Tariff Cuts and New Income Tax Under Proposal
A sweeping tariff plan reduces average duties on foodstuffs and farm products by about half and lowers wool and cotton clothing tariffs. Sugar tariffs are cut with a goal of eventual abolition in 1916. Meats, fish, dairy, flour, potatoes, coal, iron ore, lumber and many machinery classes see tariff elimination. Officials insist the changes will boost competition without surrendering markets to foreigners. The treasury will handle new income tax details for individuals, while corporations retain a 1 percent levy as part of the broader tax law. Special deputies and agents will organize collection.
