INCOME TAX LIMIT MAY ByUJ $3,500 Plans By Democrats in Their Scheme For Tariff Revision.

(National News Association) WASHINGTON, March 28. An income tax law which will rache every person who makes more than $3,500 anually is now in prospect under the Democratic scheme of tariff revision. There has been a sort of general understanding heretofore that the fellow who made less than $5,000 would be exempt, but the Government probably will need the revenues, and Indications today are tht the exemption will be put as low as $3,500. Such a law would prove a jolt to all the "assistant secretaries" in the variJew bureau chiefs and Government clerks, and to the fellow on the street who has been proud to boast in the past that his Income was "up In the thousands." Congressman Hull, the corporation and income tax expert of the Ways nd Means Committee, is off In a room all by himself today. He is porJng over a bunch of figures Bhowing the operation of the income tax in foreign countries and is endeavoring to fi nd an equitable rate which Congress pMj Impose upon the high-salaried iAmerican and the trust .magnate. While the actualcratestin the income tax bill will not be- fixed until a statement Is compiled showing the loss of revenues under the contemplated tariff revision, the outlook Is gloomy for the man who draws down more than $3,500 per. Furthermore, Mr. Hull's plan is that the incomes shall fee collected at their sousce, and there it no ovenue of escape. Before another year rolls round the Internal revenue collector will beabroad In the land levying tribute upon nearly everybody who looks prosperous. Hull Is Framing Bill. Loaded down with books and papers, Congressman Hull has gone Into comparative retirement. When he emerges lie will have under his arm what probably will be the income tax bill which the States recently declared to be constitutional, and which the Ways and Means Committee and Congress is expected to approve. Under the Democratic plan for the revision of the tariff, the income .tax will be. the lifeline for for the sinking Treasury. Cuts In the duties of every schedule ordinarily would leave the country's revenues in desperate straits. Now that an Income tax is constitutional, despite that flve-to-four decision of of the Supreme court against it a number of years ago, the task of Democratic tariff revision is much simplified. The duties may be slashed on sugar, lumber, steel, wool, cotton manufactures, machine tools, agricultural implements and farm tools and the income tax and Mr. Hull will rush to the rescue. The fellow with the good salary pays the freight, and the working man who drayse his weekly "wages" is expected to sit back for once in his life and wear a satisfied expression. The politicians claim that the working man has been indirectly taxed for many, many years. Here's an income tax bill which will levy direct tribute upon' the man who holds a "position" Instead of a "job." Expert Figuring Rate. The new Income tax will absorb the existing corporation tax law, which now produces nearly $30,000,000 annually in revenue. In the abscence of definite . figures by experts of the ways and Means committee as to the Inroads upon the Treasury which will be Inevitable under the Underwood tariff bill, it Is now estimated that the income tax must produce between $125,000,000 and $150,000,000 annually. The rate of tax will be fixed in accordance with the report of experts who are now figuring out the estimated revenues under the Underwood tariff bill. If it is shown necessary, the rate on so-called unearned incomes and dormant fortunes will be higher, the Democratic view being that the taxpayer drawing the more modest income should not pay the same rate as the coupon-clipping capitalist. Originally, Mr. Hull favored a 1 per cent tax on all the incomes above $5,000 which are designated as earned Nature's Own CATARRH REMEDY Balsamic Air that Heals Sore Membrane.

