f1rmed by these further facts:
On the occasion of RockefeIIer's
last birthday, his employees are re-
ported on good authority to have pre-
sented him with a statement show
ing that his total wealth amounted to
more than ONE BILLION DOLLARS.
At 5 per cent this would make his in
s. come amount to 100000, or Just
$29,000,000 more than it appears he
paid income tax on just one year be-
fore.
Five per cent dividends on any
thing are pretty small potatoes to
John D. Rockefeller.
In weighing this evidence, the
American people should take into
consideration RockefelleT's known
tax record. They should remember
that he has persistently evaded taxes
in Cleveland and has paid taxes in
New York for less than the actual
value of his personal property. They
should remember also Standard Oils
record of disregard for the law and
every kind Of governmental institu-
ton.
It is possible, of course, that some
of the stocks listed above may have
been transferred to John D., Jr., so
that the elder Rockefeller is no long
er liable for income tax upon them.
Buff so, it is of the utmost import
ance for the treasury department to
ascertain whether this transfer was
made BEFORE the income tax be-
came law, or AFTER, as a means Of
evading the high sUper-tax rates.
In any case the American. people
should demand that the treasury de-
partment make a searching exam
ination of this entire case in order
that the facts may be established.
The examination should be public in
order that the actual details may be
established beyond a shadow Of
doubt
