DODGlNe THE TAX MAN.
How One Wealthy New York Family
Laughs at His Bill

EaA8He 81 lNAe oAiNs
One method by which the rich man
evades his legal taxes and leaves the
poor man to bear the tax burden
alone Mr.. A. I. Mock describes in the
American Magazine as follows:
LET me tell you a story Of wealthy
New York family, one Of the many
resident nonresident families whose le-
gal headquarters are in New Jersey,
but who are New Workers for every
purpose but taxation.
The family consists Of three per.
sons-man, wife and mother. They
have a magnificent home in New York
and under the nonresident law were
assessed moderately on their household
goods and ornaments.
The assessment, $4,000, was enter.
ed against the man as head Of the
family. He appeared before the com
missiOners, swOre that he did not OWE
the property, and the assessment lapsed
for that year.
Next year il was entered against all
three-man. wife and mother. Each
appeared and swOre that he Tor she'
did not own the property. and again
the assessment lapsed. When asked
who the owner Of the property was
they replied. by advice of counsel. that
It was the commissioners business 10
find out.
THE long and short Of it was that
to save the tax bill of about $40 a
year the three had incorporated them
selves as a New Jersey corporation
for the sole purpose Of holding those
household goods. The property was
owned by the family as corporation
property. and none Of the three was
personally liable"

TUBERCULOSIS MILLIONS OoUe
LED IN 1910.
$4,000 900 Spent in Consumption Fight
lover 81 Per Cent. Public Money.

How the money spent last year in
the anti-tuberculosis campaign prac-
tically doubled that spent in 1909. is
shown in the second annual statistical
statement published today by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention OF tuberculosis. in its Off
cial organ. the Journal OF the Outdoor
Life.
The statement. which is based OF
reports from all parts Of the United
States. shows that in 1910. nearly SIS
10000 was spent in the fight against
tuberculosis. as opposed to $4,000. OOO
spent in 1909. The largest item OF
expense in 1910 was for treatment in
salatoria and hospitals. $11.376.5OO
being expended for that purpose. or
more than double the amount for 1909.
The anti-tuberculosis associations
spent S76O,5OO and the tuberculosis
dispensaries, $SS9.OOO. The special
municipal and state expenditures
aggregate Sl.75O.OOO.
The statement declares that the
most significant fact in the survey OF
the years work is the increase in the
percentage Of public money spent
While in 1909. 5S.5 per cent of the to-
tai expenditures was from federal
state. municipal or county funds. 62.6
per cent. came from public approDria
tions in 1910. The actual amount OF
public money spent in tuberculosis
work this past year was S9.267 900, oil
more than double the amount from
this same source in 1909. This fact
indicates. the National Association de
clares. that anti-tuberculosis associa
tions are gaining ground, by securing
increased appropriations from public
money.
New York State again leads the
country in the money spent. her total
Of $4.245.OOO being more than double
