LEGALITY Is QUESTIONED
Special Despatch TO Tar suS.

WASHINGTON. Aug. THE Ways and
Means Committee apparently went out
Of its way to-day to devise new and
radical taxation schemes. and finally
adopted tentatively a tax which the ma
jority believes to be unconstitutional
This was an income tax on the salaries
Of all State, county and municipal OFF,
GERS. upon the income from State. county
and municipal bonds and also upon the
salaries of the President and all Judges
including the Justices Of the Supreme
Court, exempted by present law
Other decisions OF tie committee
we're:
To repeal the general exemption OF
life insurance policies and apply the tax
TO portions OF all insurance policies paid
above $4,000. Policies OF $4,000 and
less will not be taxed.
To permit income tax payments to be
made in three instruments. one-third at
the time return Is made. one-third within
three months and the remainder within
six months Of making the return. with
discount of 1 10 per cent. for full pay
ment al the time the return Is made.
want omcers Exempted.
Several members of the committee. led
by Representative Fordney tMich)
urged that the pay OF army anI navy
officers be exempt. but no decision Was
reached.
In imposing the full income tax on the
Presidents salary the committee believes
that 1t is within its powers. The result
would be that instead Of the $4,000 in
come tax which tie President has had
to pay he will be taxed more than s24,-
900 year out OF his salary OF $4,000.
Doubt exists Of the right OF Congress
10 impose tax on the salaries of Judges
The only pertinent decision known to
most OF the committee was rendered in
1869 by Attorney General Hoar. He
ruled that such a tax would not be legal
as 1t would be diminution of their
salaries while they held office. which Is
forbidden by tie Constitution.
Committee Disputes Ruling.
The committee does not agree that
tax should be construed as diminishing
the salary OF a Judge, but that he should
pay an equal share with all other citl-
Gems.
Other members of the committee ex-
planned that the fundamental objection
to the imposition of a Federal income
tax on the salaries Of State officials and
on the income from State securities goes
back to tie fundamental principle of dual
Government on which the United States
Is founded. 1t has long been an ac-
cepted principle, they pointed out that
States could not tax Federal incomes or
incomes on Federal bonds. and that the
Federal Government could not in turn
impose such taxes on States. Otherwise
1t would be possible for the branches OF
the Government working at cross pur-
poses to destroy each other.

CHICAGO Aug. William c. Nc
Adoo, Secretary of the Treasury, to-
night declared himself unreservedly In
favor of fiat war profits tax Of 80 per

The adoption Of an so per cent. war

In presenting his views on tax meas
ures now before Crongress Secretary
McAdoo addressed the following tele-
gram to Chairman Kitchin OF the Ways
and Means Committee of the House OF
Representatives:

preciate assurance you gave him OF your
desire to meet as far as possible the

sorry to have progress on the revenue
bill delayed for conference concerning

gest. This is a matter which has en-
gagged my earnest thought. and in order
that you may know my views without
delay take the liberty of telegraphing
to confirm and reendorse the programme
outlined in my letter to you of June 8.
and to express the conviction that that
programme Is sound and reasonable. l
earnestly hope that II may commend it
self to you and the committee ! regard
the war profits tax as an integral and
Indispensable part OF that programme.
