Oheral Glass Cheval glass is a full length mirror swung op *frame and with a passing property wi to his children _ We believe that within reasonable limits and for .tU'-sev^/Wie purposes only, there should be- inheritance taxes. However, if the primary purpose of further increasing inheritance taxes it to wipe out our long-estab- I lished right to leave property to our children, then we are definitely against any such increase. j We strenuously object to the social. ' istic tendencies exemplified in any ef- j fort to prevent passing or of one's property at death. Here, ii\ America,' we have always recognized the right | of any citizen, to bequeath his goods and chattels to whomsoever he desires. J In fact, it always has been popularly : considered that a self-respecting citizen has a definite obligation to pro- ' vide for his family after death. I The billions of dollars of life insurance in force or. American lives and ! the billions of dollars on deposit in American savings banks are eloquent' testimonials to the fact that Amer- j icans do want to provide for those members of their families who may survive them. Further, it is proof I positive that even in this era of reck- ' less governmental spending, the American people themselves continue | to be thrifty and have a thought for the morrow. I Therefore, when our government re- ' fuses to admit that such "family obli- I gations e?ist, and contemplates tak- ' ing steps to prevent our passing prop. ' erty on to our families, we contend it is not acting in accordance with the wishes of the vast majority of the American people. Such a procedure, it seems to us, simply would be aping communism or fascism, for both of these assume that the family unit and the family religion must be destroyed because they are ' the state's greatest enemies. 1 It is true that isolated instances can be cited of undeserving persons falling heir to huge inheritances.
