PUSH THE INHERITANCE TAX N
GEORGIA.

1t is generally reported that bill is
in course of preparation that, if pass
ed, will put Georgia among the grow
ing class of progressive states that
levy an Inheritance tax Representa-
tive Cole, of Barlow, it is stated, will
introduce such a measure, modelled on
those in successful operation in New
York and other states now deriving
large revenue from this source. While
Georgia, of course, cannot hope to
draw such revenues as come to the
Weather states North from the en-
forcement of such law, it is but prop
er for it to recognize the justice of
this tax and proceed to derive such
benefits as may ensure from it's opera
ton.
A recent writer on the subject of an
inheritance tax says that there are
now only ten states that do not resort
to this source of revenue. The inner
itance tax is sometimes opposed on
the ground that it tends to drive cap
ital away from the state. The 10 states
that do not levy this tax are not being
swamped with the capital driven out
of the other 49, 1t is also said that the
taxation of Inheritance discourages in
dustry and thrift. If this be true with
regard to the inheritance tax, is it not
far more true with regard to the tax
on general property? The former IS
levied only once in lifetime, whereas
the latter is levied every year.
Professor Seligman, of Columbia
university, specialist in public fin
ance, says; The Inheritance tax to-
day scarcely needs defense. 1t is
found. in almost every democratic
country, the more developed the tax"
While the general property tax is a
relic of the Middle Ages, a true, pro-
gressive Inheritance tax is an out
growth of modern democracy. When
compared with other means of raising
revenue, the inheritance tax presents
many advantages:
% 1t is perhaps the simplest of all
taxes; it is easily assessed; no prop
erty can escape; differentiation is i'm
practicable; and the tax is readily col
lected while the state is being admin
istered by public authority.
(2) 1t is one of the fairest taxes
unlike licenses and some other taxes,
it cannot be shifted; it adds no burden
to persons Of moderate means who al
ready bear more than their share of
indirect taxes; and the progressive
rates will cause the well-to-do to con-
tribute in proportion to their ability to
pay.
+ (3) The tax is certainly not left by
the testator, as he is dead; and it i'm
poses no real burden on those out Of
whose Inheritance it is paid. 1t falls
on property that goes to the recipient
without effort on his part, and he is
equally grateful for his share whether
the state retains a portion or not.
(4 The administration of the tax
does not necessitate any inquisitorial
methods or lead to evasion by false
swearing and other Objectionable prac-
tees.

There has been a very scant re-
Spouse to the appeal of the Savannah
Morning News, Judge Andrew J. Cobb.
and Congressman VIM. G. Brantlev
that President Wilson signalize his
administration by grasping the first
opportunity 10 appoint the then ex-
president William H. Taft to fill a va
oancy on the United States Supreme
Court bench.
In fact the ger eral tenor Of comment
in the Democratic press has been de-
oidedly and distinctly unfavorable. if
not positively hostile, to the sugges-
ton 1t has been appreciated that the
underlying motive was a desire to rec
ognize President Tafts personal kind
ness to the South, his undoubted de-
sire to show true friendship to this
section, as evidenced in several APP
pointments of prominence, but the
fact is not lost sight of that the SUI
preme court is at present constituted
is top heavy with Republicans, and
that the exercise of such a spirit Of
sentimentality might result in the neu-
tralization of much Of the work Of a
Democratic administration in promot-
ing measures intended to reform ex-
isting evils, economic and otherwise.

COURTESY THAT WOULD BE
POLITICAL FOLLY.

If the president is not to use the
power and influence of his Office to en-
force Democratic policies, but may
prefer to be courteous, why should not
the voters have shown courtesy to
their opponents by preferring to vote
for Mr.. Taft or Mr.. Debs by way of sup
porting the Democratic party? Shall
we give our president a monopoly of
partisan courtesy? BE assured, many
of us will be too courteous to vote the
Democratic ticket when a Democratic
president prefers to appoint Republi-
cans, because he is too courteous to
support his Notwithstanding Times
Union.
