OFFICE OF STATE
AUDITOR FAVORED
BILL TO STRENGTHEN INHERIT
ANcE LAWS REPORTED FAVOR
! ABLY BY THE COMMITTEE
STATE NEWS OF INTEREST
Brief News Items Gathered Here And
} There From All Section OF
The State

Atlanta.-The senate committee on
appropriations, in session recently
recommended to pass two important
pieces of legislation-the first a bill
by Senator Cone, Of the forty.ninth,
which will greatly strengthen the in
heritance tax laws of the state, and
the other measure by Senator Manson,
of the thirtyfifth, creating the office
of state auditor.
Senator Cone stated that the state
tax commissioner, was strongly in
favor of measure to allow him to
collect for the state all inheritance
taxes that fall due. The bill includes
in the property upon which inheritance
tax is due all property, regardless of
whether it is within the jurisdiction
of the state or not. At present, prop
erty outside the jurisdiction of the
state Is exempted from state inherit
ance taxes. 1t also provides that the
state tax commissioner shall have au.
thority to appoint agents to see that
proper return is made onsestates. and
that these agents shall receive a com.
mission or not more than Is per cent
of the revenue they secure for the
state.
Tax Commissioner Fulbright appear
ed before the committee in the inter
est of the bill. He declared that for
the past year less than half of the
counties of the state have made any
returns at all upon estates on which
inheritance taxes are due. This state
of affairs he declared to be due to
the fact that the county ordinaries are
very negligent in checking up in
heritance taxes, and that he had no
way to look into the matter from his
office.
BY putting inheritance taxes upon
property outside of the Jurisdictions
Of the state, Commissioner Fulbright
declared that the state would get a
large increase in revenue. He cited
one case of a man recently leaving
an estate of $S,O0O,OOO of which only
$1,OOO,OO0 was in the jurisdiction of
the state and could be taxed.
Senator Manson's bill creates the
office of state auditor to be appointed
by the governor for a term of two
years, and to receive a salary of $4,000
a year This auditor must make an
audit of each department of the state
at least once a year, the bill provides
