Stmr James S. Higgins, Higgins, Port WILL URGE AN INCREASE - OF TAX ON ESTATES. After debate on section after sec- tion of the collaterat inheritance tax act as it is proposed for amendment by the “joint committee on call for special session of the Legislature,” the members of the committee finally adopted for presentation to the Legis- lature the proposed act raising the per- centages of taxation on estates. 3 The new act will leave the taxation on the estates left to Widows and chil- f the deceased the same as it v, and will not change the figures xemption of such estates from taxation. The amenaments originally templated the deubling of the taxa- »ach of these matters, but the of W. J. Herrin and Garret McEnerney overruled the recommend- ations of State Attorney General S. Webb. The other recomniendations in objection .00 } regard to the amending of the collat- eral inheritance tax were adopted by the committee over the negative vote of McEnerney, who held out for no change of the existing act. The view taken by the committee was that the moral duty of a husband or father to support widow or children | should not be cause for taxation, but that a small increase of taxation should be made on estates going to brother or sister, uncle, aunt or | nephew. A ten per cent increase was | proposed on | | | Los Angeles Stmr Brunswick, Ellefsen, Fort Bragg. Stmr Chehalis, Johonnson, San Pedro.

In objecting McEnerney declared that the higher tax rate made the cost of dying excessive, and that peo- ple would choose-other States in which to meet their finish with less expense. He argued against the increase of the collateral inheritance tax, but was opposed by the rest of the commit- with the statement that the tax was the least felt, caused least friction, and that it was urgently needed to provide the State with funds. Mr. McEnerney then moved that the moneys realized from the increased in- heritance tax be applied to the funds of the county in whicn the deceased resided. He maintained that San Francisco, with her large fortunes, would provide over one-half the reve- nue so derived. but would draw only one-quarter of the State appropria- tion. This was opposed by the com- mittee with the statement that San Francisco's wealth in large fortunes had proportionately decreased, and The act as sub- equently amended was re-referred to a committee for redrafting. TAX ON CORPORATIONS. Regarding the tax on corporations, which Attorney General Webb sug- gested should be amended so that the tax for ¢olng business should be in- creased from $10 to $50 and on de- linquent corporations from $5 to $25, the committee made two changes. The at An amendment to the corporation act was proposed, giving directors and of defunct corporations the power of disposing of property of the forfeited corporations.

Senator Wolfe was informed that be- Puget | fore the joint committee finished its labors it would like to have a commit- tee from the delegation, or the delega- tion entire, come into conference with it on the proposed legislation.

While we are not advised of the particular changes your committee contemplates recommending we believe that the rea- sons making such changes necessary operate with equal if not greater pro- priety to the Justices' courts.

A resolution regarding thé abolition of the tax on mortgages was, received an@ passed. l A new section to the Political Code will be drafted to cover the delinquen- | cied caused in the payment of taxes' throughout the State by the continued closing of benks during the period of proclaimed helidays.
