E. L. Doheny pays himself q
salary Of $1,OOO,0OO a year from
his oil companies. He is one OF
the highest salaried men in the
world. Harry F. Sinclair allows
himself paltry $4,000. Neither
his salary nor Doheny's includes
the profits they take out Of the
companies.
Oil Pays Very Well.
OIL pays well, 1t would seem from
the records. Here follow some Of
the salaries officially recorded in the
Teapot Dome investigation.
The list shows that some of the
$4,000 and $4,000 a year men"
actually were paid a few cents under
these figures. Tax officials ex.
planned that there was a loophole
In the income tax return law, which
could be taken advantage of by
persons receiving just a few cents
under a certain income tax bracket.
6y thus putting themselves in a
lower tax bracket, they said, It
was possible to save hundreds of
dollars in income taxes.
The Following figures show what
Doneny paid for the years 1920.
1871 and 1922, respectively:
