PAYS MORE TAXES
THAN HIS INCOME
Double Charges of U. S. and
England Over 100 Per Cent
of Peers Wealth.

LONDON, April II, Correspondence
OF the Associated Press. )-That a man
should pay more for income tax than
the total Of his income seems tho limit
Of taxation.
This In said to be the plight of a
well-known British peer, who was born
an American and became naturaliSed In
England some years ago. His prop
ery. Is In the United States. Being a
5ritish subject he IL compelled by
BRUSH law to pay income tax on all
MS revenues from all sources, and the
American law compels payment Of in
come tax on all his income from Amer
a property, Being q multimillionaire
MS income Is subject to heavy super
TAX by both governments and the two
taxes are said to amount to more than
10Y. per cent Of the income. Thus tho
unfortunate n6nleman must pay out all
OF mis- receipts and dip into his capltal
% defray current taxes and. after de-
!laylng TINS first charge, use more of
the capital for living expenses.
The double income tax Of the war
period has hit well-to-do Americans who
i've IN Great Britain very hard. In
former days very few OF the largo col
9ny 81 American business men living in
brltain ever gave up their American
citizenship. But many OF them have
found this draft on their patriotism too
heavy and have reluctantly CHANGED
their allegiance and taken out naturaIi-
zation papers.
As for those Americans who lived
here because they found the social at
moEphere Of England more conrenial
ana the scope for spending money on
pleasures greater than at home. most
OF them seem to have disappeared.
