Although Congress has shown a dis
inclination to take up revenue lcgis-
lation in the near future, as urged
by President Wilson, there will soon

arrival of the year 1920 lower schoI-

a specific proviso in the current law
passed by the last democratic con-
gress-that the heavy war taxes Of
1919. insofar as they relate to the
man Of moderate income, shall not
be applied in 1920. In consequence,
the income tax bill of probably sew
cnty-five per cent of federal tax pay
