In an article published last week II
was shown from Sundry figures given
out by tho Treasury Department that
while New York state paid between
forty-fOur and forty-five per cent. Of
The income tax. this burden was borne
by taxpayers representing at most some
$50 900 residents Of the State, or very
much less than one per cent. OF the
population Of the United States. The
purpose OF the article was to demon
Strdte the enormous regional inequality
and inPquitN of the system.
For the purpose Of the argument It
WIS assumed that as some whore about
half the total tax collected was paid by
this State the number of persons pay
NJ II would lie about half the number
in the whole country, or $4,000 out OF
357j9S. A business man OF this city
now points out In "A letter that Since
the vast majority OF the largest pay
mcEts are made by New York residents
and these represent a large percentage
Of the total amount Of New York's pay
mentS. consequently they reduce the
number Of contributors materially"
This ~ uuquostionahly true. No doubt
| IN, ratio Of contributors In New York
TO the whole number in the country was
| les,, than that of New Yorks contrlbu-
/ ton to the grand total But probably
| the difference would not materially ar
feet the deduction we had in view. 1t
is understood that presently the Treas
ury Department will give out detailed
| figures az to the distribution OF the tax.
/ Untu then only general calculations
/ based on rough estimates can be made.
. In so far as exact figures may tend to
/ lessen the number NJ persons whs paid
. tho tax in New York they can only in
/ torsify tho injustice pointed out in our
article.
