THE INCOME TAX SCHEME l8 a Canse 0f Dissension Anion? the Members of the Sub-Committees. Associated Press. Washington, Nov. 21. The . demo cratlc members of the ways and means committee are experiencing much dlfri- cul'y In their endeavors to complete the new tariff bill and have It ready for submission to their republican col leagues at the meeting of the full com mittee on Monday next. The details of the Internal revenue schedule and the Income tax provisions are yet In complete and somewhat Indefinite. In deed, a strong influence has been brought to bear within the last forty- eight hours to induce the committee to abandon altogether the Income tax pro visions, but the position of McMillan, Bryan, Whiting, and others has been so resolute in favor of this policy, that it appears Impossible for the committee to abandon the income tax fully with out hopelessly dividing the democratic party. It seems probable, however, Miat the Income tax provision will not be of such a sweeping character as was at first contemplated. The pres ent plans are to impose a tax on lega cies, on incomes of large corporations, on Incomes of real estate, and other property In the country owned or con trolled by aliens, as well as to require the stamping of certain documents and the Imposition of a special license on certain classes i t business. , The sub committee on internal revenue Is sUll at work and will probably conclude its labors some time tomorrow night. No changes of importance are contemplated In the Internal revenue tax on tobacco or beer, though It is probable there wll be a slight increase of the whisky ta:r. REPUDIATED BY GKESIIAM.
