ATTACK ON NEW TAX LAWS
WILL RUIN STATE CREDIT,
ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, June A.
Attorney General Frank W. McAllis-
ter yesterday wired F. B. Brady,
President of the ChiIlicothe Chamber
Of Commerce, that the reference of
any Of the tax laws enacted by the
Forty-ninth General Assembly would
ruin the credit Of the State.
MeAllister sent this telegram in re-
Ply to a message from Brady saying
petitions were in circulation there to
tie up the tax commission bill and
some Of the other new tax laws.
The attorney general pointed out
that the payment Of more than $1,000
600 in debts is dependent upon the
operation Of the new tax laws, and
that it is unpatriotie, when money is
needed for the mobilization Of the ma
tional guard to defend the country,
to attempt to strip the state of its re-
sources and credit.
"The inheritance tax law provides
large exemptions TO widows, children
and other relatives. The income tax is
a moderate measure with liberal ex-
emptions and is recognized by people
Of the United States as a fair method
of taxation" McAllister said. "The
State Tax Commission will not raise
assessments, but is intended to equal
ize some between individuals and un-
cover property now escaping taxa
ton. The State will appreciate your
active assistance" the telegram con-
tinued.
MeAllister said enemies of the in
heritance tax law, who are trying Ia
get petitions to suspend it, have
spread abroad throughout the State
the erroneous impression that there
are no exemptions. He pointed out
in the law exemptions of widows to
$4,000 and to children of $4,000
each. Liberal exemptions likewise
are made for other relatives before
the tax is applicable.
