assessed for paying the heavy bond tax
published throughout the country. Most
of the newspapers commented upon the
ridiculously small number OF millionaire
holders of these bonds, and the small
amount Of tax collected, being ignorant
az the fact that many OF these million
aires were legally non-residents or owed
large business debts which could be on
set, or really owned stocks instead OF
bonds, or bonds on which the recording
tax had beer paid. They were not re-
ouired to make any statement unless as
sessed.
The city authorities imposed an assess
ment year after year, increasing II as

not yield the amount exacted. All cltlzens

Amount Doubled.

Mr. Carnegie at first, for instance was
assessed as owner of only five millions
and Mr. Rockefeller upon only two mil
lions, which both miliionaires paid for
several years until two years ago. when
the assessors doubled these amounts an
tended, If possible. to force payment OF
the new tax Of one-half per cent. Hun

only upon fraction of their bonds Had
they been taxed upon the whole amount
OF bonds owned nearly one-thlrd or half
Of all their income from their bonds, as
we have seen, would have been confiscated
each year.
This unwise law drove many Of the
wealthy people 10 take up residence out
side the city limits where the confiscatory
tax was rarely levied. Hundreds Of
millions OF bonds thus escaped all taxa
ton Mr.. Canegies legal adviser in
formed him Of a simple plan for escap-
ing payment Of this heavy tax, but Mr.
Carnegie declined 10 take advantage Of
It and paid regularly all that the city
demanded
This law does not require owners Of
bonds to report their bond holdings; II
simply places them at the mercy OF the
Tax Commissioners, who guess who are
likely to have bonds. So little did this
exorbtant special tax yield and 80 enoT-
nous was the amount Of bonds which es-
capped all taxation that Tax Commissioner
Purdy over ten years ago advocated the
recording tax for New York State bonds,
which was enacted in 1906, and at the
same time the similar tax on foreign
bonds which became a law In 1911. This
method Of taxation has worked so well
that It has already been initiated by other
states. Many citizens. Mr.. Carnegie
among the number, have obeyed the new
law and paid the bond tax In full.
