WHAT 1T MEANS;
Reduction In Estate
Taxes Under The
New u. S. Laws
b ALEXANDER R. GEORGE

4AA4AA1A2A4tAtNllG AZ O-A4OA&OA
WASHINGTON - Huge cuts in
Federal Tax on some big estates
will result from the tax law recent
ly enacted by Congress. For a $1O,-
100000 estate there is a possible
reduction in tax from $6,088 200 to
For a $4,000, 600 estate,
the potential tax cut is from $1,263-
200 to s528, 200.
Many sizable estates which under
the old law would be taxable will
be entirely exempt from federal
tax. (This, of course, is entirely
separate from state Inheritance
taxes.) Compared with the income
tax cut under the new law, the es-
tate tax slash affects only few
families, and only under certain
condition. That's because every es-
tate has a 100000 exemption from
federal tax after debts have been
raid and state inheritance tax de-
Quoted.
Estate tax reductions under the
new law are brought about by al
loWance of marital deductions"
under certain conditions. There
must be a surviving spouse for an
estate to get this deduction. The es-
tate Of widowed or unmarried
person does not get the deduction
and the resulting tax cut. Whether
a marital deduction is allowed also
depends upon the nature of the be-
quest to the spouse. For example,
if surviving wife gets a life in
terest with the provision that it
goes to her children when she dies,
the deduction is not allowed.
The maximum allowable deduc-
ton depends upon the amount will
ed the surviving spouse. If there is
no will, it depends upon the size oi
her share in the estate as fixed by
state law. The new laws require
ments for allowable deductions are
very complicated. Persons whose
estates may be affected are being
advised to obtain the counsel of fl
pancial and legal experts on Wills
and trusts agreements.
Here are some sample cases o
how the new law works: Johl
Jones dies, leaving an estate o
S120,000. That's the estates valu

Levy Court be given more discre-
tion ID the appropriation Of county
funds for relief and welfare ser
vice. At the present time, the State
Old Age Welfare Commission has
authority TO draw blank check
on the funds Of this county for re-
lief work. Because of this situa-
tlon It is almost Impossible to pre-
pare a budget of this county be-
cause we do not know the exact
amount we win be called upon to
pay for relief in this county There
should be some limit of appropri-
alton and / do not think that any
board or commission should have
authority to expend the funds of
this county without the consent of
the Levy Court. For your infor-
nation this county will expend the
sum Of S95,50O.00 for public, vel
fare and can only say that this
is a tremendous sum for this coun-
ty to expend, considering the pros-
perity that is existing in the coun-
try today
In preparing the estimate for
the budget, Mr.. Whitney outlined
the possible receipts of the county
during the nexts fiscal year in the
following order: Taxes at 40c per
$4,000, $240,00O00; capitation
taxes at Si.0O, 100000; fines and
costs, $4,500.00. and from fees, the

rec0rder of deeds, $40, 10000; sher-
ih, $4,000; clerk Of the peace, ST.
000.00; other receipts, $3,500.00,
making total OF 1892 ,250.00. In
addition TO the foregoing receipts
there viii be added the estimated
total OF a $15 100000 surplus IN the
general fund on July /, 1948, max
ing the total sum available to thG
county, $S47 ,25000, for the com.
ing fiscal year
The estimated expenditures o.
the county for all county purposes
totals $371, 1864 90, making a de
felt IN the county budget Of $24,
$4,000.
In calling attention to the esti
mated deficit, Mr.. Whitney stated
eThe financial condition of tn
county is such that there is no ne
cessity at this time, to increas
the tax rate OF this county owe
the tax rate of the last taxabl
year. The deficit Of $24,546.00 ca

deduction taken for state inheri-
tance tax payment. Jones has will
ed all his property outright to his
wife. Under the old law, the es-
tate would pay a federal tax of S9,-
500 on 100000. The other 100000
would be exempt from federal tax.
Under the new law, there would
be no federal tax on the Jones es-
tate That's because there would be
a maximum so per cent marital de-
duction, amounting to 100000 and
the remaining 100000 would be ex-
empt from tex. Suppose Jones
leaves $4,000 outright to his wife
and $4,000 to his children. Only
the $4,000 is allowed as marital
deduction. Then 100000 of the $780,
600 is exempt from Federal Tax
and there is a tax of $1,000 on the
remaining $4,000.
Say Jones leaves the entire $120,-
900 in trust fund with the interest
to go to his widow during her life
time and The principal of the fund
to go to the children upon her
death. In that case no marital de-
duction is allowed. The tax is the
same as under the old law.
Because of this situation, per-
sons whose estates may be affected
are being advised to have wills ant
trust arrangements studied with &
view to possible revision.
The rates of federal estate taxes
are not changed by the new law
They range from 3 per cent to q
per cent of the value of the taxabl'
part of the estate The tax on +;
$65,000 estate is $3.50, the 3 per cen
applying to the $4,000 above tn,

