Madison, Wis. The Dahl general
income tax bill, lone remaining reve-
nue. measure in the Legislature, was
engrossed by the assembly today Ga to
IT, after the G. E. Hanson substitute,
amendment, endorsed by Governor
Blaine and Speaker john L. Dahl, had
been adopted.
The LaFollette progressive Repub
licans and Socialists had complete con-
troll of the lower house as they ad-
vanced the Dahl bill, defeating all pro-
posed amendments to the compromise
plan, estimated to produce S14,OO0,0OO
annually from incomes.
Five attempted amendments were
killed one after the other, with G. E.
Hanson, author of the compromise,
merely moving their rejection.
The substitute amendment which re-
placed the original Dahl income tax
bill before engrossment, called for
graduated tax on individual incomes
ranging from one per cent on the first
$1,000 of taxable income to ten per
cent on incomes over $4,000. A flat
BIO personal property tax offset is
allowed both individual and corpora
lions while the corporation rate ranges
from two per cent on the first $1,000
Of taxable income to seven per cent on
Incomes over $4,000.
Instead of taxing dividends received
from corporations taxed under Wis
sonsin laws ON the same basis as in
come from other sources, the new bill
taxes one-half of such dividends.
Proceeds from the tax are to be
distributed 40 per cent to localities
and 60 per cen to the state.
Mill taxes for state purposes are re-
pealed the same as under all of the
proposed income tax bills offered at
The present session.
Before engrossment of the tax bill,
hve amendments were disposed Of by
large majorities. One amendment by
Assemblyman Liehe would have retain
I'd the present five-tenth mill tax for
common schools. 1t was killed So to
Is, An amendment by the Socialist
members to tax all stock dividends
lied Sc to 90. An amendment by AS
Iemblyman Frank Prescott to give a
100 personal property Offset met
leath 68 to IL. and two other proposed
minor changes likewise were killed.
After proposed amendments had been
rejected, indefinite postponement of
he bill was moved and killed Ga to IS.
It then was advanced GA to II.

ured by the large vote for engross-
hent, friends of the proposal say.
