GOVERNOR CRO7HBRS OPPOSES
INHERITANCE TAX

Governor Crothers is hostile to the sug-
eestion made by President Taft that the
National Government levy an inheritance
tax. He will ask Marylands representa-
tives in the National Senate and House tC
oppose any bill authorizing such tax.
The State" said the Governor "predi-
Gated its loan for roads on the idea that
certain revenues would come into it from
collateral inheritance tax which was pro-
vided at the same session authorizing the
loan for roads. This law authorizes tax
of S per centum. 1t has only been in OPP
Grafton few months, so it cannot be def
nitely said what the income from it will
be. 1t will, in my judgment. amount to
$250,000 annually in a short time.
"All the machinery of Government deal
ing with the estates of deceased persons.
such as Orphans Courts and Register of
Wills offices, is provided by the State. and
the tax is essentially State tax. 1t should
not be taken by the Government.
in framing such bill for the purposes
President Taft has in mind. it is possible.
of course. to leave it so that the States can
continue to collect revenues from inheri-
tances either by direct or collateral meth
DDS. Such a course would be the most
favorable TO the States, but even under
this circumstance the tax would be in the
nature of a double one, and the hardship
upon those compelled to pay would be
greatly augmented.
The States are entitled to this tax and
the National Government should not inter
fere with them.
President Taft faces a deficit. This con-
dition is none of his own making. He found
it when he went into Office. legacy from
