SEEKING BIC TAX
FOR EXPATRIATES
Senator .kenyon's Bill Fixes Rate at
Three to Twenty-Eight Per
Cent on Incomes.

Washington, D. c., Jan. ga meas
ure proposing high graduated tax
on the incomes Of American expa-
triates, derived from their American
properties, was introduced in the SEN
ate yesterday by Senator Kenyon of
Iowa.
The Kenyon bill would place an an
nual tax of practically 80 per cent on
the incomes of the weather. expatri-
ates. Also 1t would make the bowers
give to American girls who marry
titled foreigners a source of consider
able revenue TO the United States gov
eminent
With the steady augmentation OF
American fortunes abroad as result
OF the expatriatiOn of thousands OF
rich Americans, chiefly heiresSes, the
movement in favor of imposing heavy
taxes on incomes thus derived from
the United States has gained much
strength in congress.
Advocates of the measure point out
that millions of dollars of income
from American investments are being
heavily taxed for the support of the
governments of the adopted countries
of the American expatriates and at
this time for the financing of the
European war.
At the present time no distinction
is drawn In the income tax law be-
tween the incomes of Americans who
do business in the United States and
of foreigners who do business in the
United States and Of foreigners who
have interests here, or between Amer
leans and expatriated Americans.
Senator Kenyon believes such a dis
tinction should be drawn now. He has
canvassed the senate and he said yes
terday he believed a majority of the
senators would favor the enactment Of
his bill into law.
Under its provisions a normal tax
of 3 per cent instead of the existing
per cent tax on American incomes
would be levied on the incomes under
$35, 900 of all expatriates and foreign
ers derived from their investments in
= the United States. In addition a
supertax would be levied as follows:
