There are in the State OF New York

say that if the exemption from income
tax was lowered TO say $500 and this
provisions of the law more vigorously
enforced a very large majority Of the
families in the State would be taxable.
AS the average income of the heads Of
families in this state Is estimated ct
about 1880 there would be thousands
OF men and women not now taxable
who would pay, and In addition many
moro thousands not heads of families
who would be taxable II the law was
