DEMANDS VOICED
FOR TAX REVISION
Move Made for Repeal of
Estate Levy-U. S. Cham
ber Outlines Program.

While delegates from % States were
meeting yesterday at the Raleigh
Hotel to draw up program for
formation of a national council Of
State Legislatures, whose first move
will be to seek repeal of the in
heritance tax provision Of the revenue
law. the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States issued a statement de-
claring that an insistent demand for
revision of Federal taxes is making
itself known from many sections Df
the country.
Lee Satterwhite, former speaker of
the Texas Legislature and chairman
of the meeting which adopted a plan
Of organization for the State Legisla-
ture Council. announced that the
House ways and means committee will
give the council two days at its meet
ing the first week in November TO
present its case for repeal of the
Federal estate tax.
In addressing the gathering, just
prior to adoption of a set of declara-
tions and an organization plan for the
national council, Mr.. Satterwhite de-
clared the Federal dominion now ex-
tends over virtually all OF some
branches Of State governments and Is
descending like cloud without even
the poor pretext of a financial part
nership" over others.
Recommendation Outlined.
The statement by the national chanl-
ber was issued by Lewis I. Pierson,
it's president. He said 1t was clear
from correspondence coming to the
chamber that the problems OF Federal
taxation, particularly the chambers
advocacy of a reduction in the cor.
poration income tax rate, was receiv-
ing more attention by business men
everywhere than another public ques'
ton.
He outlined the following definite
recommendations which the chamber
will advocate at the coming session OF
Congress for immediate aid to the tax
payer:
Reduction of the corporation income
tax, repeal of the Federal estate tax,
repeal of the war excise taxes levied
on particular businesses, simplification
of both law and administration gov
erning the internal revenue system,
revision of provisions of the statute
affecting the income accruing from In
stallment selling, establishment and
maintenance of a reasonable balance
between Federal revenues and ex-
penditures, ample facilities ana oppor-
tunity for a thoroughgoing study OF
all phases of taxation and tax admin
istration by the joint congressional
committee.
Other Tax Plans Considered.
Other phases of taxation reform also
are under consideration, although not
regarded as of so pressing nature as
the items already listed. These in
clude: Decentralization Of income tax
administration, no deviation from the
present policy Of applying to retire
ment of the national debt the repay
ments received from foreign govern
ments, avoidance of retroactive provi-
sions Of the law which operate to the
disadvantage Of the taxpayer who acts
in good faith. amendment Of these Sec
tions of the statute containing the
statutory time limit affecting tax
cases.

Bernal came to his death on Novem-
Der 4, 1925, while he and Blackburn
were making a business trip over the
Globe-Rice- Stafford highway. Black
burn has maintained throughout that
his partner lost control Of the machine
and that it plunged off the road at a
point near the San Carlos bridge.
The state contended at the TRIAL in
Graham county superior court that the
Mesa rancher struck his partner on the
head several times with large rock,
threw the dying man over the embank-
ment and then pushed the motor car
off the highway, making it appear as
though a crash had occurred and Ber-
nal had received fatal injuries in the
accident.
Most damaging to the defense at the
Graham county trial was the testimony
of purporting Indian eyewitness,
who described in detail through an in

murder.
