That - why Va want to put the IN
come taxes high enough to set them"
In response to another question. Mr..
Kitchin said he was unable to give the
number OF Americans enjoying .in-
comes over $1.000.00o, but that the
number of incomes Of $4,000 and UP
which increased 1917 over 1916 was
very much greater than the number
between $4,000 and $1,000 which show
any increase.
The rates in the bill will take
s647.o 600 from an income of 81. 600, 900
and leave ss53,ooo. A person with a
100000 income will have about
$1,500.000 left. Explaining this fea-
ture OF the bill. Mr.. kitchin said it
was thought inadvisable to impose
higher rates on the larger incomes
for the following reasons:
First. men of such large incomes
do not expend them on living ex-
penses. They use them in expanding
their business.
Second. IL the taxes are too high
men having these large incomes win
invest them in tax-free bonds and
thereby escape taxation altogether.
Third, they would dump their secu-
rites on the. market If the taxes were
made oppressive and thereby UNI
stabilize the market
Mr.. Kitchin explained at length the
committees action in deciding that
the president. supreme court justices
and other federal and state officials
should pay income tax. He said that
although the constitution prohibits
any dimunition of the salaries of these
officials during their term of Office, a
majority of the members of the com
mittee believed an income tax would
not be diminution. He said:
IF it is not unconstitutional, l be-
lieve a majority of congress will be-
lieve with me that no man, whether
he be the president OF the United
states or judge OF the supreme
court. should be exempt from paying
his share toward carrying on the war -
This statement was literally ap-
plauded. Mr.. Hardy. of Texas, sug-
gested that every judge in the land
would be disqualified from passing
upon the constitutionality of the tax
by reason of his personal interest.
