U. S. MAY IMPOSE TAX
ON $1,000 SALARIES
Administration Also May Increase
Rate on Those Already Paying
g. Tax on Incomes.
HOUSE BILL EXPECTED SOON

In connection with the administra-
ton plans to impose war revenue
taxes, there is talk Of extending the
scope Of the present income tax by
reducing the minimum income liable
to taxation to $1,000 or even as low as
$500. AT the same time IT is proposed
TO increase the per cent of tax on in
comes already taxable.
The lowering of the minimum OF in
comes taxable would bring within the
law hundreds Of thousands Of persons
now exempt and raise millions of dol
lars of additional revenue. The pro-
posed increase Of the rate on incomes
now taxed would yield millions also.
It Is considered likely that a bill to
raise war revenue taxes will be intro
duced very soon in the House, and that
In general il win follow closely the war
revenue measure OF 1905.
Leaders believe such q law when enact
ed win remain In force for long time.

bulk Of the income from the customs

dition to ship heavily TO US for several
