REVENUE BILL WILL BRING
IN FOUR MILLION DOLLARS
Provisions of Measure Will Reach Far
lido the Life of the Average
Citizen.
Washington, May 29.—The new reve
nue legislation urged by President Wil
son will reach out into many hereto
fore untouched fields of taxation. This
was predicted today by leaders who
will have charge of the new bill despite
the general misunderstanding that the
levies are to fall almost exclusively
upon incomes, war profits and luxuries.
The word "luxuries” is to be regard
ed as an elastic term, it was stated.
But it will be made to cover many non
essentials and many articles which
have escaped taxation heretofore.
For instance among the miscellane
ous taxes which may be proposed will
be a small levy, perhaps a fraction of
a cent, upon a box of matches. Insig
nificant as this may seem, it indicates
how far into everyday life of the av
erage citizen the new taxes will extend.
Leaders expect the new bill will pro
duce an estimated yield of approxi
mately $4,000,000,000, if the Wishes of
the administration are carried out.
This would just about double the pres
ent federal tax levy and, leaving out of
consideration loans to the allies, it
would approximately put into effect the
plan of meeting all war expenses upon
the ratio of 40 per cent of taxes and
00 per cent of bonds.
In round numbers, the new revenue
will be levied in something like this
manner, according to Senators and rep
resentatives closely in touch with the
situation today:
War profits, $2,000,000,000.
Incomes, $1,000,000,000.
Luxuries, non-essentials, etc., $1,000,-
000,000.
These figures, of course, it was
pointed out, may fluctuate a few odd
millions one way or the other and will
be subject to many changes on the tor
tuous journey through the various par
liamentary stages to its final enact
ment.
