MANLY In my earlier articles 1 have tndtcated that the greatest Income tax evasions were among the very wealthy--among the handful of multt millionaires who collectively own more than ONE-TENTH of the en-| tire wealth of the United States. The evasions among the multiamiliionalres are of two clamen FIRST, plain fraud in the Mling of false returns and the concealment of sources of income, and, FOUNDATIONS FOR FRAUD | SECOND, the utilization of various legal subterfuges to escape taxation, Chief among these legal subterfugen has been the ¢reation of the so-called FOUNDATIONS, which, I charge, and will try to dem onstrate later, were formed primarily to eva the federal income tax! Today we will examine the evidence relating to the Income tax payments of the multi-miiiionatres and a few specific cases of evasion In order to deal with this question intelligently, | secured from) the treasury department an analysis of the returns of the 173 Individ:| uals Who reported incomes of more than $600,000 for the year 1914 | The figures which follow, showing the tncomes of the 173 million aires with {ncomes over $500,000 have never before been published In brief they show that these 173 individuals, who constitute less than TWO TEN-THOUSANDTHS of the population of the United States had groas incomes in 1914 of $246,327,606, or the equivalent of the] earnings of 600,000 WAGE-EARNERS. CHEAT ON HALF THE INCOME And yet, incredible a» the figures just quoted seem, it ts my firm) onvietion, as @ result of my in tigation, that these mult!-mililon os haYe succeeded in concealing more than half of their actual in-| at least twice! comes, and that the amounts reported should have bee as large The detatled figures, showtng the sources of income and the de ductions claimed, are as follow# INCOMES OF 173 MILLIONAIRES WITH INCOMES OVER $500,000 INCOMES Salaries ee 2. 2,674,000 | Professions ve 853,000 Businese—Private .. 14,473,000 Rents . 15,097,000 Interest—! 10,209,000 Interest—Bonds, etc. 29,987,000 Fiduciaries . se vee $,208,000 | Partnership gains ..

Assuming, however, that they own only ten per cent, the loss In the failure to declare dividends must amount to the tax on $250,000,000 of the net In | come—or ni y FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS! | NAMES SPECIFIC CASES | It would be interesting to analyze the various {tems shown tn the return it would indicate very clearly the excessive size of the de duetions claimed, but before closing this article I want to show one or two concrete cases of evasion among the multi-mi{llionaire clase which my investigations have b > light One is the L. V. Harkness case, which I discussed yesterday, and which has opened up great probabilities of fraud and evasion, In 1914 only one person tn the state of California paid an income tax on more than $800,000. We know now that this was L. V. Harkness Now, in Jie state of {fornia there are a large number of muiti-millionalres, | many of vases incomes, I believe, mast be more than $500,000, There lis John D, Spreckies, Mra. Phoebe A. Hearst, the Stanford estate, the Huntington estate, and whole colonies at Pasadena and other brought ts | mark. | ADD MANY MILLIONS Tt the treasury department would take only California, and after publishing the returns that have been filed, make a sweeping invest eation of the milifonaires of that onestate, there can be no doubt that the total taxes and penalties collected would amount to MILLIONS! | | The many evidences of extensive frauds among our multi-million atres are so compelling that It seeme only a matter of logic te ik See retary McAdoo the following questions, in the hope that the 5 | demand an answer | WHAT ACTION, IF ANY, HAS HE TAKEN IN THE | HARKNESS CASE? | HOW MANY RETURNS IN THE $500,000 CLASS HAVE BEEN EXAMINED, ANDO wirn WHAT RESULT?
