The Demo cratlc majority of the House ways and means committee reassembled for the final meeting before the tariff revision bill is laid before the Democratic cau cus Tuesday. . 1 ' With the points of difference shifted largely to free sugar and the details ot the Income tax plan, the committee devoted much of today's time to the Income tax. There Is pos sibility of a change in the provisional rate of one per cent on amounts above the exempted four thousand dollars per annum, running up to four per cent on one hundred thousand dollars or more annually. In connection with framing the new permanent feature of tbe government revenue system, consideration of tbe question of the flexibility of rates so as to meet emergencies In the gov eminent needs has evoked an issue over the constitutionality of any pro vision tbat would permit the president by proclamation or otherwise, to change any income tax rate. ' The Income tax plan will absorb much ot the administrative details ot the present corporation tax law and will be administered by the treasury department Internal revenue machin ery. " It Is figured that at least two-thirds of the income tax revenue can be col lected under the principle of collection at Us source. This Is largely based on the working of Great Britain's IawP which collected two hundred mil lion dollars from the income tax. V Upon his return to Salisbury from. Whitney, where he had been on busi ness for a week, Col. A. H. Boyden, former mayor of Salisbury, said he bad noticed several published refer ences to his visits to Washington. ' Col.
