GREEN APPROVES
PLAN TO ABANDON
INHERITANCE TAX

WASHINGTON. Oct. 24.-En-
doresment of the Delano report,
providing that the federal govern
ment abandon the inheritance field
in six years was personally given
today by Chairman Green of the
house ways and means committee.
This action gave marked impetus
to the program which would have
congress write in its new tax bill
next session a repeal of inheritance
taxes six years hence and immcdi-
ate reduction of the maximum rate
from 10 to - per cent.
In approving the nelano report
Green abandoned his own proposal.
which was in conflict with that of
Secretary Of Me Treasury Mellon.
Report Is Compromise
The Delano report is Il compro-
mise of the stands which have been
taken by Mellon and Green. Mellon
WAS for straight out repeal of the
present federal Inheritance tax i'm.
mcdiatclv5 Green has drawn pro
posal whereby the government
would pay an Inheritance tax in
states where there is ut presents no
inheritance tax, aud would collect
in states whore there is an inheri
tancc tax, the difference between
the federal and state tax.
The new compromise proposal was
submitted to the committee yCSter
day by Frederick 4 Dclmo and
grew out of u conference of y
state representatives called at the
suggestion Of President Coolidge
Its chief feature provides that con
grcSS should Immediately repeal the
present inheritance tax with a pro
vision that il should be effective six
years hence and that in the mean
time the states would be urged tc
adopt Il uniform tax law.
