fair to tax the ordinary conduct OF
business. such as the sending packages
by express and the like, in order to
provide revenue for the government ;s
the belief of Senator A. B. Cummins.
When the government needs revenue it
should be provided in some other way,
he believes. The senators attention
was called to the news which has come
from San Francisco where the income
tax question has been discussed by the
National Tax Association This as
sociation takes the position that the in.
come tax exemption should be lowered
to $1,000 In order to provide additional
revenue. AS to the income tax the
senator said the man with the big in
come felt 1t very little while it might
prove hardship to the man with the
small income.
However. the government is in need
OF additional revenue and it is very
probable that some farther taxation
will be provided when congress again
Is convened. In the period from
October. 1913. to July. 1914, or the first
eight months after the new tariff laws
went into effect, the falling off in reve-
n lie TO the government amounted to
s2looo.o0o and by the time the laws
had been in operation year the defci,
as compared 10 the previous year was
$4,000. 900.
Marsh Not Candidate.

quires too much Of his attention for
him TO devote the time necessary to a

returned to Iowa from California and
this past week has been in Washington.
