NO ESCAPE BY EITHER. Each Must Pay Same on All Income Over $20,000 From Whatever Soutce, By Samuel M. Williame. WASHINGTON, April 24.—This question was asked by The Evening World of Representative Hull of Tennessee, author of the pending income tax bill: Mr. Hull answered: | “Tf Mr, Rockefeller has one million | dollars annual®income from stock divi- | dends and Mr. Carnegie has one million [income from interest on beads, Mr. | Rockefeller will pay juat #0 more in- {come tax than Mr, Carnegie, The reason for this slight differonce is that | Mr, Carnegie paying personally is en titled to exemption on the “firet four thousand dollars of income, while a core poration paying the normal tax on dividends, in the form of the cor- Poration tax, does not obtain the ex- . | emption, “But both Mz.

BE COLLECTED FROM CORPORATIONS. “The man with @ million annual ta- come from stock may not pay directly out of his pocket the same amount as @ man with a million income from bonds, but indirectly at least he will contribute the sane. The reason is this, Corporations pay the normal tax of 1 per cent. on net income, Dividends are paid out of net income and theoretically the corporation is merely withholding ing the 1 per cent, at the source and paying it for the stockholder, Whether or not it charges the amount directly againet the stockholder's personal ac- count is a question for the company and its shareholders. It may pay the |eum out of its own treasury or it may jdeduct the sum from the dividend | checks, ‘The result is theoretically the same, as stockholders are the partners | who own the company, If the tax !s paid out of the company’s treasury, they |are contributing indirectly; if deduetea |trom the dividend checks, they pay | directly. | “In case of bonds, it ts for the cor- | poration und its bondholders to decide how te tax shall be pald. The Gov- | ernment cannot take cognizance of any jagreements between them ap to ex- |emptions from taxation, It 1s sald that |mome bonds are issued with spetific agreement that they ate exempt from all tax, others bave no such provision. ‘The Government will see that the tax Is paid, but Whether it shall ultimate come oul of the corporatiun’s Weasury AND CARNEGIE WILL BURED N MIME” DEFANT SATIN ~AFTEREXPLOSON SUES ULTIMATUM Twenty-two Bodies Recovered and No Hope for the Remaining Victims.

Already parties of superinten- dents, fire boeses and mine bosses froin other mines of the coal company and the mines of independent compantes in the neighborhood had been at work in the mine, but they were able to inake little headway. ‘The ventilation system had been paralyzed by the explosion, and before the workings could be explored it was necessary to construct temporary pas- sages through which the fresh air could be forced.
