War Tax Will Hit The
Rich Hardest of All

New York, N. Y, March Il Col
lector William H. Edwards OF the
Second, or Wall street, revenue office,
commented upon the estimated taxes
of Americas richest individuals,
pointing out that, right or wrong, the
estimates should dispel any idea that
the rich were not bearing their share
in the war.
1t has been estimated that John d.
Rockefeller would be called on to pay
a tax of about $38,400,000 this year,
based on an income of $60,000,000. 1t
had been figured also, that Henry c,
Prick was Mr. Rockefeller's closest
rival, who would pay a tax approx
mately $7,1OO,OOO. The twenty-nine

is OF character to dispel the erron-
cous idea that the rich are not calleu
upon to bear their share of the wars

In this connection 1t should be
borne in mind that all incomes OF
S",oOO,OOO or more must pay a surtax

normal taxes and the excess profits

the taxes on which are paid by the
corporations. While, as | have said,
the list shown to me cannot be con-
sidered official, there is no law against
estimating an individuals wealth.
Three women figure in the list of
the thirty wealthiest Americans. They
are Mrs. e. H. Hartman, with an esti-
mated income of $4000,0OO; Mrs. Rus
