MUCH cA Income Tax Paying List Shows That Longshoremen, Truck ‘ Drivers, Hotel Waiters, and Chauffeurs Are Wealthy NEW YORK, (By Mail.)Plumbers who pay income taxes are no longer fihe “aristoerats of. labor,” according to William H. iwards, United States internal revenue collector for the Second und Third districts of New York, in whose districts this year more than $1,- 500,000 will be gathered up for Uncle High wages and profitable overtime, Eawards, have raised to the income stax paying list such workeny as longshor ad bra Mech e hauf. ck drivers and’ piano movers. ‘And don’t forget the chorus girls, the movie stars, and the hotel waiters,” declared the collector, adding some of the latter are making » than $5,000 a r in tips ‘alone. nd motormen reok instance, he said, have made 2 s $60 a week and, if their ye income exceeds $1000 for a single man or $2000 for the head of a family, they will be required to con- tribute their share toward the cost of running the government. Mr. Edwards cited a few instances without, of course, mentioning any names, of bootblacks, inilkwagon drivers and bellboys who in 1919 earned in excess of their exemp- tion and who will be required to file re-j turns. Payment of the income tax;began on nuary 1 and will continue until mid- t of March at which time all returns must be in to escape the possi-| bitity of a maximum of $1000 fine for delinquency. “While Collector Edwards was opening his mail the other day out fell a check for $2,883,515.39, represent- ing the payment of a corporation tax avith penalty and interest. The next letter he opened was from Montelair,4 N. J., which is also in his district. It had been registered to pay an income tax of $1.37. A recent caller at the collector's of- fice was a woman whose net income was 65 cents. Her tax amounted to four cents, She wanted to know if she would permitted to make the payment When told she could she smiled and id she guessed she would pay it all at once handed over her four shining pennies and took her receipt. Another pa ic ~~ eitizen—foreign- born—filed: a ul return showing that he had no income which was sub- ation. At the bottom of his the following notation: “No tax due but would like to pay some tax and enclose for $100." Collector Edwards said that, under jthe law, he was not permitted to ac- cept the check but mat he forwarded it to Commissioner Roper in Washing- | $U! z rap everal hundred representative wom- ton to dispose of as he saw fit. This y the income tax rate is less than jast. Mr. Edwards said, the normal rate being 4 per cent on the first $4000 of net income above the exemption and 8 per cent on the remaining net income. instead of 6 and 12 per cent as in 1918, “Off hand,” would hardly think that a longshore- man came within the requirements of the income tax law, Certainly he did not a few years ago when many of them found it hard to make a living. In the past year or two, however, many longshoremen have been making from $3000 to $5000 a year. “The income tax also hits some of the theatrical profession pretty hard. Some of these actors, including motion picture starg, perhaps make as high as $200 and $300 a week for six months in the years. They live well and by the time their income tax payment is due may be out of ‘an engagement. They are confronted with a good sized tax without any immediate means. It fs then up to them to get it. “Last year my investigators faind many diamond merchants have been doing business In this country for four or fi rs without paying taxes. We got after them and increased our re- ‘urns by more than, $1,000,000, - Some ot the; actresses who were delinguent 4 r kaid they did not nay because pe not figure out just how much they were exempt because of the cost of their gowns, taxicabs and other |~ Inxuries, A 50 per cent. penalty was imposed because of their failure to pay when the taxes were due. “Income t said the collector, “should be figured as @ lability just ms insurance, interest on a mortgage of your winter's coal bill. ‘Then when the time comes for payment it will not be a hardship. Nearly 20,000 persons Wore fined last year for failure to file returns. A certain stockbroker made $200,000. He filed his returns showing a tax of $40,000, He defaulted in his payment, however, and in a personal interview with me, said he didn’t have nthe money. A 6 per cent penalty w* imposed and he hustled around ang got the money. the cost him just $2000,"" The Second and Third New York dis- tricts, Mr. Edwards said raise ,more han one-quarter of the total amount collected thruout the entire United States.
