ROCKEFELLER TAX
Low DUE TO GIFTS
Estate Largely Transferred
During Life-Ha|f Billion
in Phi|anthropies.
by the Associated Press,

L. H. Parker, chief Of staf1 Of the
Joint Congressional Committee on
Internal Revenue Taxation, expressed
the opinion today that the enormous
philanthropies Of John d. Rockefeller.
sr., will leave little to be collected for
Federal estate taxes.
Parker based his opinion on 1929
Internal revenue report TO Congress
which he said disclosed that the f1nan-
pier, who died early today In Florida,
paid only $l2,03603 in income taxes
In 1922. This sum represented the
lax on his net income, after deduc-
lions OF various refunds.
This small tax" Parker said,
would indicate that Mr.. Rockefeller's
lncome-producing property has been
largely transferred to his heirs or to
his numerous charitable foundations.
"The point which it seems we'll to
consider is that the Federal estate
tax will not produce much revenue in
this case"
Out of fortune variously esti-
mated to range from $1,O00,OOO, 900
w pG,1oo,OOO,Ooo, 4tOlAclCllel gave
away about 100000 to charities,
foundations, educational and religious
organizations.
The report to the Congressional
Committee on Internal Revenue in
1929 in discussing the Rockefeller es-
tate, Parker said, pointed out that
The result of not taxing gifts
Is to leave the door wide open for the
avoidance Of the estate tax in the case
OF all our citizens who have accumu-
lated great wealth."
Congress amended the internal rev.
enue laws in 1885 to provide for a
Federal tax on gifts.
Federal tax authorities said it would
be impossible to estimate taxes from
the Rockefeller estate until a return
Is filed, but on purely mathematical
calculation, without allowing for
Rockefeller philanthropies, they said
q l,oo0,000,oo0 estate would be sub
3ect to more than $50O,OO0,OO in
Federal inheritance taxes.
Inheritances over $4,000, 900 are
subject to 10 per cent levy.
