A bill to impose a progressively increasing i tax ou iucomcs above $10,000 would be passed by an overwhelming majority if prescutcd iu this Ilousc. How mucli revenue it would yield is problematical. That would depend somewhat upon tho extent to which consciences have become more alert since the war time income tax was abolished. That sometimes produced revenue, and sometimes perjury.
