Brewers Protest Tax Changes Amid Tax Schedule Debate
The United States Brewers Association protested to the committee against raising internal revenue taxes on fermented liquors. The fate of the income tax and internal revenue schedules are tied, with implications for total revenue whether an income tax is adopted and how it affects liquor taxes. If an income tax yields substantial revenue, liquor tax increases may be small or unnecessary.

Democrats plan tariff revisions with income tax option
Washington reports the Ways and Means Committee aims to release the new tariff bill within ten days or two weeks. Proposals include free wool, reduced duties on woolen goods, tin plate, and other measures favoring cheaper manufactured goods. An income tax is expected to offset anticipated revenue deficits, with rates for incomes above 32 500 and allowances for rent and losses. The move could determine whiskey, beer, and tobacco taxation levels.

Proposed income tax plan gains support in Congress
Democrats on the ways and means committee expect a revenue of about fifty million dollars from a moderate income tax likely set at 2 percent. Exemptions would shield most laborers and small-salary earners, with a $3,500 to $4,000 limit under discussion. The plan avoids increases in beer, whiskey, tobacco, or cigars taxes, contemplates possible sugar duties, and hints at coal duties amid district protests.
