Mr. Marah said that during the war no patriot would want an Income of more than $50,000. “On the basin of 1916 income tax returns, if we take all incomes over $50,000, some 9,119 persons would pay $1880,000,000," he said, “A heavy taxop lower incomes would yield approxt- mately $1,800,000.000. taxes, therefore, at least $8,480,000,000 | can be secured “During 1916 the net taxable tn- | come of corporations in the country Wg" Nearly $8.700,000,000, at least half | of which should be taken, From these two sources, therefore, approx imately $8,000,000,000 can be secured since exces profits are much larger this year than in 1916, This is in addition to the $2,000,000,000 in re- ceipts from miscellaneous sources.” | Mr. Marvin said that in England the total revenue from import 4 in this year would reach $460,000,01 in the United States they would amount to only $168,000,000, or $1.68 per capita. “You are in favor of a tariff fo protection as well as for revenue, B.

TAXES FOR MONTH NOT ENOUGH TOPAY TWODAY WAR ILL Expenses $50,000,000 Daily and April Yield Was Only $93,700,000, WASHINGTON, June 1.—Govern- ment taxes gathered from a wide va- riety of sources every month are barely sufficient, if levies on incomes and excess profits are excluded, to pay war expenses for two days of the month. This was shown to-day by a detailed Treasury report of tax From income collections for April, giving the yleld | jot ordinary and war taxes for that month as $93,700,000. Government expenses now are tunning nearly $50,000,000 a day. Corporation income and excess profits taxes collected In April were $127,614,000 and individual income and excess profits receipts were $41,- 721,000, making a total of $1 000 from the rees, This represented See | |are you not? Moore of Pennsylvania, “Yes, sir,” he replied, “And you are not ashamed of your Position on that point?” “Not any more than d am ashamed | of the American flag or the American soldiers,” he said. Representative Rainey of Tlinois | sald that after (he war even a tariff like the Payne-Aldrich act would not provide sufficient revenues. “When the war is over we'll have an annual budget of $6,000,000,000, if we retire any bonds,” he said. Thea afternoon sessions of committee were executive. Helleving the Government will need $24,000,000,000 next year, Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo estimates $8,- | 000,000,000 must be raised by taxa- | tion, which would double the revenue from this source. He has embodied his ideas in @ letter to Chairman Kitchin of the Ways and Means Committge. He says the new revenue law for the next fiscal year should provide for this $8,000,000,000 tax, and also should provide for making the taxes on cor- porate investments high enough to bring them “more nearly on @ parity with the return from Government bonds; for taxing away the excessive profits on war contracts and making profiteering impossible; for lifting the rate on so-called unearned income ‘vom securities, &c., from 4 per cent. ) more than 12 per cent., while re- taining the 12 per cent. as the rate on earned incomes above the exemption figure, and for imposing heavy taxa- tion on all luxuries, FIVE ENEMY ALIENS TAKEN ON HOBOKEN WATERFRONT Drivers Arrested by Defense Society Agent to Be Arraigned Here.
