A Hit II %I%A IM.KFX A f#w days ago on*: or th# newspaper# f New York published an article In which It was asserted that If Mr Forr* - llu# Vanderbilt had pal*l all of lit# tax#' th# law r#iul r*l of him his e#tat# would have b**en atom l*# than It was—that. In fact, he bad <heat#d th# state out of about Hist amount. Th** list of tb# a#* ajrities Ixdonglng to his estate was pubh*:i#d a couple of week** ago. uni i was noticed Fait th# sc curl (tea were ra.lroad homls and lUrke of railroads and other corporations. Th# total amount of th#m m* nlxxit lii.iso.ou- It seems that Mr X .imlerhllt pakl Ux on |o*rsonal pr 'i#r*y to th# amount of* onl> about taUg.UOO. In the article lb ques tion therefore ;t was clalmad that hs was a gigantic tax dodger. Hut wa* he u tax io*lg#r? Some of th# friends of th# u? #uH#*d millionaire have t*k#n nolle* of th** hsrg# an*l have • ome forwarl In <lefense of hi# g<*od natn#. Tb# d#f#ie Is that worn# of bt# securities were not taxabl**. tligt th# rail roads. whose bo Hr In It# iield, paid t-i' ta*A#a on their property, and that th# oth er corporation# In which he held share# aiso |ald the taxes on tlielr respective proper!!##. It is asserted that If h# also had paid taxes on these securitlee he would have been double taxed. Th# |600.- no of f>#iFonal property Which he returned for taxa'ion was not taxed In an> other way. N doubt this Is the sort of a defense which many rich men #et up In their own minds who do not return oil of lhe*t bond# and mock# for taxation. It I# true of count that all the raHrosde are pretty iaavilv taxed, and so ar# all otner cor iMratiofi*. but th# ae* urltles of thaae *or icratlons ar# riot exempt from taxation Tho defense that Is made for Mr. Vain d< rbllt is rot a valid on#, though It Is a fart that (he law that requires s**cirltl#e, bused on properties that ar# already tax ed. to pny taxes is not a juat on#. No donl* such sec ur It lea might to pay some lng. but not as much as Is pa *1 by the property which they represent. Kallroad# era ax#d at about what It would rowt to bntUl them HhooUi the bond* on a rail road pay the same rate of taxation a# the ruad dues? First clast railroad bonds now pay only three and a half per cent. The tax rai# In many places la fully two and a half. Tnat would l*a\e a net Income of only one per cent, from auch lionds. Even those w?ho have the makdig of th# law# see the injuetlca of taxing aacuritlsa as heavily a# the property on which they ara baaed Is taxed. In ene states the rate of taxation 1# very low on certain kinda of person*! property—#eewrit lea of <or|K>rations. for Instance, which pay a tex on all of their holdings Mr Vanderbilt may have felt that h# luUl all the taxes he ought to pay, but there la nothing In wliat his defender# ray that shows that he paid all that the law required of him.
