they should be sufficiently varied and

sirable that the tax should be imposed
as close as possible to the point of con-

The industries affected by the pres

In the 1882 act the graduated estate

20 per cent to As per cent, the exemp-
ton being reduced from 100000 to
10000. The maximum applies on es-
tates above 100000 900. From the
Treasury's viewpoint this tax should
not be increased again. The tax is a
capital levy and the liquidation neces-
sary for the payment to the Govern
ment tends to depress values of SINH

Higher rates might be applied. how

reaction which followed the suggestion

The shrinkage in values of estates has,
Of course. greatly reduced the possibili-
ties for revenue from this source.
Pertinent TO the whole situation with
respect to a new revenue program are
the proposed tax on beer, the possi-
bility Of an ultimate greater source of
revenue following repeal Of the eight
eenth amendment and the extent to
which expenditures are reduced. With

drain on the treasury as result of the

Republicans have gone before the coun-

and emotional as always, are being told
that tyrannical Britain is seeking to
strangle the Free State economically
just at the moment when full political
freedom has been almost won; the very
existence of the Irish republic is at

property taxes. The sales tax, it is
held by its advocates, can be collected
silently and painlessly and therefore, as
part of general system, helps to make
the whole scheme less obnoxious to the
public.
The requisites of a proper tax sys-
tenn include fiscal adequacy economy of

Sity and f1exibility. Under the heavy
burdens now existing upon Federal,
State and local governments, it is de-
sirable that the tax system should be
rs broad and as diversified as possible.
4t is manifestly impossible to make an
accurate adjustment of the aggregate
burden of Federal, State and local taxes
according to the rule of ability to pay.
Uhe indirect taxes, such as sales taxes,
are effective from the Treasurys stand

be considered from the standpoint Of
