Congress debates a broad reform of internal revenue. Proposals tax whisky and tobacco more, stamps, licenses, and a modified income tax. A plan to tax interest on the national debt at five percent would raise funds with no collection costs. A single administration would cut administration and raise about 55 to 60 million yearly. A reader recalls a dyspepsia cure ad offering whiskey as an answer.
