KEEP THEIR HEADS STEADY
Australian Statesman Asserts Women
Prevent Conditions of Political
Turbulence.
Tlio prime- minister of Australia,
wlicro the women have suffrago on
equnl terms with men, was Interview
ed while on a visit to London on the
results of womnn suffrage In bis coun
try. He Is quoted as Baying:
"Women's suffrage steadies political
feeling. In democratic countries tur
bulence Is always a danger. Well, In
a time of political excitement men
will let themselves Ioobo. Women
won't. They don't want hysterics.
They don't want eartluiuakos. They
aro the domestic economists, Htid they
have to calculate the needs of their
households pretty closely ovory week,
This Is why economic questions are
more careiully studied now and why
you get steadier, more sober, more
wholesome opinion on nil questions
connected with the homo."
I'osslbly no stronger conclusion can
be deduced from the eleven years' ex
perience of woman suffrage In Aus
tralia than the fact that its national
parliament, by unanimous vote, adopt
ed a resolution declaring Its entire
success and calling upon the parlia
ment of Great llrltaln to enfranchise
women. New York livening Post

NEW TARIFF LAW
WILL MAKE MANY
RATE REDUCTIONS
Synopsis of Measure on
Which Special Session
of Congress Has
Been Working.
MARKED CHANGES IN
THE AVERAGE DUTIES
Democrats Confident That tha Coun
try Will Be Benefited by the Alter
ations, and That Business Will Re
main Unaffected Ad Valorem
Rata In the Bill la From 27 to 29
Per Cent, In Payne-Aldrloh BUI
They Are 40.12 Per Cent
Washington. The Democratic- tariff
revision bill, first on tba program of
reforms mapped out when President
Wilson came Into office, advanced to
its last congressional stage when It
was brought back to the bouse from
the Joint conference committee with
the unanimous Indorsement of the
Democratic conferees.
The measure, of course, has both Its
friends and enemies. According to
the administration, It carries out
tour of the party promises. Tariff re
form, reduction In the high cost of
living, campaign against the trusts, In
that duties have been taken off ot
many trust mado article, and the In
come tax.
The measure, consequently, has a
larger Importance than that of a mere
tariff reform bill, and lta effect must
be widespread, both on business and
Industry, and also In connection with
politics. Democratic leaders are con
fident that business will Buffer no un
toward effect; that consumers will be
benefited.
Changes In the Rates.
The bill Imposes an averago ad
valorem rato ot from 27 to 29 per
cont. The average for the present
Aldrlch law Is 40.12 per cent. Tho
average for the Wilson-Gorman act
was 39.45 per cent.
Duties generally have been reduced
on all of tho articles that enter Into
tho necosBarles ot life, Including the
products of tho farm as well as manu
factured products,
Trust made products In many cases
havo been transferred to tho free list
or the dutlos at present Imposed have
been substantially reduced.
Tho Incomo tax featuro of tho bill is
expected to net some 83,000,000. It
will call for a tax on net incomes ot
unmarried persons ot $3,000 and up
wards and on net Incomes ot married
persons living togeth'or, whero tho
vfe or husband Is dependent, of $4,
000 and upwards.
Exports' estimates Indicate a sur
plus of 110,000,000 over all expend
itures at the end ot tbo present Uscul
year.
A rate of 40 per cent Is Imposed
on btockhigs and half uoso valued at
not more than 70 cents a dozen poire.
For stockings between 70 and $1.20
a dozen pairs a duty of 40 por cent,
was ugreetl upon.
Tho conforces eliminated tho provi
sion liiHcrtcd by tho sonato denying
entry Into tho American market of
goods manufactured by children undor
14 years of ago.
Tho llnal agreement provided that
any person employed to collect the In
como tax may be utilized by the sec
retary of the treasury In tho general
servlco of tho Internal revenue bureau.
Larger Customa Revenues.
"The customs revenues will be larg
er for tbo current year, 1914," Sena
tor Simmons said, "because tho rates
of the Payno-Aldrlch law have been
for the force quarter, and will con
tlnuo in force on wool and woolen
goods until January 1, and on sugar
until March 1. When tho next fiscal
year begins, July 1, 1914, all tho rates
of the new law will bo In operation
and the tariff dutlos collected will be
smallor.
Tbo Income tax which Is collected
for the calendar year can be collect
ed for only ten months of the present
year, as the law specified that collec
tion shall not go back of March 1,
1913. The estimated decrease In the
total expenditures of the government
for 1914, $5,000,000, Is based on the
fact that smaller expenditures are
expected for the army and navy esti
mate!." The balance of the total estimates,
as given in the treasury estimates, Is
made up of postal receipts, Internal
revenue receipts, the profits from pub
Ho land sales, and other sources of
federal Income.
Agricultural Products and Provisions.
