Babson Points Qut, Inconsistencies and Dangers of the Present System of Taxing Inheritances SSABSON PARK, Mass., Dec. 13.— Roger W. Babson has added a new @ngle to the current discussion , of tax revision. In a statement issued today the statistician calls atten- tion to a tax situation demanding ettention and meriting revision. / “Unreasonable or exhorbitant tax- ation ordinarily gets the attention ef the tax payer because the situa- ‘ion is brought home’ to him forcibly When he must pay such a'tax,” says Mr. Babson. “We have a form of tax, however, which does not come ‘under this rule and yet should have Most careful thought and attention. A situation exists in our estate and inheritance taxes as they are levied nd administered, today - which threatens to cut down, perhaps total- 2y destroy, a man’s honest and life @ong efforts to provide suffictently for his family. i “These taxes, both federal and mtate, are individually sound and for tax the securities of a foreign corp- oration willed to a foreign heir if the transfer office of the corporation is within the state. Others levy taxes on the transfer of securitie of any corporation déing business within the states’no matter where it is organized, where the securities are held or where the heir resides. Securities held in ‘a safety dpoait vault in crtain states are subject to taxes by the state for that reason alone. “To illustrate the difficulty aris- ing from this overlapping of taxes we might take a block of railroad stock on which the federal estate tax-must be paid because it is a part of the original estate. This stock in being transferred to an heir might be subject to a tax in the state) of residence, to a tax in the several states In which the: railroad was tn- corporated, to a tax in the state where the, legal transfer office. of Kennecott Copper Limo Locomotive Northern Pacific --.-.
