INCOME REPORT
JUNGLE SAM
Sued for $292,oo0 by Govern
ment, Oil King Prepares to
Fight Case Out in Courts
Gives Out Statement.

New York, Dec. 81 Omitted News)
John D., Rockefeller is sued by the
United States government for $780,
67S7S, on grounds that the income
tax statement he filed in 1916 was
incorrect, misleading and false" in
that he failed to include part Of his
income from 50,1o4 shares of ILL
nois Pipe Line Company and 67,176
shares of the Prairie Pipe Line Com
pany.
But John D. Rockefeller will go to
court. More, he will counter this
suit. his representatives declared
Monday night, with one against the
government for the large amount he
did pay in 1916, and which he claims
was illegally collected.
His Lawyers Give Statement.
Mr.. Rockefeller's lawyers gave out
a statement showing that in 1915
the Ohio Oil Company and the Prai
-rie Oil Company turned over to the
two companies named in the gov
,ernment suit, their respective pipe
line properties Shareholders re-
eeived a pro rata distribution Of
stock. These stocks, Mr.. Rockefeller
looked upon as a stock dividend, and
1870
time made such dividends untaxable,
he didn't write them into his income
statement.
Then, the statement continues, the
treasury department changed it's rul-
ing in 1917 holding that stock divi-
dends were taxable, and "Mr. Rookie
feller's return for the year 1915 was
revised to include these stocks at
their par value, and the department
made an additional assessment
against him, which he paid under
protest.
Later the supreme court of the
United States held that stock divi-
dends were not taxable, whereupon
Mr.. Rockefeller filed a claim for the
refund of the amount he paid in 1917
Why Claim Was DisaIowed.
The department disallowed his
claim, holding that these stock dis
tributions were not strictly stock
dividends, but dividends paid in
property, and further held that the
assessment made in 1917 should have
been on the market value Of the
shares at the time distributed, in
stead of at their par value.
so" concludes the statement
s'Mr. Rockefeller believes that the
additional amount now claimed Is
not a legal tax under the decision:
of the United States supreme court
and for that reason, pending de
cision by the courts, he has declined
to pay It,

the king, Philip V, was suffering
