TWIRTY-SEVENTH YEAR THE INCOME TAX CONTEST. 1 AND INTERESTING DE- BATE IN THE HOUSE. Po Bemnarknble Argaments for ite Retenth fe Abelition—Commo: the Revennes— Representatives Lis te the People. Wasuinatox, June 2.—The House at 214 P. M. resnmed consideration of the bill to reduce interne! taxes, tho question being on the sections relating to the income tax. Mr. McCnany (Rep., Towa) opposed the abolition of the income tax, because that tax was the only mode by which «large portion of the wealth of the country was made to contribute to the national revenue. Mr, O'Neti1 (Rep., Penn.) declared for absolute fopeal, He was not for any modification of it, either ‘as to rate or amount of exemption. The Govein- mont had exhibited to the world its perfect ability to pay the national debt, and honce it was time to remove amront ODIOUS AND OBNOXIOUS TAX! filo belived that the country was ratiried to cancel the national dobt at the rate of $80,000,000 a year in- atond of $100,000,000 a year. « Mr Witson (Dem., Minn.) opposed the abolition of the income tax, ‘The pending bill propored a reduction of taxes by $94,000,000, but if the income tax were abolished, an attempt would be made to prevent the reduction of taxation on other mat- ‘ers, How could members go home and say that they hed abolished taxation on the rich and kept it upon the poor? The income tax was the fairest of All taxes, because it fell on the rich, not on the poor. Mr. Townsxxy (Rep., Penn.) declared that the Glamor for abolition wasn local and x fictitious one, gotten up in the interest of men of large fortune. It did not find any response a:nong the people, but was confined to comparatively few individuals, He fa- red the raising of the exemption to $2,000, so a8 to lieve wen of moderate means. He alsy favored the Feduction of the rate to 3 per cent Mr. Jupp (Rep., Ill.) offered amendments confin- tng the tax to Invested capital, and excluding profits ani incomes, Mr, Hint (Rep., Til.) favored abolition. If it was to be continued he Wanted the rate to be reduced to 8 por cont, and the exemption raised to $2,500, ¥r, KxLvoce (Rep., Conn.) characterized the in come tax as on odious and unpopnlar tax. It was imposed ats time of national necessity, and alter the war was over, A SOLEMN PLEDGE em Kiven to the country that It would be continued ntil 1970, and no Jor He would therefore op- its longer continuance, and ifit were not to be ‘Abolishod le would favor ‘a reduction of the rate, sand an increase of exemption. Mr. Ninack (Dem., Ind.) bad always favored making the invested cabital of the country pay ite fair contribution to the revenue, but he was not in favor of taxing incomes and profits. If the question Presented itself as. whole, whether the income tax ‘@hould be retained or struck ont altogether, he Would vote Lo strike it out altogether, It was an irritating and provoking tax, aod revenue enough could be collected without it. It was avery plausi- Die thing that the income tax affected rieb men only, Dut the fact Was that the income tox aMfected all the @usiness of the country and Hoally fell upon the Deople at large. ALE (Hep., Me.) moved to increase the ex- emption to $2,000, aud reminded the House that Ince 1806 the revenue had been reduced from $310, (000,000 to $ 160,000,000. Bo he wad in favor of re- ducing the “income tax by raising the exemption. ‘This would take out the mail professional men and clerks, und leave the tax to be paid by those wo Were above the reach of pinch or iJecessity. Mr. Wanp (Rep. N. Y,) had refrained from fering itherto with’ the recommendations of tie ‘Committeo on Ways and Me: Tt seemed to bin that the opposition to the tax sprang from a very SMALL SPRCIAL INTEREST. Special interests got hold of the newspapers, pur- fued members into the committee rooms, and to their homes, And special inte rests were very apt to be regarded in forgetininews of the interest of te great mastex of the If they abolisned the income tox, they abolished the only tax that reached sonal property, or that reached the income of the Holders. Mr, Mens (Rep., Pa.) advocated abolition, The adic sentiment in Philadelphia was unanimous for iw abolition, If tt could not be abolisied, he favored (he reduction of the rate and the increase Of the exception. In reply to the remark of his colleazue (Townsend) that this ery did not reach the country, he avid that the (armers did not pay an in- come tax. It was [aid by men living in the large cities, the city of Philadelphia paying more than Bevordl Staves put toot ser Mr. Finkrixncxa (Rep., Mo) moved to limit the @llowance ‘or house rent ‘to $300, and argued that Mt be in proportion to tie money exemp- tion. While he favored @ modification, he was op Posed to i+ total abolition. Mr. Woov (Dem., N. Y.) said that the people de mended a reduction of taxation, and it was for Con areas to determine whetuer the income tax w One of those that should be abolished, Quat it was unjust, UNEQUAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL, the Constitution requiring taxation to be collected §n proportion to population. ‘Ihe State of New York now paid thirty per cent. of the income tax, whit lation Was Only one-twelfth the entire country. Mr. Autison (Rep., lowa) was willing to extend the exemption to $90,000, and then retain the tax on. all incomes, whether ‘rom business, or from pro- erty, or from accumulated capital. Mr. Sancxnt (Rep., Cal.) remarked that there was not one chance in twenty that the lari bill would pass Congress this ression, and it wis doubtful be Sides whether that bill made afreduction. He be- Heved, theretore, that the pending bill was the only tunity men bers would have to rejeem their pease to reduce ta . He would therefore Vor the abolition of the income tax, and if it could Bot be abolished he would favor its reduction. .

Mr. Davie (itep,, N. ¥,) concluted his argument yesterday. He opposed th tax for ita injustice and inequality. It allowed exemptions to aceumu- latod wealth. It exempted seven-tenths of the ac. eutnulated wealth. The tax fell ius great degree on labor, struzgling for its position, The exemption of accumulated wealth in the one case imposed in ‘We olber cise nothing less than con Mr tcurxcx (Rep. 0.) asked Mr, Weant by cxvinption of uceumulnted wealth, Mr Davie exjlaiued that if a man had $30,000 of accomuisie! wealth invested in bonds wad ‘mort yielding him @ net revenue of five per cent Over aid shove his ordinary taxation, that was $1,505, and by tais low thac $1,500 was exempt, Mr. vircu (Rep., Ney.) argued. that the taxation Might sulely be redueed $90,000,000, and that no re ‘Guction ‘a be so popular or so fale as the aboli- not He believed arcu Wen of the incom tax Mr. Fansswourn (Rep, Dl) favored the continu ance of Lie nd the inerease of exemption to $2,000.

But he was specially in favor of imposing @ reasonable tax on the Londs of the Government, and he therefore offered an amend- ment imposing a tax of ten per cent. on the interest on the bonds, Mr. AsHLER offered an amendment requiring that legacies and successions, when not direct from the decedent to his wife or family, shall be accounted for as un income. Other amendmen were offered by Messrs, Lovennipes, CLEVELAND, AXTFLL, and others.
