Democratic Leaders Plan to Ohange
Metitod of Raialog 8uAlctant
Revenue.
Washington, Jan. 14. ? The Dem
ocratic members of the wan and
moans committee, art working upon
a plan for the repeal of the war rev
enue law. which has been , upon the
statute books since October 32, 1914.
.Pro testa hare come to the committee
??on sgembera of Congrfi# in all
<eetlorle of the xxmVtrj *g?ln#t thV
rotlnuatlon of this law. Democrats
argue, that they cannot afford to go
before the country in the next cam
paign with this burden saddled upon
their fHciuldere with any *hope of
convincing the voters that Ach a
tax is'mrwonab'.e id view of the fart
that we are at prace with all the
world. ??
While the gastter ha* reached only '
the tentative stage, it li known that
most of the member* of tho^ ways
snd means eemmltt<-? favof'Mch a
eounm. pr^imbly lnclu^Jhg Chairman
KltchUfT^
In lieu of the' revenue that would
be lost if this measure is wtfed off
the books, it Is proposed to bicreaie
the rate of taxation upon Utiffee in
comes The emergency revenue law
produced In the neighborhood of
| $90,000,000 during the last fiscal
year, but it is estimated by msanberir
of the frays and means com&ittMi
that by increasing the tax upon in
comes, at least $100,000,000 addi
tional can be raised In this way.
which will more than offset any de
ficiency caused by the repeal of the
war revenue act.
It is not proposed by the eammlt
:ee to apply the law to Income* be
low $3,000. the Idea being that the
wealth of the country shslt talie care
of the addltlonar expenditures re
quired by the government, trhether