Cattle, sheep and other domestic an
lmals suitable for use as food, wheat
and wheat products and eggs, have
boon transferred to the free list Re
ductions have been mado on oats, but
ter, beets, frozen eggs, peas, green
bouse stock, zante currants, choco
late and cocoa sweotened and extracts
of meats from the rates provided by
the house. The rates have been In
creased over those provided by the
house on broken rice, fish packed In
oil and ground spices. A rato of 20
per cent, ad valorem Is placed on
ground spices In addition to tho spe
cific rate provided by tho house on
unground. Tho senato receded from
tho reduced rato placed on flaxseed
and Its amendmont placing a duty on
bananas. The house classification on
lemons and other citrus fruits Is ac
cepted. Papers and Books,
The house rates have boen reduced
on common paper, box, boards, papers
partly covered with metal leaf or
gelatine and plain bnslo papers for
albumenlzlng for photographlo print
ing. The rates provided by tho house
for surface-coated papers sultablo for
covering boxes bus bcou Increased
from 35 to 40 per cent. The ucnato
amendments placing specific ratns
graduated according to thickness and
size have been agreed to with several
reductions In tho rates provided. The
rateH agreed to are approximately
equivalent to tho ad valorem rates
provided In tho houso bill. A specific
rato has been placed on lithographic
views, of scenes and buildings lo
cated In the United States Instead ot
the advalorem rate provided by tho
house. This amendment results la an
Increase in tho rate ot duty.
Cotton Manufactures.
The senate classification of cotton
oloth, according to tbo average num-
ber of tho ynrns oontnlnod therein,
was accepted, Instead of tho house
prorlston for tho hlghost number. This
slightly docroasos the rato of somo
fancy weaves nnd novolty cloth, but
on tho greater bulk of cotton cloth tho
rato 1b not uffectod. Tho rates on
bleached and dyed colored yarns aro
Increased nnd on cotton ynrns and
cloth mado of yam, from numbers 79
to 99. Tho rntvs on handkerchiefs or
mufflers, not hemmed, have boon do
ducod from 30 per runt., as provided
by tho house, to 26 pur cent.

Washington. According to esti
mates completed by tho treasury ex
perts, fjr.,000 American citizens must
keep such accurate account of their
Incomes this year that they will ho
able to report to tho Income tax col
lector next spring exactly how much
they owo tlm government under tho
new Income tax law.
So fur as tho taxable American Is
concerned, the Income tax law Is now
practically In force against him. While
tho tariff law In which tho law Is em
bodied will not ho signed until next
week, tho HrHt returns do not have to
bo made to tho Internal ruvemm col
lectors before. March 1, 191 1. Hut when
tho returns aro mndo they will cov
er tho Incomo of citizens from March
1, 1913, to December 111, and tho first
payment of tax will bn for money re
ceived during this period.
Every single person (citizen or for
eign resident) whoso annual Incomo
exceeds $3,000, and every married per
son with an Incomo nbovo $4,000, Is
expected to report his or her re
ceipts In detail to tho government
agents March 1 of each yenr.
To Produce $82,000,000.
Tho cHtlmnto complbted Indicates
that the Incomo tax will prnduco $82,
98,000 from the 425,000 persons taxed.
To this will bo added tho $35,000,000
or moro producod by tha present cor
poration tax, which Is continued as
part of tbo law.
President Wilson, tho federal Judges
of tho Supremo court now holding of
Ilco and employes "of a state or any
political subdivision thoreof," aro tho
only persons specifically exempted
from tbo tax by the now law. Tho
president and judges now In office
were mado exempt to escapo any ques
tions ot tho constitutionality ot tho
law, and their successors in office will
be compelled to pay tbo tax.
First Burden Is on Citizen.
The general public Is expected to
giva close study to the now law In
tho next few months, as the first bur
don ot the tax payment rests with tho
individual citizen, and IiIb failure to
report his Incomo is punishable by a
lino.
It is admitted that when first re
turns are mado many taxable persons
probably will escape payments, but
with each year tbo government's lists
ot persons with tnxablo Incomes will
be made moro nearly complete.
Methods of Collecting Tax.
Two primary methods of collecting
the tax aro contained In the law. One
is that the individual return mado by
tho citizen; tho other the returns by
corporations and other employers who
pay their employes' taxes "at the
source." Under tho law as it will be
signed by President Wilson next week,
every large company employing labor
will be compelled to report any regu
lar salaries it pays in excess of the
$3,000 figures, and will pay the taxes
for Its employes and deduct tho tax
from their pay envelopes.
This "payment at the source" will
apply to salaries, rents, interests, roy
alties, partnership profits and some
other sources of Income, and persons
receiving such Incomes must be pre
pared to show that the money bas
paid its tax at its source.
In figuring up his net Incomo for
the taxpayer, the American business
man, after deducting $8,000 for him
self, or $4,000, It married, will havo
tho right to claim tho following addi
tional exemptions:
Necessary expense of carrying on
business, not Including personal, living
or family expenses.
Interest paid out of Indebtedness.
