But recently when the will opened it found that
codc had been added which changed all this This codc
dated July 81 1884 In it, Mr. Straus explained why he revoked
the earlier bequess His carefully guarded words were
follows
THE present Federal and State estate laws impose
substantially increased burdens the estates of de-
cedens and under certain conditions undue hard
ship and financial sacrifice and loss resulting from unmey
sale and liquidation Of estates provide for the
payment of such taxes.
The increased estate taxes the estates of decedents
are devoted in large part to governmental social programs
Under the circumstances existing deem advisable
to cancel and revoke the bequests."
Expressed legastc language and including what lies
between the lines" this codc says that:
Something happened between May 1888 and July, 1884
that affected the desiraby of willing securities to those out
side his family.
2. This part increase in inheritance taxes
which threaten the value of the bequest
3. The increase the however only part of the
change In addition the when collected had to be
devoted to Government social programs.
In other words by July 1884 Mr. Straus could clearly

NRA and AAA. This development he considered serious
to mention it in his last will and testament and to present

1t is, in reality, solemn protest

that the huge spending policy of the New Deal is hurting
