Suggests Income Tax for State.

The State Tax Commission, suggest ing new sources of revenues. says the Legislatures could pass a law provId- ing for a privilege or excise tax on the gross receipts of places of amuse- ment. such as moving picture shows, theaters, vaudevillee, circuses, etc" It also suggests a re-enaetment of the statute of 1905 providing for the tax ing Of rolling stock of private car com. panies in addition to the privilege or excise tax now provided by the act Of 1909.
 On the subject of an income tax, the commission says: While the federal government now collects a tax on in. comes above s3,OOO per annum, we see no reason why the state should not al- so make this a source Of revenue, as he who is making money is more able to support the government than he who is not. Hence. we suggest that the in coming Legislature submit an amendment to our constitution pro- viding for graduated tax on incomes, making proper allowances for those who have families to support.
 Tn this way 1t is not expected that the deficit will be covered at once, but with this change in our law and rigid economy practiced in all departments and institutions of the state, in the course of a few years the deficit now existing in the states general reve- nue fund should disappear.
