INHERITANCE TAX At a conference representatives of 46 states recently held n Washington, the- proposed repeal Federal Inheritance taxes developed a war discussion. One group of economists headed by Mr. Mellon, Secretary of the rreasury, believes the tax is, a Socialistic or anti-capitalistic-weapon designed to break up vast private fortunes, and another group, headed by Prof. Frederick Cleveland, economist of the Boston Univenvity, believes that the capitalistic idea has been carried too far and that the tendency to concentrate industry and wealth will ultimately destroy the nation. This bloc of taxatio<nists holds that ’apital, as manifested m inherited wealth, should be heavily taxed, because t*hh heirs had little or no part in its accumulation. The federal estate tax is one levied directly against the decedent’s estate and not agaii».<n. the legacies and inheritances bv

heirs as is the case in the operation of the inheritance tax laws of tee various states. All estates over $50,000 are taxed by the Government on a sliding scale as follows: One per cent on the first $50,000 over the $50,000 exemption: two per cent on the next $50,000; 3 per cent ?n thn next, and so on up to the limit of the estate, or until 35 per cent has been, reached. It so happens that in the ease of a $10.000,000 estate the progression will stop at 35 percent.
