President Believes Inheritance Levies
Should BE State Affair.

While President Coolidge believes
the Federal Government should retire
from the inheritance tax field, leaving
| it to States, he has not determined in
his own mind when it would be advis-
able for Congress to abolish the levy.
At the White House today, where
comment was sought on the Senate
/ finance committee amendment to the
tax bill to abolish the Inheritance tax
1t was made clear that the President
favored the principle of estate taxes,
but is Of the opinion that it should
{ be resorted to by the National Govern
| ment only IN emergencies such as that
| brought about by the World War.
Determination of when the Federal
Government should do away with its
| inheritance tax levy, the President
believes, should be made the subject
! of expert investigation.
1t also was stated that the Presi-
| dent was delighted at the agreement
| reached by the Senate finance COM
| mittee on the revenue bill, and he
| feels that committee members of both
| parties disposed of their task without
show of partisanship, but it was reit-
Grated, that he is uncertain as to the
| possibility of reducing taxes by the
amount provided for in the Senate
bill.
| Its estimated total of $3.50, 900 900. it
was pointed out, is $30.000,000 more
| than the total the House was wiling
| to authorize and about 10000, 900
| more than the surplus estimated by
| the Treasury
While it might be possible to ac-
cept the Senate figure without too
much of a strain on the Treasury, it
| is the Presidents view that difficult
! ties might be encountered if there
was a depression in business which
would result in a decrease In Gov
eminent revenues.
