WALL STREET IRRITATED OVER THE MEASURE Claim Treasury Department Has Reversed Its Rulings Several Times Agents Busy Accepting and Reject ing Coupons Rulings is sued Last Night to Collec tors. By As New tion ol' ociated Press. York, Nov. 1. The inaugura the income tax law was tnt cause of much confusion in the linan o'al district today. Institutions ana banking houses which act ae nsca: agents lor railroads and other :ov porations were buy receiving and rejecting coupon, the latter con;t. being taken iu case where cenm cates of ownership were lacking. Wall street, at a whole, is in Mate of irritation over the matter, Us iil teebng resulting largely freai :ne attitude of the treasury departmer which, according to the street, na-.-overal times reversed itself in iui ' egulations. At the house of JJ. P. -Morgan & Co., the fiscal agents for many large corporations, coupons ve'e being 'e cHved in large amounts subject to 'lie !.t!o-t rules issued by Waybiii--'.!). representative of the nu. -awl it would take at least a month to pay off all coupons presented tor io..'jii-m. r.ereioiore such navments , used to be made within a dav or ti iol presentation. At the Chase National Bank, wjuei ias several thousand out ot tout correspondents for whom it collect; coupon. pajabie iu this city, it wa said thai coupons aie not being uc copied for deposit but only ror coi lection, it was required that certin eates companying the coupons statt whether the bonds which they rey re.-tnt were taxable or exempt. The income tax, the most revolution jiry revenue rasiing power eon ferret on the Ameikan gov rument since it; foundation, today started upon thf patti. thai is to bring billions into tb public treasury. Although it has beef disei'f-sed for many a year, and its sue cess was assured by an amendment tt the constitution early last spring, it eoileotion by a government, which has not tried it will .strain the resources of the fertile minds in the treasurj department and will bo accompanied it is not doubted here, with a thous ard complications not now foreseen Ever since resident Wilson earl this month signed the tariff bill witt its income tax provision the machin ery oi the treasury department hat been at work upon the regulati a that are to govern collection of th tax. Assistant Secretary Williams las night said that the regulations of tht department were not difficult to uu demand, but some other officials it the department do not agree. Thous ands of letters and telegrams bringing up lor settlement points in the new law have poured into the department i Thev have come from every conceiva ble source and added to the labor of making . regulations, have madf the task of the experts one not to be envied. No one in the department believes tiie regulations so far formulated are absolutely perfect, but they will stand unti lsocoe one proves they should be changed. Since the administration began framing an income tax law the talk has gone tlie rounds in Washington that it would lead to many fights in the courts, and as the tariff bill pro gressed through the senate many a senator quietly expressed the view that every line of the income tax pro vision was a subject for a law suit. With the law suits the treasury de partment has little concern. Its busi ness is to go out and get the money. Officials believe the regulations tbey have put out are framed not with an idea of causing trouble to those who must pay, but in the only way they could be framed to safeguard the gov ernment's interest. The man in the street who knows he makts more than $?.090 a year, and who practically is icspnsible for his share of the tax. does tot need to begin worrying about his payments tor the present. The operation of the law tcday affects only banks, cor porations and others responsible for payment of bonds, mortgages, sal aries, etc. For such part as they ar found b the law they must withhold "at the source." The amount so with held is not immediately payable to the treasury and the money from the tax will not begin flowing into the treasury vaults for many months. The tax for ISIS is to be collected from March I, shortly after the constitu tionai amendment waS ratified, until Decembtr Cl. The treasury depart ment tcnight issued further regula tions affecting collections at the source of income. DAY
