' DOES JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER CHEAT UNCLE:
SAM OF INCOME TAX ON $29, 900, 900?
BY BASIL M. MANLY

Washington, Nov. 14-From a
confidential source, high in author
ity at the United States treasury de-
paTtment, I learn that in 1915 John
D. Rockefeller paid income tax on a
little more than $2O,OOO,OOO.
From an Independent authority,
also having access to treasury rec
Ords, / learn that in 1915 the income
tax paid by John D. Rockefeller was
approximately $1,25O,OOO, which is
the tax on an income of $2O,83O,O0O,
as nearly as can be calculated in
absence Of complete data.
These two statements obtained
from Independent and authoritative
sources agree so closely that it may
be accepted as a fact that Rookie
teller paid into the treasury in 1915
tax on approximately $21, 100000.
This is an almost mcOnceivable
amount, equal to the average annual
earnings of $4,000 American citizens,
and representing more than one
thiTtieth of the total personal income
tax paid in that year by 357,515 Of
the nations richest citizens.
But the question arises: does this
million and a quarter dollars repre-
sent ALL THE TAX to which the fed
eraI treasury was entitled from
Rockefeller?
In other words, was Rockefeller
one of the host of wealthy citizens,
who, as I have proved in previous
articles, defrauded the treasury of
100000, 900 by evasion of the income
tax?
With RockefeIlers detailed income
tax return locked up in the vaults of
the United States treasury depart
ment and lacking complete informa-
ton regarding all the details of his
vast fortune, a positive charge that
Rockefeller was one of the great in
come tax dodgers cannot be made.

scrutiny by the

treasury officials.
Here is the evidence: During the
year 1914, for which income tax was
paid in June, 1915, the dividends Of
the Standard Oil companies and their
subsidiaries alone amounted to $751;
100000. Rockefeller is shown on
the stockholders lists Of these COM
panies to have been the owner of a
little more than One-fourth of all the
stock, making his share of the diVi-
dends in that year $16,805,000.
In addition, Rockefeller received
during the same year as interest on
his Colorado Fuel and Iron bonds, Of
which he admitted the ownership Of
$14,866,OO0, further income of
S743,3OO.
From his oil stocks and Colorado
bonds alone, therefore, it is possible
to account for more than ST, 100000
income during that one year.
This leaves only $3,500,000 as his
income from all other sources.
No records exist from which it is
possible to calculate his income from
other investments with a similar de-
gree of accuracy, but it is matter OF
common knowledge in New York
financial circles that Rockefeller's in
vestments in other securities are
nearly if not quite equal to his oil
holdings. These latter represent his
reinvestment Of the enormous sums
paid to him in Standard Oil dividends
for the past quarter of a century.
He is known, for example, to be a
large owner of bank stocks, includ-
ing the immensely profitable National
City Bank of New York, a large hold
er of railway stocks and bonds, and
a very heavy incestor in all classes
of public utility and government Sc
curities.
Any Wall street banker or broker
will tell you that Rockefeller's in
come from investments outside of oil
