GENERAL REVISION NATIONAL TAXATION
The President Is 8ounding Congress-
men pn The Subject Of A General
Revision Of National Taxation.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 13.—Within
. a few days, It has been borne upon the
minds of members of Congress that
President Rossevelt has in contem

national system of taxation. In dis
cussions of the subject with members
of both the Senate and the House, he
has impressed upon them the idea that
he hopes for a consideration of the
tariff, the inheritance tax and the tax
on Incomes.
