SOLD BY ALL DRUGGISTa corporations and suce Democratic have now reached a definite conclusion on thie subject, and it can, members therefore, br announced the income will be narrowed down to the speci fe limits unless the recommenda tions of the committee are upset in the House and a general plan for a graduated tax on all incomes, private ag well as corporative, be adopted, The committee in its report will adopt an unique argument for re stricting the system to corporations instead of applying it to all indiyid uals. They will state the greatest money earning powers of the coun- try are the corporations, while the risk to individual stock-holders is less than the risk in any private bus iness. The corporations derive special advantages from legislation, one of which is that in the event of commercial disaster the stock hold ers are only liable to the extent of the full value of the stock subscril- ed, and that to offset these special advanteges they should bear a gener ous burden of the expenses of the government. The tax on corpora tions, therefore, will not be a gradu ated one, but will apply to all net earnings of whatever aggregate. This is an essential departure from the time honored theroy of an income tax, as most political econo mists haye favored the graduated system, imposing nothing on in incomes of less than $5,000 per an num, 2 per cent on the excess be tween $20,000 and $50,000 and 10 per cent on the excess above $50), 000,. In a system applying to indi viduals should be be adopted there is no doubt it would have been such a graduated plan as this, but since it is to apply to corporations and suc cessions only, it will be upon the net earnings of the corporations and | the gross amount of the succession or legacy. Successions and legacies in this connection, of course, apply | only to personalty and moneys. The Democrats of the committee have also decided to increase the rates on cigarettes and to impose a tax on playing cards, both of these points are definitely decided, the object on the one hand being to tax an article which can bear a heavy | burden without any individual fee!-| ing the weight of it. The internal revenue tax on whis ky is still an open question. The} committee maintains a siudious reticence on this subject, for fear of the manipulation of speculators on the stock exchange. | Barned to Death. j West Plains, Mo.

Kan., Nov. 29.—The public school scholars of this city were requested to bring something to day that might be used to furnish a thanksgiving to the poor of the city.
