Inheritance Tax Plan.

The recommendation for a change II
the inheritance tax laws arc rccited a
follows:
We believe that In estates OF mod
crate amount where tho property goes
TO immediate relatives, the rate is
too high. Our present law is unclassi-
fed and nonprogrcssive. buJ provides
for straight per cent tax on All
amounts over 10000. whether the
beneficiary is the widow OF the de-
ceased or a nonresident allen OF no
blood relation. In our judgment there
is no question but that the tax should
be classified. according 10 the degrees
OF rela ationship OF the heir of the de-
ceased. and progressive according 10
the amount received By him from the
estate.
The members OF the board are
unanimously of the opinion ihat an
income tax, efficiently and thorough
IL administered. is the best and most
equitable system OF taxation that can
be devised, but suggests that intro
duction here he deferred until eN-
periments b. other states have pro-
gressed.

GAYNOR STIRS ALDERMAN.
Bedar Calls Mayors Talk Cheap,
Mean and Dishonest.

Mayor Gaynor's talk before the New
York Newsdealers Association on Thurs
day night at Eldorado Hall. in which he
said that yearly graft of 81 5000 was
being paid by newsdealers to Aldermen.
brought a fiat denial yesterday from Al
derman Becker. Alderman Becker defends
the board and says that the mention Of
his name at the meeting was cheap. mean,
clumsy and dishonest" Alderman Becker
In his statement says.
This is my second term as Alderman
from the Fifteenth district The incident
to which the Mayor refers occurred al
most Immediately after my first election
and all its details have been known to
him for almost three years Prior to my
first election newsstand at Ninety
third street and Columbus avenue was
owned and conducted by man In the
name of his wife.
An application was made to me for a re.
newal of the license. Upon investigation ]
ascertained that this man was the owner
OF real estate, that he was a member OF
the Consolidated Stock Exchange and
doing business there. and It was my opin-
ion that other and needier persons were
more entitled to this privilege than this
well to do gentleman asking for II behind
his wife's skirts. l refused my consent to
the application.
Mayor Gaynor sent for me and said
that in other years prior to my election
these people had paid money for that
privilege. He did not suggest that ! or
any one in my behalf had made demands
upon them
Mayor Gaynor has no ground for the
insinuation which his use OF my name was
Intended to suggest / repeat that It was
an act OF q cowardly slanderer who was
trying to attract attention from his failure
TO perform his own duty In another mat
ter.
William Merican, president OF the News
dealers Association said last night that
the Mayors statements about the Alder
men were true. He added:
am willing to take the stand and back
UP Mayor Gaynor in everything he said.
His talk about graft is the truth.
Mr.. Merican owns a news stand st 443
Amsterdam avenue. which is in Alderman
Becher's district. Mr.. Merican said that
he knew of two owners OF news stands
in Eighty-sixth street who had to pay
81 ,0OO for their licenses.
