ON $5000 AND OVER Income Tax Rate Now Under Consideration by Dem- ocrats of Ways and Means Committee MINIMUM MAY BE LOWERED OR RATE RAISED Final Decision Will be Determined by the Probable Revenue From New Tariff Schedule—Loss of $50,000,000 on Free Sugar Will Have to be Met by Income Tax—Advo- cates of Free Wool Hopeful of Carrying Their Point.
