FEDERAL INHERITANCE
TAX REPEAL is URGED
Experts Ask That Levy Be Left
to States and Not Be Redis-
tribution of Wealth.

By the Associated Press.
SALT LAKE CITY, October q
Recommendation of the National
Committee on Inheritance and Es-
tate Taxes, appointed by the Ma
tional Tax Association, at the sug-
gestion of President Coolidge. were
outlined yesterday by William Bailey.
a member of the committee. Mr..
Bailey is former president of the as
sociation and also former chairman
of the Utah State Board of EqualiZa
tion and Assessment.
The committee recommends, MIR.
Bailey said, that the inheritance tax
be applied for revenue purposes only
and in no sense as a means for the
redistribution of wealth.
A second recommendation is that
the Federal Government Immediately
withdraw from the inheritance tax
field, and leave it for the States alone,
unless Congress should find that for
financial reasons it is necessary
to retain this source of revenue for
some time. or that by means of con-
greSsional legislation some uniformity
in rates may be effected among the
States.
III such event, the committee sug-
gests that the Federal Government
might remain in the inheritance tax
field for a period not to exceed six
years.
