SACRAMENTO, Dec. 24.-A state
income tax will be the first new
source of revenue to which the 1885
California legislature will turn, in
the opinion of most members of
the senate and assembly.
A definite trend away from the
so-called poor man IS tax such as
the 21a per cent sales tax, and in
the direction of redistribution lev
les is evident in the poll of legisla-
tors made by the United Press.
Passage of an income tax law, it
is claimed, would provide balance
with the sales levy such as was
desired by legislators at the 1888
session.
Recent history of the state taxa
ton shows the sales and income
tax proposals to have been inter-
woven until the late Gov. James
Rolph, Jr., approved the sales tax
but vetoed the income tax measure.
This action was believed largely
responsible for the criticism aimed
at the sales levy.
The sales tax, however, has
proved to be a real life saver for
the state, bringing in $50,000,000 a
year, and legislators favor its re-
tention because it repeal would vir-
tually bankrupt state government.
Law Still Unpopular
Naturally this tax, still unpop-
ular, is going to be attacked and
there is little likelihood it will be
increased. The present law provides
an automatic reduction to 2 per
cent on July 1, 1885. A bill is be-
ing prepared to retain the 21a per
cent rate, and in view of the state IS
financial condition il has a good
