RECOMMENDS
CHANGES IN THE
n. !. TAX LAWS

New York Jan. l5.--Prof. Il. II. \. se.-
igman OF Columbia university today gave
out n summary OF the changes In state
tax laws recommended by the special tax
commission. The report declared that the
need OF increasing the revenue for state
purposes, while matter OF some import
ance, is not or paramount significance.
From the view OF revenue, the local
needs are held 10 be the ones OF CHIEF
significance.
The commissioners believe that the ef-
feet of several of the bills TO be submitted
among them one providing for the return
20 the various counties OF all sums In the
state treasury above reasonable ana
prudent surplus Will be TO reduce the tax
alton upon real estate very considerably
and TO "effect a far greater approximation
20 justice in taxation than exists at
present"
The commissioners also recommended
some notifications in the method OF as
sessing the tax on stock transfers.
The commission considered I'm detail the
project OF a graduated inheritance tax
and decided in favor OF graduated IN
hertance tax OF the following kind:
There are TO be three classes OF grades
--One per cent in the case Of near reld-
tives. three per cent in the case OF more
distant relatives and five per cent In the
strangers These are called the primary
rates and they apply 10 the first $25,OOo
over the exemptions The exemptions are
$3.50 I'm the case OF the immediate family.
$3.50 I'm the case OF most distant relatives
and strangers. but there Is a further pro-
vision that in the case OF the direct rela-
tives there shall be no tax at all when
the entire estate does not exceed $4,000.
on the excess over $4,000 and up
20 100000 twice the primary rates
are levied: on the excess OF 100000
above the exemption and up 20 $500
o00 three times the primary rates on
the excess of $500 900 above the eX-
emption and up TO $1,000, 900, four times
the primary tax rates. on all amounts
in excess OF the first million dollars
above the exemption, five times the
primary rates-that is on the highest
sums the maximum rates for direct
relative Is per cent; for the most
distant relatives 10 per cent and for
strangers 20 per cent These rates are
declared 10 be moderate when COM
pared 10 similar rates existing in Eng
land. France and Germany. Switzer-
land and Australasia.
II is also provided that one-half OF |
the proceeds OF the Inheritance tax |
should go to counties whore the tax |
IS paid
The commission recommended that |
corporations should be taxable only on \
their real estate and franchises. If any,
and that on the other hand the state .
franchises and license taxes should be
increased.
They also discussed the question as
10 whether the basis OF the franchise
tax should not be changed from a
according To capital stock 10
a basis valuation on the basis OF capital
stock plus bonded Indebtedness.
