\ few years ago the New York World
showed up the money bloats of New
York City. Pierpont Morgan, the
Rockefellers, the Vanderbilts, Astors,
Goulds. Sage, all the numerous horde
of predatory rich, gave in sworn state
ments that their personal possessions
aggregated from $50,000 to $200,000,—
perjurers every one. The law of per
sonal property is that it is taxable at
the domicile of its owner, so they could
not escape on the pretext that the goods
were not in the city. The next year
Carnegie became ashamed of himself
ami admitted that lie hud $5,000,000,—
a small percentage of his actual per
sonal property but a good deal more
| than any of the other millionaire An
i uuiases confessed to.
It public franchises of fabulous value
were taxed at a fair rate there would
be no necessity for personal property
taxes ami none on realty improvo
i ments.
