DEDUCTIONS JtfTHE SOURCE
Income Tax Problems Fat Up to
Real Estate Men.
HOLDING OUT THE ONE PER CENT
What the Lnrr Requires Aitenta to
Do Exemptions nnd the Mn
ehlnery tor Ilrtara of
Deduction.
Heal estate men, especially agents who
collect rents and pay charges against
properties, have found the printed form
of the Income tax law quite a puzzle.
To them, to trustee and administrators
of estates, to officers and directors of
real estate corporations and to Individuals
sharing In the earnings of such corpora
tions, some of the sections ot the law
bring up grave questions. Most puzzling
of all is tho question or "source." Dis
cussion of the matter has brought forth
so many diverso opinions that the real
estate world generally will welcome the
Interpretation by Walter Undner, so
licitor of the New York Title Guarantee
and Trust company, given to the mem
bers of tho Ileal Kstate board of New
York.
Mr. Lindner's interpretation shows that
not only is it necessary for tenants who
pay or moro in rent direct to their
landlords to hold up a part of this for
tax, but every person paying Interest on
mortgage, no matter how small an
amount, has to do the same. According
to his view, there are so many "sources
of mcomo" nt which taxes are to bo re
tained that the greatest contusion is likely
to result. Untold thousands In this city,
either ns tenants, agents, mortgagors,
trustees or administrators, will bo called
upon to act as tax collectors for the gov
ernment. "Tho business of the real estate man,"
said Mr. .Lindner, "divides Itself Into
three main divisions, tho oporation, in
vestment and then the large army of
agents who are either brokers or man
agers. In every one ot those relations
we are affected by the Income tax law,
not only because Incomes as such are
taxed, but becauso of tho peculiar feature
ot the mechanism of the act by, which
the government Is trying to obtain both
information and machinery for collection
through tho requirement that the source
shall retain income In certain instances
specified In the act
'It Is the principle of retention at the
source which is going to make most of
tho trouble and cause most of the worrl
ment to us In our business' relations. It
Is the fact that the government very
clearly makes overy man whom It possi
bly can make a tax collector, which af
fects us In our relations with our clients
arid customers.
"Now 'source' l nn English word, but
it does not mean what It denotes In Eng
lish when you uso It in this act 'Source'
In this act may mean the original payer
or It may mean any conduit ot payment
at the various stages of the course of n
payment from tho original debtor to the
final creditor. To illustrate:. If we follow
an Item ot rent from the original tenant
until it reaches the pwner of the land we
may see at what various "places a source
may bo found under the language of this
act. For Instance, If n tenant owes rent
he would be the original source ot tho
payment as we understand that word
usually.
r"If, however, that tenant does not pay
a rent so largo that he Is directed by
the act to retain it, then hq need not de
duct anything for Income tax from his
landlord. That Is to say, If you have
a tenant who pays you less than J3.000 a
year, whether ho pays you directly or
through an agent, that tenant does not
have to deduct as a source of payment
Hut If that Itom of rent, instead of being
paid by tho tenant directly to his land
lord, is paid to an agent, who has charge
pf tho management ot the building, and
if then that agent, collecting from vari
ous tenants, even If they occupy other
buildings, receives and Is required to
transmit to his principal a sum which
aggregates from tho various sources
trim which tho agent derives It a sum
in excess of 13,000 during the tax year,
then, although the tenant within the
purview of this act was not a source
who was required to make a retention.
tho agent, however, who has the hand
ling and transmission ot tho income for
his . landlord und principal and who Is
required to transmit an aggregate of
moro than 13,000 during tho tax year.
becomes a sourco with regard to his
principal nnd he Is required by tho lan
guage of the act to retain on behalf of
his principal and, if finally necessary, to
pay Into the government the amount ot
the tax. That Is ono way in which we
may be affected.
"Let us follow this agency business a
little further.
"When an agent is renulred in trn
mlt to Ills principal a sum In excess of
$3,000 the question has arisen In your
minas, ana I have been asked It a num
ber of times, 'Docs that mean net or
gross Incomer As I read the act It
means gross income.
"If your rent roll Is over X3.000 on be
half of any particular client and if out
of that rent roll you are Instructed to
pay the Interest on hla mortgage, the
taxes on his property and repairs, then
notwithstanding the fact that you may
send him less than $3,000 net still, as I

read the act, these deductions are not
to be allowed at the time when you are
forwarding your monthly statement and
sending him his monthly avails. You
have to take out tho 1 per cent, on the
gross roll and hold It until the end ot
tho year. At the end ot tho year there
will be an arrangement ot bookkeeping
and taxes. In which there will be an ad
justment of the amounts that have been
held nut
Let Us Suppose.
Suppose your agent Is handling 6,000 ot
rent belonging to you and he gets In
JS.000 during the tax year In gross rent
and you serve him with a certificate that
J 1,000 out of that rent Is exempt. It he
did not havo the certificate he would hold
up fA ot your $5,000. When you serve
him with a certificate he cannot hold
up more than 120 of the ISO and then he
holds the $20 until the end of the year.
