NEW SOURCES OF TAXATION.

Washington. - Administration sug.
gestions as to possible new sources of
taxation through which to raise ap.
proximately one-half of the estimated
cost of the first year of the war, or
$,SO7 900, were submitted by Sec.
retary McAdoo. The other half of the
cost is to be provided by $4,000, 900 900
OF the bonds authorized by the war
revenue bill.
Outstanding in the suggestions are
greatly increased income and excess
profit tax rates, taxing OF many i'm
portant articles now admitted free,
and stamp. liquor. amusement, sugar,
coftee, tobacco, soft drinks, freight
and passenger transportation receipts
and automobile taxes.
Probably the most far.reaching pro.
posal concerns income taxes. The acc.
retary estimates that SO per cent In.
crease on both individuals and corpor.
atoms for 1916, collectable next June.
would yield sl65,OOO,OOo additional.
For 1917 he points out that to lower
income tax exemption from SO 900 to
$1,000 for unmarried persons. from a..
200 to $4,000 for married persons.
would produce $4,000, 900.
