CHANGE IN TAX
LEVYlNC OVER
STATE PLANNED
Important Feature of Non
party Program is Bill Pro-
viding For Income Tax

Bismarck, N. D.. Jan. 1.-THE
Nonpartisan leagues tax program
calls for a number of sweeping
changes in the methods of levying
North Dakota taxes. One of the most
important departures is a bill provid-
ing for a state income tax law.
The measure provides for a sliding
scale. beginning with $1,000, on
earned and unearned incomes. While
not definitely determined, it is be-
lieved that the tax on the $1,000 in
come will be one-quarter of n per
cent The rate progresses up to 10
per cent on incomes Of $4,000 and
over. The progressive tax applies on
ly to the income Of persons, there be-
ing a fiat three per cent levied on all
corporations, the reason being, Of
course, that the property of corpora
tons already is taxed. On railroads,
the tax would be on the states share
Of the net income, apportioned on a
mileage basis.
A provision is made for the pay
ment Of the tax at the source. For
instance, a tax on bonds and stocks,
would be held out by the hank hand
ling it. The tax on a man salary al
oO WIZ NC AAOAu oNS Wy ~ AkuA PAYNE
it. This provision is very similar to
the in the Wisconsin law.
There are no exemptions on un-
earned incomes.
This tax is to take the place OF the
personal property tax, but does not
abolish it, as M car pay ones in.
come tax with personal properly tax
receipts. For instance, If ones per-
sonal property tax is $500 and ones
income tax $40, one simply would
present the receipt for $500 for per-
sonal property tax and pay SIS. If
the personal property tax is greater
than the income tax, no income tax
will be paid.
The tax does not apply to land, that
being taxed the same as at present. b.
The bill also creates a supervisor Of
income taxes for each county. He al
SO will have supervision of all assess
ments in the county. His salary is
not to exceed $500. This tax super
visor is to be appointed by the tax
commission. The tax will be collect
ed through the treasurer and appor-
toned IN the assessed valuation.