terlo1. AT that time, 1t was re-
cognized that there were no
funds with which to pay the
employees necessary to re-
place those who had been on
the Navy payroll as well as to
discharge certain other expens
eS of the government which
had been paid out of Navy APP
preparations. Consequently,
these salaries and expenses
were included in the appro-
,priation for the Department of
the Interior and since that
time have been paid from De-
|partment Of the Interior funds.
The figures applicable to st.
ICroix from these funds for
each of the past FIVE years
amounted to approximately
100000 annually. This amount
is in addition to the annual de-
Ificit appropriations.
Aside from the deficit APP
preparation there was approe-
Ipriated for this year a total of
I$259,278.60 for the payment of
salaries of federal employees
and certain other expenses for
the Virgin Islands as a whole.
When the deficit appropriation
is added to this, it makes a
total contribution Of $3.50, 478.
I60. If the total deficit appro-
lpriation is granted, the total
for the year will be approx
$500, 900. In other
words, the federal appropria-
|tion for the year 1947 for the
operation of the Virgin Islands
governments amounts to APP
|~proXimately one-third Of the
total revenue raised locally,
including the federal income
tax, for the same purposes. AS
applied to the Municipality of
st. Croix alone, the figures are
even more surprising. The fed
eral appropriations for Saint
|Croix purposes, excluding any
deficit appropriation. are equal
to almost so per cent of the
amount estimated to be raised
locally. If the full amount of
the deficit appropriation re-
|quested is granted, the total
contribution for oper-
ating purposes will be greater
than the revenue raised local

HIGHLIGHTS
Of the REPORT on the
FISCAL AFFAIRS
of the Municipality of ST. croix
Virgin Islands
Continued from Yesterdays
Import and Export Duties


The import duty is comput-
ed, in accordance with the Or
ganic Act, at the rate of 6 per
cent on all importations sub
jectto the tax. The export dut-
les, which were collected orr
ginally in accordance with old
Danish law, are still in effect
on certain products such as mo
lasSeS, rum, cotton, and cot
tonseed. These duties produce
relatively small revenues at
the present time. Until 1871
there was an export duty on
sugar, which accounts for the
large drop in the receipts from
the import and export duties
after 1912.
Business Licenses
The business licenses cover
practically all types of profess
sional, commercial, and other
business activities, and include
liquor licenses.
Police and Court Fees
This class of revenue items
includes a long list of fees to
be charged for various SER
vices performed by the courts,
sheriffs, constables, notaries
public, and the police.

Support of Institutions
These revenues represent re-
endorsement from the Munich
pality of ST. Thomas and St.
John for its proportionate
share of the cost of maintain
ing inmates in the leper asy-
lum, the Kings Hill Home, and
the Richmond Penitentiary.
Telephone Revenues
The amounts included in this
classification are principally
the rental rates charged to sub
scribers of the st. Croix tele-
phone service.
Other Taxes and
Miscellaneous Revenues
Grouped together in this
classification are a large va
riety of fees and revenues. In
cluded are such items as ships
dues, wharfage charges, docu-
mentary stamp dues, vendee
fees and percentages, taxes on
inheritances, refunds Of ex-
penditures and various depart
mental fees for services rem
dered, including the charges
for night soil removal service.
Federal Financial Aid
To the Virgin Islands
The appropriations made by
the Congress to finance the de
ficits of the Municipality Of
st. Croix and, in earlier years,
the deficits of the Municipality
of St. Thomas-St. John have
provoked a great deal of dis
cussion. However, these deficit
appropriations actually repre-
sent only a portion of the
funds made available by. the
Congress for financing the
operations of the two munich
palities and of the central gov
eminent.
When the Virgin Islands
were taken over by the Unit
ed States in 1917, the admin
stration of the municipal gov
ernments and of the central
government was assigned to.
the Navy. During this admin
stration there were many Ma

Take time to save time

Have YOU ever niapped-wth pins and thread, or
with pencil on paper-the daily 'chore route of
your farm or ranch? Have you figured how much
back tracking you do, how many unnecessary extra
steps you walk in day? Have you taken time to
save time, and steps, and labor?
A number of agricultural colleges and experiment
stations have made practical work studies farms
and ranches, with some astounding results. For
example, one dairy farmer (who thought himself
pretty efficiently adopted improved machine milk
ing techniques, rearranged his barn to save steps
and time in feeding and watering. He saved him-
self two miles of walking per day, cut his daily
chore time by two hours and five minutes. That

try IF one part of the livestock-meat industry
suffers continued loss, all of us are hurt in the
long run +r .
However, margin of profit fair to one
section of the lvestock-meat industry might
be quite unfair to another. For instance, we
at Swift & Company know perfectly well that
both livestock producers and retailers require
a higher margin of profit, because of their
relatively small volume. On the other hand,
nationwide meat packers must build up a tre-
mendous volume of sales to make up for very
small margin of profit per unit-a margin that
has been consistently lower than that earned
byany other industry III America.
Over a period of years., Swift & Company
has earned, on the average, less than two cents
on each dollar of sales "a fraction of cent per
pound of product handled). Over the same
period, the average amount returned to pro-
ducers for agricultural raw materials, including
livestock, wool and hiles, has been IS cents
out of each dollar we received. This is not