National, state, county, school or
municipal taxes paid within tho year.
Trade louses, or storm or fire
losses, not covered by Insurance
Worthless debts charged oft during
tho year.
A reasonable allowance for tho de
preciation of property.
Dividends from companies whose In
comes hnvo already been taxed.

It Is a clear provision of tho law,
however, that the taxable person must
mnko a return to tho Internal revenue
collector for his ontlro "not Incomo,"
and exemptions claimed under tho law
must bo submitted to the fedora! ofll
cers for them to determine upon their
reasonableness or legality
Tho amount of tho incomo tax, as
finally agreed upon, follows.
From $3,000 to $20,000, I per contj ,
from $20,000 to $50,000, 3 per emit:
from $50,000 to $75,000, 3 por centj

$100,000 to $250,001), 0 par cont; $260.
000 to $500,000, 0 por ceut; above
$500,000. 7 per cent.
A hIiirIo man with an Incomo or
$25,000, for oxumpln, would pay 1 per
cent on $17,000 and 2 por cent on $500,
a total tax of $270. If married, tho
first tax of 1 per cent, would apply to
only $K'i,000 ot tho Income.
Ready to Answer Questions.
The treasury department Is prepar
ing for a flood of questions about the
new Incomo tax, realizing that this
feature of tho tarllT hill about to be
come law strikes moro Intluiatoly at
tho tax paying citizen than do the
Indirect taxes collected through the
ctihtouiH duties
ItcptcHcutntlvn Cordell Hull of Ten
nessee, who drew tlm incomo tax pro
vision of tho tariff hill which will soon
become law, mado public a detailed
explanation of tho tax plan as It will
touch tho Individual citizen.
"Tho treasury regulations soon to
ho prepared will mnko clear to evory
taxpayer tho requirements of tho law
and Its application to Incomo derived
from tho various kinds of business,"
Mr. Hull said. "Any person who keeps
familiar with his buslnoHS affairs, dur
ing tho year should havo no difficulty
In executing his tax return.
How Tax Is Divided.
"Tho Incomo tax Is divided Into two
phages, O10 'normal' tax of one por
cent, on tho whole Incomo above
$3,000, and the additional tax Hint be
gins with an extra 0110 per cont. above
$20,000 and Is graduated to six per
cent, nbovo $500,000. Whorovor the
Incomo tax Is paid 'at tha sourco' by a
corporation far Its employes or In simi
lar cubcb, only tho ono por cent, nor
mnl tax Is so paid.
"Tho Individual has to pay any a
dlttonnl tax himself. Tho provisions
of tho law requiring the tnx to be
withheld at tha source does not take
effect until November 1, 1913.
"For tho first year tho citizen wilt
mnko return to the local Internal reve
nuo collector boforo March 1, 1914,
as to bis earnings from March 1, 1918,
to tho end of this year. The collector
will notify him June 1 how much
hn owes nnd the tax must bo paid
by June 30. After next year the tax
will apply on the full calendar yoar.
"If the Incomo of a person Is under
$8,000, or If the tax upon samo is
withheld for payment at the source,
or if tho same Is to bo paid elsewhere
in the United States, affidavit may be
made to such fact and tboreupon no
return will be roqulred. '
Covers Incomes of All Citizens.
"Tho tax covers all Incomes of citi
zens of tbo United States, whether liv
ing here or abroad; thoso of foreign
ers living In the United States, and
the not Incomes from property owned
or business carried on in the United
States by persons living abroad.
'Tho net Income Includes all In
come from salaries or any compensa
tion for pcrsonnl services; Incomes
from trades, professions, business, or
commorce; from sales or dealings in
personal property or real estate; from
Interest, rent, dividends from securi
ties; for all business carried on for
gain. .
"Bequests will not be considered in
como, nor will life Insurance paid to
a beneficiary or returned to the In
sured person as a 'paid up' or 'sur
rendered policy be taxable. Interest
on such property will be included 'aa
Income, however.
"Tho amount that may be deducted
from a total Income Includes the coat
ot carrying on business, actual losses,
depreciation allowances, and tax ex
empt or tax paid money. Living ex
penses cannot be deducted, nor can
money spent for permanent Improve'
ments to property.
Forms to Be Ready Soon.
"Tho form that is to be filled out
by tbo taxpayer will be drawn up
soon by the commissioner ot internal
revenue. The taxpayer will have to
give bis gross revenue and then speci
fy and claim the deductions to which
bo feels entitled.
"Unless a man's income tax Is 'paid
at the source' he must hunt up a tax
blank, rill It out, and see that It finds
Its way to the proper federal official
In his district before March 1, 1914.
"Firms, corporations, and the Ilka
having tbo handling of interest rents,
salarlos, or other portions of tho in
como of any citizen aro compelled to
deduct tho tax for tho individual and
pay It to tho government. The Indi
vidual then will receive a receipt
showing ho has paid bis tax."
