INHERITANCE TAX

An innovation in Inc South Caro-
lima tax system was started in the pas
sage by the Senate OF the inheritance
tax.
The Advertiser is indisposcd to OK
press itself definitely at this writing
on the proposed law since it is yet
subject TO amendments which may
make it unpopular, In principle how
ever, we believe in and endorse a mod
crate tax on inhcritances.
There is one undsputed advantage
in the proposed taX-that it does not
impose a burden on anyone: on the
contrary, it offers through its revenue
relief to those quarters at present oy-
crtaXcd.
1t is no moro unjust to deprive an
heir Of part Of his property than it is
for the state to adopt any other meas
urc OF taxation. 1t is rather more
reasonable and right to tax an inherit
ance since that property has received
during the life time of the owner ali
the protection which the state could
give IT,

FORD DELIVERS
SIGNED CONTRACT
Negotiations with War Department at
End. Weeks VIII Report.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Four develop
marked progress today in the Muscle
Shoals negotiations and brought to a
close the negotiations between war de-
partmcnt officials and representatives
OF Henry Ford which have extended
over period OF more than six months.
w. B. Mayo, acting for Mr. Foi d.,
delivered the signed contract proposal
for purchase and lease Of the nitrate
and water power projects made by the
Detroit manufacturer to the war sec
rotary in the afternoon, thus termi-
mating the negotiations between the
department and Mr. Ford.
Senator Underwood Of Alabama
after conference with Secretary
Weeks, during which he asked approv-
al of the contract, announced that he
was quite sure the secretary would
submit a report to congress express
ing friendly Endorsement" OF the
document and proposal it embodied.
Secretary Weeks continued work of
drafting the report for congress and
informed callers at the department
that he would submit the document
and report at the same time, probably
Monday Of next week.
Although the negotiations between
the war department and Mr.. Ford were
concluded today, the department still
faces work on the Muscle Shoals ques-
ton from two other angles.
These icludc the offers OF Fred
crick Engstrum Of Wilmington, NJ c.,
and G. {. Tinker, Of San Francisco,
both Of (which are in the process of
modification by their makers and have
been made subject OF an announcement
by Secretary Weeks to the effect that
they would be submitted to congress
after they were given final form and
had been carefully studied by him and
war department engineers.

THE FORD OFFER
give it,.

The problem Of Henry ForQ's offer
for Muscle Shoals resolves itself into
the question whether the people ,f the
United States are going to foot the
Eill for the wartime construction Of
the big river dam or whether the for
tiliZcr manufacturers are to pay for il.
If the government accepts the Ford
proposition correctly, that the farmers
may be able to secure nitratcS at less
cost than they do from manufactur-
Crs Mr.. Ford being able to operate his
plant at low cost because the people
will have already paid for it's building,
Mr.. Ford paying for only part Of it.
This, Of course, acts as a subsidy to
Mr. Ford
While tho farmers and the public are
thus making use Of their investment,
getting probably reasonable return,
the fertilizer people, who are taX-pay-
ers as we'll as any Of us, and who
employ. ;s ha-Gc nnmher cf ether tax
payers, will have their business and
properties either wiped out or scri-
