Most of the remaining Federal
war taxes probably will be swept
out of existence by Congress in De.
cember.
The Treasury, it was learned to-
day, will agree to this program
which would slash government
revenues about $3.50, 200, 900 annually
Taxes regarded as slated for the
axe are those on admissions to thea.

mentary stamp taxes, excise taxes
on the sale OF new automobiles and
possibly the estate tax.
Officials estimate that within d
few years the estate tax will yield
less than $25.000, 900 annually to the

G|LL|OM SCORES
WATERWAY ACT
Says Assumption viii Be
ignored by States.

That Senate concurrent resolu-
ton No. 3, appearing on Page 1853,
Acts of 1927, is "misconceived both
in fact and law and will be disre-
garded." is the announcement made
by Attorney General Arthur l.. Gil
liom in letter to Governor Jackson
today.
The resolution, introduced by SEN
ator William F. Hodges, Gary, di-
reefs the Attorney General to with
draw the State of Indiana from the
Chicago sanitary district case, thus
placing the State on record as favor
ing the Lake-to-Gulf, rather than st.
Lawrence, deep waterway.
Favoring Waterway
In the letter Gilliom asserts this
administration, as former admins
trations, is on record as favoring
the Lake .to-Gulf waterway: that In
diana and Michigan filed briefs in
the Supreme Court case of Wiscon-
sin against Illinois and the Chicago
sanitary district "by leave of the
court, to decide legal questions az
fecting this State, in the waters of
Lake Michigan and other of the
Great Lakes
His Opinion
His opinion is that the resolution
is an assumption Of administrative
powers by the Legislature and will
be ignored.
Neither the dignity of these
States nor the dignity and authority
of the highest court of the land
would permit or suffer the effrontery
involved in an attempt to withdraw
this brief" the letter says.
