Hunting for Sources Of Revenue.

A favOrite pastime OF such State leg
islatures as are now in session : to
pass resolutions in opposition to a Fed
eraI inheritance tax, as proposed in the
new tariff bill The New York Iegisla-
ture has just registered a protest against
the new tax, as # well may. for the
auecession impost yields in the Empire
state an annual revenue exceeding S.
oo,0o0. and as the projected Federal tax
g the same as the New York tax, the
price OF death would be enhanced by an
other 5.oOo0oO yearly. Several States
which do not now impose an inheritance
AK are preparing to do so, Missouri be-
ag among the number. The Congress
sional Record IS beginning 20 present con-
crete evidence Of State feeling against
his tax, as memorials come in express
ng the sentiment that it Is a mode of
-aising revenue which should be reserved
% the States. AS more than thirty States
low impose inheritance taxation in
zome form, it will be seen that the is
sue thus raised IS by no means negligible.
The administration is. therefore. cast
.ag about for some other source Of reve-
-ue. President Taft has been several
lines reported as favoring an income
AK. but his attention appears now to be
turned 10 the taxation Of corporation div
.dends. This tax, however. invades
field Of revenue that has been pre-
empted by most OF the States. Indeed.
ne trend Of State taxing systems during
recent years has been toward raising the
aulk OF the State revenues from cor
2orations, leaving TO smaller political
units the revenues from taxation on real
and personal property. Thus a Federal
lax on corporations would be additional
70 that already imposed by the States,
end open to the same objection Of double
taxation as is urged against the inher-
itance tax. From the standpoint of both
corporations and investors. It would be
an extremely unwelcome tax. though il
might attract the popular fancy in some
portions Of the country.
The discussion over means Of raising
Federal revenue evidences the increasing
difficulty. often adverted TO by commen-
tators on our taxation systems. Of find
ing sources of national revenue not al
ready taken over by the States. The in
come tax is really the one most impor-
tant source left. though a few OF the
States tax incomes, too. But this tax
could be made TO yield a far larger rev.
enue than either the inheritance tax or
the tax on corporation revenues, and II
could be applied with a greater degree
Of justice than the latter. which would
probably tend TO reduce the incomes Of
small investors. 1t would be a curious
turn Of political fortune which imposed
on a Republican administration the ne
cessity OF adopting an income tax 10 meet
