Washington.-The Democratic tariff revision bill. first on the program of reforms mapped out when President Wilson came into office, advanced to It's last congressional stage when it was brought back to the house from the Joint conference committee with the unanimous indorsement of the Democratic conferees.
 The measure, of course, has both it's friends and enemies. According to the administration, 1t carries out four of the party promises. Tariff re- form, reduction in the high cost of living. campaign against the trusts, in that duties have been taken off of many trust made article, and the in come tax.
 The measure, consequently, has a larger importance than that of a mere tarih reform bill. and its effect must be widespread. both on business and industry, and also in connection with politics. Democratic leaders are con hdent that business will suffer no un- toward effect; that consumers will be benefited.
 Changes In the Rates.
 The bill imposes an average ad valorem rate of from 27 to 29 per cent. The average for the present Aldrich law is 4O.12 per cent The average for the Wilson-Gorman act was 39.45 per cent
 Duties generally have been reduced on all of the articles that enter into the necessaries of life, including the products of the farm as well as manu- tactured products.
 Trust made products in many cases have been transferred to the free list or the duties at present imposed have been substantially reduced.
 The income tax feature of the bill Is expected to net some $83, 100000 It will call for a tax on net incomes of unmarried persons of S3,000 and up- wards and on net incomes of married persons living together, where the wife or husband is dependent, of S4,- 900 and upwards.

WEALTH IN MIDDLE WEST
investigations by Commissioner of Internal Revenue Reveal Large
 Fortunes There

The commissioner of internal reve- nue made public the estimates on in- comes for the middle west
 These estimates show that far mora wealth is distributed in Illinois out side of Chicago than in the city. The commissioner of internal revenue IS inclined to believe the reports are so far from correct that he will not use them to any extent in his plans for the collection of the income tax.
 According to his statement, 12,O00 citizens of Chicago have incomes ranging from s3,O0O to $20,00O per year, while 12,8O0 citizens of the Eighth district. which has it's head quarters in Springfield, have incomes within this scope. Only 5000 individ- uals in the Fifth district. with head quarters at Peoria are listed
 Likewise in Indiana there is a great variance in districts. The collector for the Sixth district reported over 10000 taxable incomes, and the col Iector for the Seventh district reported only 5000
 Large Fortunes In Iowa.
 Iowa's incomes will be largely taxed, the collector for that state reporting nearly IT 900 taxable fortunes. Wis consin has a few over 10000. Michigan close to 12,O00, and Minnesota about 4,000.
 A feature about the Minnesota in- come estimate is that the collector de clares there are 15O men in the state with incomes upwards of s1o0, 900 an nuaIly, while in Chicago the collector reported only 35 persons with incomes above the S100, 900 mark
 Large fortunes seem to predominate in Minnesota, for there are ,00O men rated with incomes between S20,OOO and $5O,00O. as against 500 in Chicago and 1 900 in the whole state of Hi nois; 500 with incomes between s5O.- 900 and $100,000, as against 175 in Chicago and 275 in Illinois, and 150 over $1OO.OOO, as against 50 in Hi nois.
 Indiana and Michigan are also re- ported as having large income bear ing fortunes over the S2O,O00 mark

INCOME TAX SCHEDULE.

ngton.-According to esti- mates completed by the treasury ex- perts, 425000 American citizens must keep such accurate account of their incomes this year that they will be able to report to the income tax col lector next spring exactly how much they owe the government under the new income tax law
 So far as the taxable American is concerned, the income tax law is now practically in force against him. While the tariff law in which the law is em- bodied will not be signed until next week, the first returns do not have to be made to the internal revenue col leCtOrs before March 1, 1914 But when the returns are made they will GOV CT the income of citizens from March l, 1913, to December 31, and the first payment of tax will be for money re- ceived during this period
 Every single person (citizen or for eign residenD whose annual income exceeds $3 3000, and every married per son with an income above $4.OOO, is expected to report his or her re- ceipts in detail to the government i
 To Produce $e2, 900.
 The estimate completed indicates that the income tax will produce SS2,- 298,O00 from the 425,O persons taxed. To this will be added the S35 5OO0,O or more produced by the present cor part of the law
  of the Supreme court now holding of fee and employees "of a state or any political subdivision thereof" are the only persons specifically exempted from the tax by the new law. The president and judges now in office were made exempt to escape any ques- tons of the constitutionality of the Jaw, and their successors in office will be compelled to pay the tax.
 First Burden Is on Citizen.
 The general public is expected to give close study to the new law in the next few months. as the first bur den of the tax payment rests with the individual citizen, and his failure to report his income is punishable by a fine
 It is admitted that when first re- turns are made many taxable persons probably will escape payments, but with each year the governments lists of persons with taxable incomes will be made more nearly complete.
 Methods of Collecting Tax
 Two primary methods of collecting the tax are contained in the law. One is that the individual return made by the citizen; the other the returns by and other employers who pay their employees taxes "at the source" Under the law as it will be signed by President Wilson next week, every large company employing labor will be compelled to report any regu- lar salaries 1t pays in excess of the $3, 900 figures, and will pay the taxes for it's employees and deduct the tax from their pay envelopes.
 This payment at the source will apply to salaries, rents, interests, roy alties, partnership profits and some other sources of income, and persons receiving such incomes must be pre- pared to show that the money has paid it's tax at it's source.
 In figuring up his net income for the taxpayer, the American business man, after deducting $3000 for him. self or S4.000. if married. will have
