annually for the first eight years and slightly larger thereafter. This tax, which varies from year to year, never produced as much as $2,000,000 until 1928, when its revenue was $3,056,000. The experts assumed that it would reach $3,900,000 in 1929, whereas the amount was only $2,729,738. The difference may be made up by revenue from other taxes in excess of the experts’ estimates.

He felt that the lack of data for persons who made no income tax returns and other factors made his figures for intangible property too low. If they were increased 15 per cent the result would

Under the Commission’s plan a person with an income of $1499 above the exemption will be subject to a tax of 11/2%, while if the taxable income is $1501 the tax rate on all is 21/2%. The tax of the former would be $22.49 and of the latter $37.53. Equally as important as questions of rates and exemptions

Thus instead of equalizing the plan may increase existing inequalities. The equalization plan owes its origin to the edu
