Income Tax Fixed.

The income tax assessed in Wiscon-
sin this year will reach about $1,000
600.
This Is the opinion of Nils P. Haul
gen, chairman of the state tax COM
mission, who has been examining data
for the present assessment.
This would be an increase of over
$1,500000 over the tax last year.
Taxes on individuals will be larger
than previously. Because of the fact
that Wisconsin allows personal prop
erty as an offset it is probable that
only about one-haIf Of this amount
will be collected in actual cash.
For last year the assessment aggre-
gated 1914, 393.51. Of this, $3,743,-
1901 was assessed against corpora
tons and S1,6O1, 213 against individu-
ais.
The tax assessed last year was the
record tax since the law went into eff
feet. In 1912 the total income tax
amounted to 1882, 1866; in 1913 to
$4,O84 497 40; in 1916 the assessment
was SAILS, 676.4S, and for 1915, which
was considered poor, the assessment
was Sc. S37, 370.04.
