HOW THE INCOME TAXES
WERE PAID TO THE GOVT.
WASHINGTON, Aug 9. Of the
[ $173,000,000 personal income tax col
lected lor the fiscal year 1916, invest
ors and speculators in all fields shoul
I dered just one-third of the burden,
1 labor .0X6 per cent of it, and the re
mainder came from the multitudinous
ranks of those whose incomes were
classed as derived from "business”
and “services."
Embraced within the latter classes
is every calling from that of banker
to the farmer with a scant acre, and
In the professions, from the practi
tioner of international law to the mod
est chiropodist.
Ninety per cent of the total tax was
derived from those fulsome incomes,
of more than $25,000, and 1.66 per
cent from those of the $5,000 class;
and less, although the latter consti
tuted more than a third of the total
437,000 returns. The highest average
rate of tax actually paid ui«)tt net in
come subject to tax was 12.9 |ier cent,
which fell upon the highest income
class of $5,000,000 and over Only ten j
individuals, however, bore the burden
of that rate They contributed $13,-j
ooo.ooo to the total tax. The aver-1
age rate of tax paid declined through
the income classes to a minimum of
.28 per cent for the $3,000 to $4,000
class.
Although incomes of $100,000 and
more constituted only 1.5 per cent of
the total number of returns, they paid j
nearly three-fourths of the total tax !
"Property" income from stocks,!
bonds, rents, royalties and all money-'
working sources—constituting nearly!
one-half of the net total of $6,000,000 j
reported, even in the face of the ex
emption dividends, amounting to ex
j actly a third of the total net income
j returned—bore nearly Its proportion I
late one half of the total tax because
| of the much higher projsirtion of i
"property" income in the returns ot j
the higher income classes, paying the
heavier rates of tax Incomes from'
"business" anil "service" footed the;
remainder of the tax bill.
As an evidence of the inducements’
to thrift in matrimony, the returns of
married men, making due deduction
tor joint returns of husband and wire,
indicated their wealth at more than1
five times that of single men, as
shown by their returns, the former
bearing a corresponding burden of the
tax except for exemption in the $3,0oo
to $4,ni)o class, amounting to about •>.
per cent of their total income re
ported.
Although tor the country ui large
the returns of single men were double
those of single women, the six New I
Kngland states were a conspicuous
exception to the rule The total in-i
come reported by single men in t tint ^
section exceeded by barely 15 per cent
the total income of single women,
bearing testimony either to the su
perior independence and earning ca
pacitv of the New Kngland women or
to a reluctance to share Inherited
| riches in matrimony The District ot
Columbia and Hawaii were also con
spicuous in that reaped. showing
! about equal returns for single men
land women.
A striking eccentricity in the report
I is the return in the skilled and tin
I skilled labor class of twenty-two in
comes above the $50,000 mark, live of
j them being above $11)0,000. Two hun
dred and eighty labor returns were
| above $10,000.
Four commercial travelers showed
| incomes of over $100,000, as did two
1 saloonkeepers, one professional sports
man, eighteen hotel proprietors and
twenty-two insurance agents. Actors,
singers and musicians to the number
1 of 914 showed a total income of $11.
.128,000, a net average of over $12,000,
and a possibility to stimulate the
other 170,000 not making returns.
Five of these incomes were over $150,
000. In the class of authors, editors
and reporters there were sixteen in
comes of better than $100,000, and
two above $500,000. Twelve ministers
of the gospel showed Incomes of more
than $50,000.
The legal profession earned the
greatest total Incomes among profes
sions, although the average incomes
among enineers were higher.
Of the 23,000 manufacturers In the
country in 1910. one in every ten made
returns, paying a total of 12 per cent
of the tax; of the merchants, one In
ten made returns; paying 12.5 per
| cent of the tux: of commission brok
er:'. in all fields, one in five, paying
8 per cent; real estate brokers, one
in four, paying 0.83 per cent: lawyers
and judges, one in five, p#ving 2.T
per cent; mine owners and operators,
! one in six, paying 4 per cent One
armor in about every four hundred j
j made returns, paying an aggregate
I
of 1 per cent of the tax; one teacher!
in every two hundred, one clergyman
in about every seventy-live.
The three states reporting thei
greatest incomes were, in the order j
of their returns. New York, I’ennsyl I
vanla and Illinois. New York, with]
nearly two billions, reported almost a
third of the total returns This, how
ever, is not an accurate indication of
the wealth of a state, for persons lile
returns wherever they reside, regard
less of where their investments or
properties are. It is a fairly accurate
indication, however, of where that
much income Is spent.
The net personal income reported
In 1916 totaled $6,200,000,000, an in
crease of $2,400,000,0011 over 1912, or
about 4o per cent.
Corporate returns for 1916 showed
a total net income of $8,700,000,000.
an increase of more than three bll
lions over 191a, and live billions over
1914, or more than 100 per cent. Of
the 211." Ml corporations reporting, -In
per cent showed no net earnings,
which, however, was a lower percent-j
age than in preceding years
Of the $172,000,000 corporate taxi
collected, 17.5 per cent of it was
drawn from public utilities, 12 per
cent trom iron and steel production,
and 9 per cent from mineral opera
tions. The remainder came largely
from miscellaneous manufacturing in
dustries, banking and insurance com
panies and merchandising companies.
