The Inheritance Tax
Excerpt from The Inheritance Tax
The growing importance of the inheritance tax in America is shown by its adoption within a few years by a number of commonwealths, and by the consideration of the question in some form during the past winter by fully a dozen legislatures. As yet there has been no American work on the subject, treat ing it from other than a legal standpoint. Such being the case, an historical and economic examination of the subject may not be inappropriate at this time.
The theoretical interest attaching to this mode of taxation is no less marked than its practical importance. The theory of the inheritance tax is many-sided and complex. From one point of View, it opens up the whole question of inheritance and bequest, a question which in the limits of this monograph can only be touched upon in the briefest manner possible.
