ONE STATE OR AS?

COME Of the governors who are endeay-
- oring TO stampede congress into abol-
ishing the federal inheritance tax have
failed, perhaps, to consider every phase OF
the subject. The idea that the states should
collect the inheritance tax naturally appeals
to them. Some may have hidden away IN
their minds the notion that, once the fed
eral tax is removed. they can remove the
state tax also and so attract millionaire
taX-dodgers, as Florida is so proud OF nav
ing done. OF course, all the states can do
that If there is any advantage in II.
But there are certain states, at least,
that should do a bit Of thinking before they
follow the lead of their governors. These
are the numerous states Of large natural re-
sources which are now being developed or
exploited by outside capital. When the
big eastern capitalist dies what state VIII
collect the inheritance tax on his estateP
Not the western, middle-western or south
ern state out of which his wealth came, but
the state in which he maintains his resi-
dence. a few states could collect the bulk
of all such inheritance taxes.
One essential element in the theory be-
hind the inheritance tax is this: That
some men by foresight, energy and for
tunate circumstance turn the natural re-
sources of the country TO their W flnan-
cial gain. They amass huge fortunes. This
is considered fair enough. They have the
vision, the courage, the intelligence and
are entitled to the reward. But they die.
in due time. Then the right of their rela-
tives to all that these pioneers have gar
nered is questioned. The pioneers claim.
according to this theory, passes to some
extent with his passing. His wealth has
come from the soil and the people; part of
it, at least. properly goes back to the soil
and the people. Draining huge fortunes
from the rest of the country for the per-
petual use of idle families in New York or
Palm Beach is not sound national eco
Monies.
II seems the fairest of all taxes to assess
some of this unearned wealth for the needs
of the nation. The people have come to be-
lieve so, despite silly labels, such as tomb
stone tax" that opponents have applied.
1t is a sound tax and q fair tax. The
only question is whether it should be COL
lected by the government or by the states.
There is talk of states rights, but some
states will never get their right to a part of
their wealth through a state tax. New
York will collect on fortunes made in Al
other states.

DEDICATED TO TAFT

MAY we not suggest TO Chief Justice

like other reforms, should begin nj the

does not lie with the multitude of poor

Justice Taft's distinguished Bar a~ssocia-