Now, at the end of the year comes the
question whether or not you owe that
J20 to tho government and then, you are
entitled to figure your deductions and ff,
out of your $6,000 rent, you have paid
$3,000 of interest on your mortgage ana
$530 of tares on your propertj, then you
will seo that $3,600 deducted from your
10,000 of rent leaves only $2,600 of total net
Income after deduction, nnd then if that
$2,600 should happen to be the only in
come of the person under consideration
then he Is not llablo to nny. tax and the
agent ought to return the $20, provided
that you go through the complicated ma
chinery of showing all your business to
your agent by making an entire return of
all your business affairs to your agent
and disclosing your entire business to
him.
If you do not want to do that, It is
the duly of the ngent to make a formal
return to tho government on your behalf
and to take that $20 and pay U to the
collector of Internal revenue, and It by
reason or . aoauctions you mm you
ought to get that $20 back.Jnstead of
getting It back from your agent, you
will have to apply for a refund to the
collector ot Internal revenub in your dis
trict and you may get the money back
some time.
"Unless you want to take your chance.
of when or how you are going to get
your money back by a refund, you are
put up against the proposition that in
order to get the allowance for your de
ductions from the sources which havo
retained them you have to show up
your business transactions to the persons
Who have held up your money and men
you have to take a chance on their sol
vency at tho time when you come to
ask for the money.
"That is a brief outline of ono way
tho retention nt tho sourco probably af
fects real estato men. There aro many
other very much moro complicated re
lations In which tho principle of reten
tion at the source will affect the real
estate man. With reward to the mort
gogo Interest that he pay" and with re
gard to the mortgage Interest that he Is
to receive he will find that thero are
many ruts In the road by which the
mortgage interest must travel from the
owner of tho equity to tho final holder
of tho mortgage, especially if tho money
should happen to bo collected through
or havo to travel through an agency,
such as a corporation which guarantees
payment of the mortgage. There you
will find that, holders of, mortgages ex-
rft their Interest to come to tnem
promptly and without deduction. There
you will find that holders or sucn mort
gages will find themselves receiving
their Interest Ina. great many instances
short of tho gross amount, with 1 per
cent deduction, hero and there."

Trust Companies Are
Handling Estates to
Value of Billions
As the result of actual statistics re
cently obtained from official sources and
through direct inquiry, It has been as
certained that tho trust companies of 1
the United States are administering the
affairs and guarding estates valued at
$7,150,000,000. This vast treasure em
braces real estate, personal property,
stocks and bonds, mortgages and cash
funds, conveyed to the safekeeping ot
trust companies in accordance with in-
structlons under wills and Instruments i
of trust, for the benefit ot heirs and '
legatees. Among the estates managed by
trust companies are those ot eminent
jurists, financiers, bankers, capitalists
and men who have left large fortunes.
Tile same care and nracautlonn with .
which tho great estates are looked after
Is directed to the rapidly Increasing num
ber of small estates which are being
turned over to these institutions. The
same reasons which Induce, the man of
large means to have a trust company
appointed as executor and administrator i
of his estate to guard his family against
waste or mismanagement after his death
appeal ,wlth equal, If not greater force,
to the man who has only a few thou
sands or tho proceeds of life Insurance
to keep his widow and children from
poverty.
There have been many important de
velopments ot lute to show that there is
a general awakening throughout the
country that the trust company is the
only logical and safest custodian of es
tates and trust funds. It is only when
some tragic circumstances attend a be.
trayal ot trust that tho newspapers give
an Inkling of the. true conditions. Some
time ago the New York papers contained j
details of tho complete looting of the
estate of the lato Itoscoo Conklin by an '
Individual executor. Several days aftetf
this was made public there were ac
counts of the suicide of a prominent clt
lion, yrho' resides In one of the fashion
able suburbs of Philadelphia, who had
wasted the proceeds of numerous estates
valued at $300,000, In Pittsburgh there
were no less than four men In prison at
tha same time awaiting trial on criminal
charges of having appropriated trust
funds for their own use.
When such well-known men as the late
Chief Justice Fuller of the United
States supreme court. Senator Stephen
Klklns, Marshall Field, P. A. . Wldener
and many others on the roll of the de
parted make wills in which they In
struct trust companies to manage and
prceene their estates for the welfare of
their families. It Is easy to comprehend
why tho trust comanIes have been so
successful.
NO FUNDS LEFT FOR
HAULING DEAD DOGS
Unless the owners of dogs take out
licenses for their animals the police com
missioner, J. J. Ryder, will be compelled
to pay for the removal of dead dogs at
his own expense. A large number of un
licensed dogs have been permitted to
run loose about the city because the fund
out of which the doxcajcher Is paid has
been exhausted.
Commissioner Ryder's ordinance reduc
ing the license on female dogs from $5 to
ti a year will U discussed at the meeting '
of the city commission In committee of
the whole Monday, and If It is passed the
police commissioner believes the addl- j
tlonal licenses taken out will replenish j
the dead animal fund until necessary
expenses can be met. i
