Washington April 22 —An Immediate
cut of $300000000 In the coat of Hying
—eventually a alath of half a billion

the Honae believe the Income - tax will
do for the American people The relief
promtaed by the Democratic party for
terrible preaanre of the costa of the ne-
cesalttea of life seems to be at hand 1
Only experience will reveal the full
benefit to the public of the Income tax

nual revenue to be derived from Income
taxation under the terms of the pending
bill will be from $S0 000000 to $100

the Ways and Means Committee has
taken cognizance of this probable reve-
nue and has lopped off duties on neces-
sities which -under the present Payne-

Some Land Description
When an Oklahoma Abstracter runs'
across a piece of land that zigzags
around and gets Into several fractions
of two or three sections he thinks he baa
some grief with his N W ooe-halfs and
his S E one-fourths but be should take
a spell of studying some of the land de
scrlptlons of Old Kalnluck If be wants
to appreciate life - and the ease of It
This week J P Grimes handed us a pa-
per "from his old home It) Falmouth

r Representative Cordell Hall of Tennes-
see the tnemberof" the Ways and Means
Committee who drew the Income tax
provision prophetically sees the day
when all government revenue will be de-
rived from just two principal forms of
direct taxatlop— tbe Income tax and tie
Inheritance tax '
“The rates la the pending bill are bnt
tentative’- he said “They can and will
be changed by succeeding congresses
“The measure Is designed to fit In with
the budget system of estlmatlnggovern-
meat expense The day will come when
government expenses will be Appro-
priated for in an annual budget bill On
the basis of this the amount of revenue
needed by the government for the sue
cecdlng year will be estimated In order
to raise just the revenue needed Con-
gress will set the Income tax to fit the
case There will h a few custom duties
There will be however- an Inheritance

has concentrated In this country Al-
though Incomes of as low as $4 000 per
