When the Income Tax Starts.
A Ti?gwy ImporTOT- question that
has been the ''subject of much dis
cus?ka^?i^?
that lie Sei??e "Ewr?ff bn? would be?
comes ?aw^relites to the itjpeme
tax imd ^e*$?te oto which it witt go
into effect. R:is tfce opinion of the
members-of &e Way? and Means
Committeethat this provision wjQ
become operative next January, and
the tax which will theo be levied will
be upon incomes earned since Jan..
1, 1894. This opinion is based upon
a literal interpretation of the terms of
the bill, which are as follows :
"Sec. 54. That from and after the
1st of January, eighteen hundred
and ninety-five, and until the first
day of January, nineteen hundred,
there shall be assessed, levied, col
* lected and paid annually upon the
gains, profits and income received in
the preceding calendar by every
' citizen of the United States, whether
residing at home or abroad, and every
per?ro^?^
said gai ns profits or income be levied
from ~aiH*f J?ad of property, rents,
interest, dividends or salaries, or
from any profession, trade employ?
ment ?r^ocit?ttv carried on in the
United States ^"elsewhere, or from
any other source whatever, a tax of 2
per centum on the amowit so derived
over and above four i thousand dol?
lars ; afcdT- a lfa* tax shaft be levied,
collected and paid annually upon the
gains- profit s and i acorn? from all
property owned* and of every busi?
ness, trade or profession carried on
in the United States by j>ersons re?
siding - without - ther United States.
And the tax herein provided for shall
be assessed, by the Commis*
sioner of internai Revenue and col?
lected and paid Qpo^tl^;%a^,^i^<
fits and income for the year ending
the thirty-first day of December next
proceeding the time for levying, col?
lecting and paying?aid tax.**
Wfi?t W??^iff?f?'^tt? p&y as In?
come Tax.
New York, Aug. 15 -If fci?iooaires
.ver pray, and the most bunible man
will admit that meo of wealth are some-,
times suppliant, it is to be presumed
that there are many silent petitions
being sent forth that President Cleve?
land will veto the tariff b?31 and thus
kill the provision for the levying of a? .
income tax. Although the two per
cent, tax provided for OB incomes of
more than ?4,000 wilt be a contribu?
tion of bot one dollar ont of fifty :o
Uncle Sam, UU^e^ally..belie ved that
in many mansions the wealthy-owners
look upon the tax as a great hardship.
It is estimated by Treasury experts
that the revenue derived from tbe in?
come tn mm^W^S^,^;^^ f??t:
Other estimates vary from ?25,000,
000 to $40,000,000. Of this New
York's men of wealth and others not
termed wealthy, bot who live comfor?
tably on more than ?4,000 a year, will
pay a large proportion.
The tax to be paid by some of the
leading millionaires of this city will ?o
many instances ron np in the thousands.
William Waldorf Astor will undoubtedly
lead the list. His incomes is estimated
at ?8,900,900 per year, and on this be
will have to pay a yearly tax of $178.
000. John D. Rockefeller, whose in?
come is estimated at $7,611.250, will
have to pay $152,225; the Goold
estate ?80,800, and poor and unhappy
Russell Sage aboot ?90,000. Corne?
lius Vanderbilt, with a o estimated in?
come of $4,048,000, will have lo con?
tribute a yearly tax of ?80,960, while
William K. Vanderbilt's contribution
to the national exchequer will be about
?75,000. John Jacob Astor will be
let off on a payment of ?60,000.
Other millionaires and their probable
income tax are Henry M. Flagler, ?50.
000; Frederick W. Vanderbilt, ?35,
000: Louis C. Tiffany, ?35,000;
Collis P. Huntington ?20,000; Wil?
liam Rockefeller, ?60.000; Moses
Taylor estate, ?50,000, Robert Goelet,
$25,000; Ogden Goelet, ?20,000.
There will be some fair hands, too,
that will cooont ont cash to the inter?
nal revenue collectors. It will cost
Mrs. Bradley-Martin, Mrs. Anson
Pbelpbs Stokes, Clementina Furniss
and Sophia R. Furnies about $10,000
each if the bill goes on the statute
books, and if Mrs. Hetty Green doesn't
succeed in dodging the collector it is
estimated that she will bave to part with
$40,000.
The feelings, of the millionaires who
are to be taxed, if Mr. Cleveland says
so, may be partially alleviated by the
fact that the net earnings of corporations
are to be taxed before being paid out
io dividends, so very few rich men will
be obliged to give over the entire
amount of their tax in a lump sum.
Like men who buy their cigars singly
instead of in a box, because it doesn't
seem to cost so much, they may thus be
kept from believing themselves on the
verge of bankruptcy when the tax col?
lector comes around jost before the 4th
of July.-Philadelphia Times.
A Georgia newspaper makes the
assertion that since the passage of the
tariff bili "all woollen goods will be
cheaper than ever before. A man will
be able to almost swap bis linen duster
for a good winter overcoat." So the
good times are coming.
Kentucky bees are finding a use j
for tte Mammoth Cave. They are
converting it into a great hive.
There are parts of it now through
which one must put on a diver's suit
or something of that sort to go with
impunity through the swarms that are
doiog business there.
A Great Work Accomplished.
