Mr. I Mug til Is generally t recognized as the I leading authority I of the, day on how I not to pay taxes H e established I this reputation In book, published only last January, just before he was appointed to uis present position as second In com mm 1.4 rn mand of the federal treasury, few -v"rtch Mxpayers and no tax attorney, have overlooked it. The title Is "Fed eral Taxes on Estates', Twists. Glfte." and It could have been 'entitled: "How Not to Pay More Than rhe Law Requires." Mr. Magill's collabo rator was an eminent New York rax attorney, Robert H. Montgomery. C. P. A. Messrs. Magitl and Montgomery ig nore the questions cf tax morality or tax ethics. These are subjects which have only lately bzen raised. Instead, they deal with such practical propo sitions as how to get out bf paying the highest rates legitimately, end they made a thorough Job of it. Tips Tb tone of their tomes may be Judged by some of the subtitles: "Minimizing family Income taxes"; "Minimizing estate and gift taxes"; "Creation of trusts"; "Incorporation", ate. For Instance, they tell how own ers of estates above half a million dollars can evade death taxes by "divesting" themselves of 80 to 00 per cent of their property. But they counsel owners of estates of less than SIOO.OOO to "divest" of, no more than 55 per cent. Unfortunately, there Is not much in the book to help the smaller in come taxpayer. The authors point out that man and wife may divide their income-producing property 50 60 and thus take advantage of lower rates. They also tell how to create trusts and "spread Income tax liabil ity among several taxpayers." N.-ne of this Is much good to a salaried man. In fact, no one seems to be Inter ested In helping the great bulk of income taxpayers. Every tax author ity knows this class generally pays more than Is due. Just because of Ignorance of the law. They cannot afford to hire attorneys; the income tax blanks, are not much help; and the revenue agents are rough about allowing deductions, such aa the five and six cents per gallon taxes paid on gasoline, unless the taxpayer nas documentary proof of how many gal lons he bought- Likewise, it seems to be virtually Impossible for the average taxpayer to deduct his six cents a package tax on cigarettes or on the cosmetics his wife buys Reports are current that Mr. Maglll Is now working on a book telling the low Income group how it ca n take advantage of these- and other legiti mate deductions. He may use as a text the observation made by a prominent democratic congressman fflomera of Brooklyn) the other day. n.t follows: "If ignorance of the law ts no ex 'ttstf; can knowledge of the law be penalized?" Senators seem to oc dleglng eagerly at their work in order to get away from Washington as soon as possible However, the senate record on legisla tion does not show anything which might be called a rapid stride in that cMrectton. It rather suggest that the upper house may be on a silent sit down strike. The other day, when the senate was In recess, there was then pending the relief bill, pwa extension, CCC extension, the Interior, and war de I artment appropriation bills, and numerous other bills had not passed the conference stage. Postmaster General Farley has been writing letters to congressmen against those pending bills for federal tegi.ls tlon of the commercial aviation in dustry. He does not want the air mail put under the Interstate com merce commission. However, Mr. Farley does not tem to have as much influence now as when he took over the air mall some Tears ago. Conjnr wmcn have gone to r D. R. asking him to settle the question. In thla coot yesterday, the ambas sador to Switzerland. Hujrh Wilon. was erroneously called Hugh Oibson who la the ambassador to Brazil. Hie confusion of their name In state flepirtment parleys Is w common they have come to be known unoffi cially as the name-twins.
