MERRITT OPPOSES
 ]. 5. ESTATE TAX
Invasion of States Rights, Stamford Representative Says
BY GEORGE II. MANNING

BY GEORGE H. MANNING
 Washington Bureau Of the N. B. Herald)
 Washington. D. C., Dec. 16-The federal estate tax is a glaring eX- ample of the invasion by the federal government Of states rights, Repre- sentative Schuyler Merritt of Stam- ford told the house of representa- lives in urging the repeal Of the tax.
 Discussing the economic and con- stitutional objections to federal es- state of inheritance tax during de bate iu the house, the congressman said
 The economic ground Is well uu- derstood-that the tendency Of es- tate taxes is 10 use accumulated capital estate for current expenses, which Is economic waste. The legal of constitutional ground is equally vel understood that the right to hold property and to dispose of it by will depends on the law of the states and not on the United States, and there fore the tax should be left to the states.
 If, under the necessities of war, the United States steps in and levies taxes on estates despie these econ omic and constitutional objections, there Is certainly no excuse for the United States to lay these taxes in time of peace.
 But at present, even beyond these reasons which are basic and which exist at all times, 1t appears to me that on objection even more im- portant appears in the reasons given by the committee and those favoring 1t for continuing the tax at this time. The reasons given are thac if the United States does not impose this tax then the state in many cases will not, and that there will be a race among the states for talk ing off the estate tax which will result in social injustice.
 Now obviously if those are the reasons, 1t seems that we are con- tinuing this tax. not for the purpose of revenue, but for certain social purposes, under the urge of those who fear the evils of large estates, and therefore think that part ay least of these estates should be taken away from the heirs and thus avoid danger to the social fabric. Thert- fore, the United States through its congres Is undertaking to coerce the states and legislatures by federal legislation in regard to state legis- lation on estate taxes.
 It appears to me that If there is or ever has been any clear invasion by the United States of the soverign rights of the states. this is a very glaring example. If the United States can legislate so as to force the states into a certain line of legis- lation on estates, of course they can do it in other directions"
 Representative Merritt declared that If the United States can at tempt tp. force Connecticut to pass esate tax laws, 1t could similarly at tempt to force the state to adopt ar income tax or certain excise taxes
 He read into the record the reso- lution of the Connecticut legislature in favor of the repeal of the inherit ance tax.

HEBREW RELIEF SOCIETY
IS NEAR |, 600 MEMBERS
Drive This Week to Be intensified
to Get Budget and Pay Up
1925 Deficit.


Nearly a thousand people have be-
come members of the United Hebrew
Relief Society since the beginning of
the society's enrolment campaign.
Tomorrow will start the second week
of the intensive campaign and the
leaders have urged the workers on
the teams to double their efforts so
that all prospective members will be
enrolled by the end of the week.
The campaign heads are anxious
not only to list all the Jews in Wash
ington In the society's membership,
but also to have the new members
join for as large amounts as they
are able. Members are permitted to
set their own annual dues, the mini
mum being Sc a year.
Last year the society received $15,-
600 in dues from its membership and
according to Mrs. Charles A. Gold
smith, chairman of the campaign
committee, three times this amount
will be necessary to carry out the
society's relief program for 1927.
In an appeal sent to all Jews in the
city the campaign committee stressed
the fact that adequate funds and a
representative membership must be OBJ
tained by the society if the relief
work is to continue. Due to the in
adequacy of last years receipts the
society Is at present $4,000 in debt,
this deficiency having been under
written by small group interested
in the society's work. This amount
will have to be repaid. while the 1927
budget also must be obtained.
The Hebrew Relief Society's aim is
to give the necessary assistance to
all cases of poverty and need among
the Jewish population in Washing
ton, making it unnecessary for other
charitable organizations to help these
cases.
