"One thrifty taxpayer has formed

thereby claims to have saved them
over $485,000 in one year in taxes.
Another thrifty pair has con-
stituted 40 trusts for their relatives,

utilize Is trusts for the same pur-
pose. The first pair maintains num-
bered brokerage accounts and only
at the end of the year are beneficial

"The purpose Of these partnerships,
like the multiple trusts, is to split
the family income artificially into two

in, into still smaller fractions.
There are many instances OF this
Kind, but to illustrate the point it
is sufficient to cite the case Of 4 New
York brokerage firm which late In
1885 admitted into partnership the
four minor children, two boys and
two girls, of one Of the partners. The
tax saving he sought thereby in 1886
amounted to over $50,00O.

The problem of tax avoidance is
not new. The Congress devoted par
tlcular attention to 1t In 1888 and
1884, and by legislation effectively
put a stop to many evasive devices
discovered then as having been in
use. The practices outlined above
can and should be stopped in the
same way.
In conclusion, I have two ohser-
yatlons to make from the evidence
before me. In the first place, the
instances have given above are dis
CLOSED by quick check of compare
lively few individual returns. AS I
have said before, most Of the large
corporation returns have not vet been
flled. The general audit of 1896 re-
turns Is just beginning. Nevertheless.
1t is likely that the cases 1 have
dlgested above are symptomatic of a
large number OF others, which will be
disclosed by the usual careful audit,
In the second place, the ordinary
salar1ed man and the small merchant
does not resort to these or similar
devices. The great bulk OF our $780,
200 returns are honestly made. Legal
lied avoidance or evasion by the So
called leaders of the business COM
munity Is not only demoralizing to the
revenues; it is demoralizing to those
who practice it as well. 1t throws an
additional burden of taxation upon
the other members Of the community
who are less able to bear 1t, and who
are already cheerfully bearing their
fair shAre. The success Of our reve-
nue system depends equally upon 1Atr
