Now York Having Trouble Collecting
From Itich Men
New York special The joint special
committee of the General Assembly on tax
ation and retrenchment met at the Hotel
Metiojioe Tax Commissioner Thomas L
Feitner told the committee that state and
local taxes should be separate A per
plexing question was that of assessments
on estates because the executors often
lived out of the state and could not bo
reached He also stated that the state lost
largely by not being able to as ess such
properties as the Western Union Telegraph
Company Reverting to tin question of
estates a member of the committee asked
Mr Feitner what was the personal assess
ment of Jay Gould and he replied that for
four years it had teen S5C0CO but for
many years prior to that it was ony S259
C00 and Mr Gould complained not a little
about the increase Mr Feitner said that
the difficulty in getting at the taxable
property of wealthy men was that they al
ways pleaded heavy indebtedness He
said that on one occasion Chauncey M De
pew had told him that Commodore Vander
bilt often carried an indebtedness of 520
000000 and saved from 5 to 7 per cent on
his investments by dodging taxes through
the debt
