CHAOS OVER NEW TAX
INCOME TAX CoNFUSES WALL ST.
BANKERS AND LAWYERS.
Admit Their Ienorance-Find Chief
Difficulty Is In Clause Providing
for Collection Dat the Source"

New York, Nov 3.-That part of
New York which is referred to vague
ly as Wall street was in a state of con-
fusion Friday. For once in it's career
Wall street did not know which way
to turn. The new income tax law be-
came effective that day and some of
the highest priced lawyers, bankers
and corporation officials in the world
confessed that they were completely
at sea as to it's meaning.
1t is practically a foregone conclu-
sion that payment of large part OF
S80,000,000 November interest pay
ments due in New York will be de-
ferred pending a solution of the riddle.
Whatever the outcome, it is predict
ed that many suits will be instituted
against the government to test the
law. Some of the leading insurance
companies, led by the New York Life,
have questioned that feature of the
law which imposes tax on corporate
holders of state or municipal bonds, of
which they hold large amounts, while
exempting the individual. -
The chief source of trouble is that
portion of the law which provides for
the collection "at the cource" of the
tax on income derived from interest
on bonds, mortgages and certain 9th
er obligations. Banks and corpora
tons are required to withhold this tax
in making payments of interest due to
holders OF securities.
The ruling in question has given
rise to endless confusion. In cases in
which bonds are not registered the
names of their owners often are not
known to the banks or fiscal agents to
whom coupons are presented for pay
ment. The identity of the owners
must be established to determine
whathar the fay ia tO ta deducted