On unearned incomes, Mr. Hull suggested a Hi per cent tax, and a graduated higher rate on unusually large incomes from large real estate holdings and "swollen fortunes." Rider on Tariff Bill. As the exigencies of tariff revision, it now seems, will make necessary an income tax on salaries and receipts above the sum of $3,500 annually, assuming that the tax will be 1 per cent on earned incomes, the member of Congress, for Instance, who draws $7,oOO annually, will contribute $40 of that amount to the internal revenue collectors. When the Democrats attempted to enact a free sugar bill at the last cession it was proposed that the loss in revenue should be made good by an extension of corporation tax. This loss would have amounted to $600,000,000. The House is still standing pat on Its free sugar propaganda and the revision of practically every schedule in the Payne law will make deep inroads upon the revenues of the Government In addition to the free sugar losses. A conservative estimate is that the income tax, therefore, must produce considerably more than $100,000,000 in revenues if the , Treasury balance is to be maintained. The Ways and Means Committee plans to include the income tax as a rider upon the tariff bill. If a schedule revision Is undertaken and this is likely the income tax bill will be considered separately, but with reference nevertheless to the estimated amount of receipts and disbursements which will be chalked up during the period that the Underwood tariff bill is in effect.

DAYTON, O. (4:15 a. m.) This morning the water had gone down considerably but small fires were breaking out in various sections of the city. It is impossible to check the blazes, aagfchere is no fire protection. Police authorities, Red Cross people and volunteers from Dayton View' and nearby towns are doing all they can towards rescuing persons imprisoned in buildings in the flooded district. Morgues have been established in various sections and bodies were being taken to those places where attempts are being made to identify them. All night long grief stricken men, women and children crowded into these places searching for the bodies of friends and relatives.

except that the fire is still raging

and it looks as if there was no way to stop the progress of the flames until it burned itself out. The West Side is making ef

forts to establish telephone and telegraph connections with the East Side where most of the damage has been done. A strip four miles wide has been devasted by the water and it will be several days before the full extent of the damage is known. The Pal

ladium was in communication

but both of these cities have been unable to reach Hamilton by telephone or telegraph. All telephone communication from Dayton and the surrounding towns is again cut off and it is impossible to get further information until lines are repaired. The Richmond telephone exchanges have very few lines in operation and the condition of the roads has prevented the repair work from being carried on with much progress. The Bell Telephone company has. but two lines, one to Indi

anapolis and the other to Cincinnati. The Home Telenhone com

pany can reach Oxford, Decatur, and small towns in the vicinity of Richmond. The Western Union Telegraph company are swamped with telegrams from all over the United States sending messages to Richmond people asking for information about friends and relatives in Richmond and the flood stricken district. The hotels of the city are all crowded with people trying to get to Dayton and every train brings many anxious people in search for information.

A GIRL MURDERED Oil HERJI1RTHDAY Terrible Indianapolis Tragedy Committed By a Drunken Youth.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 28. On the fifteenth anniversary of her birthday Miss Frances Ter Doest, daughter of Mrs. Marguerite Ter Doest, 967 Dorman street, a stenographer in the office of the auditor of the Central Union Telephone Company, was shot last night by William Morrissey, 27 years old, a roomer at the house, and killed. No direct cause for the shooting can be found by the police further than Morrissey, who has been drinking heavily for several days, was suf. fering from some delustlon produced by the liquor. Morrissey was arrest ed charged with murder. He shot four times, two shots taking effect The couple were alone in a sitting room of the house and the girl's mother and sister Marguerite were in the kitchen washing the supper dishes. The mother and sister heard the shooting and ran to the room to find the girl lying on the floor. She was breathing her last and did not speak to her sister as she bent over her. According to Morrissey. who has lived with the family since he was 12 years old, the girl was standing near the stove singing. He said she turned to him and said: 'When I f nish this song I am going to tell you something." Morrissey said he pulled the revolver, and she said: 'Let it go," and he began firing. The police have been unable to learn whether the conversation really took place or whether it is imagined by Morrissey. When Morrissey saw the girl fall to the floor he ran from the house, went to a saloon in the neighborhood. bought a drink, went to the rear of the saloon to a shed and tried to reload the revolver. He said while in the shed he heard people discussing the shooting. He walked from the shed and turned the revolver over to Edward Schudder. 648 Porter street, and Harley F. McCallie, 1308 East Tenth street. McCallie was in the drug store when Bome one ran in and called for a physician. He learned what had happened and began looking for Mor-
