MAKING THE INCOME TAX EQUITABLE

percepble levels according to the amount OF taxable
income The formula for such progressive tax which
is intended to comprehend both the/ normal and the
surtaxes and to suppant the same by a uniform in
come tax may be stated thus: The income shall be
computed in any case by taking mills in the taxable
income as base and the square OF this base shall DC
the tax in such Upon this formula there VIII DC

formula The per cent tax level is reached at $4,000.

$2sooo the per level at $Soooo the 80 per cent
lever at $7sooo the per cent level at 100000 ana
the so per level at $I2sooo In order not to be-
gin the imposition OF the income taxes abruptly at
$roooo which is at the per cent level, the formula
gives a per cent tax on incomes OF $4,000, a per
cent tax on incomes of $2soo and tax Of per cent
on incomes of 81 ooo making efectual though not
formal exemption of the incomes below $25oo An in
of $2,soo would pay $2s tax, which would be
the real beginning Of the system. 1t is possible to hx
any maximum which may be desired. In case should
the maximum be over 50 per cent 1t may be fixed at
40 per cent which the level for $Iooooo at 30
per cent which is the level for $7sooo or at 10 per
cent which is the level for $4,000 Whatever is done
there should be no exemptions of income from any
source except those exceptions which imposed by
constructions of the Constitution and cannot be avoided
The conversion Of land into cash ought not to be re-
garded as income any more than the withdrawal OF
money from savings bank and the same is true gen.
orally Of the conversion OF capital assets Considerable
complication can be avoided here.

that the highest rate imposed is cent against

the yield would be greatly increased. If II were
red to 40 per cent at the 100000 level the aggregate

these computations The exemption, however, of in
come derived as dividends on the shares of taxable
corporations, provided in the pending bill and the
present law, is restricted to the normal tax the

exemptions Inasmuch as the plan of progression pro-
posed normally results in low on income under
