MILLS INCOME TAX
PLAN WINS FAVOR
Assessment Change Approved at
State Conference.

lFron q s;sr Correspondent O, The Trbgnsl
Albany, Jan. 10 Senator Ogden L.
Mills, chairman Of the Legislative Taxa
ton Committee, told the State Taxa
ton Conference here to-day that the In
come tax Is the fairest kind OF tax
because 1t taxes each man in accord
ance with his ability TO pay
Under the present personal property
tax" Senate Mills declared, "the great
est relative burdens fall upon the men
OF moderate means"
Senator Mills said that the personal
property tax was failure, from the
standpoint Of fairness. revenue and ad-
ministration, and that there was no
chance Of such a tax succeeding. The
income tax, he contends. is the only
levy that will compel that great class
of people who do business in New York
City, who enjoy its advantages and now
nav no taxes at ell, to contribute their
share toward the support of the govern
ment.
He said his comittes had recommend
ed that an income tax law be enacted,
with exemptions up TO $1,000 for q sim
Gle man and $4,000 for a man with
family. and with rates running from
ene-half OF / per cent to per cent.
Senator Mills estimated that under such
a system a man with an income OF
100000 would pay less than $1,000 a
wear, and that family man with $4,000
would pay about SO.
Senator Mills said that an income tax
at these rates on individuals and at
8 per cent rate in general business cor
porations would raise, less the amount
which would be lost from the abolition
of the personal property tax, approx
mately S3S, 100000.
Tire conference ended up with spir-
ited session this afternoon, when repre-
sentatives Of several corporations in.
dignantlv resented the Instructions OF
President Martin SAKE Of the State Tax
Commission that corporations are tax
dodgers. In spite Of a iive-mlnute gag
rnle' which was suddenly put into et-
fect' they declared, amid applause, that
The fault really was with the law ltsef;
THE law. they said, Disseminated
against the organizations they repre-
scented.
In ten-minute discussion on Senator
Mills's paper hearty approval was gwen
TO his committees recommendation for
n repeal of the present personal prop |
erty tax law and the substitution Of an !
income tax measure. IL was known,
however, that the legislative leaders
are opposed to an income tax measure
in . Presidential year.
