NOT TRYING TO DODGE. Latimer Willing to Pay Income Tax If Its the Law. The State. Washington, Dec. 11.-Senator Lat imer says that he has not in any way endeavored to dodge paying his ill come tax. When today lie was shown bi the editorial in The State of last Sat- C urday, in which he and Senator Till man were criticised for not paying this tax, lie said: CI "I don't care to enter any news- b paper controversy about this, but I a' have scn several allusions to it, and I think those who have criticised me C might have looked into the facts be- a 01 fore doing it. I made my returns in k full to the auditor of Anderson coun ty, returning all the property I have. I did not return my income from my salary as senator, but I took the pains when I made my returns to write a let(er to the auditor stating that from conversatiois held witi Senator Till man and others, who I thioiglt ouiht to kniow, I was under the impression that. the salary I was drawing from the United States government was not subject to Ile income tax, expecting that. if lie or the otiier officers of the comty or tlie State should be a conl trIry.V opinlionl I woIlli he nlotified, whien or Course he tax on tle income would be paid. 'lefore leaving home I instructed Mr. Horton of Belton, who attends to such matters for me, to pay all my taxes. Ie would also pay the income tax if it were considered subject to taxation, or he would wire me about it. Of course, if this income is not -subject to taxation I am not going to pay it, as all of us pay only those taxes we are expected to pay. I do not, (hink it is my especial job to say whether my salary is or is not sub ject to taxation. But. I have made no effort to dodge it. By the letter I wrote to the comty auditor, I placed the mater up to those who have the tax lisiless in hand.' Senator Tillmont not being in Wash ington could not be asked concerniig the matter.
