A complete revision of "million dollar" class of federal estate taxes will be proposed in next congress as result of Couzens senatorial investigation of internal revenue bureau, it was learned today. Evasion of existing taxes by millionaires and near billionaires thrus distribution of wealth before death, Couzens said, has made a "joke" out of present statute. The proposed revision will revolve around tightening of all loopholes in existing law and erection of new safeguards to stamp out all evasions of tax. With leaks blocked, it was indicated, some slight reductions in present rates might be allowed. Evidence revealed by Couzens investigation, it was said, has shown government lost millions in uncollected taxes from estates of mollionaires, who made elaborate gifts before death. The gifts were covered by so great a littr of technicalities that all efforts of government to enforce supposedly safeguarding gift taxes failed. "It seems that all contested estate tax cases were decided against government thru technicalities," said Sen. Couzens, explaining government's losses. "In most cases, in which bureau and committee believed tax should be paid, evidence indicated transfer of property just before tax payer's death. In many instances, it was even shown this act as done in anticipation of death yet courts decided otherwise. "It is quite evident present gift tax is only feeble effort to stop evasion of estate tax." Sen. Couzens is expected to take lead in proposing revisions of law in report to be submitted from his committee. He will be joined in fighting for revision, however, by progressive leaders of both major parties. The proposed revision was endorsed today by Sen. King, Dem. of Utah and Sen.Norris Rep of Neb., who indicated sufficient votes would be obtained to enact remorse. OIT USED Supervisors Presented A Petition Bearing 25 Signatures Opposition has developed to the calling of a bond-election for Orange-co harbor for any amount larger than that urgently needed to preserve improvements already made. Today it became known that the supervisors, in executive session, were presented with a petition bearing 25 signatures requesting that full development of the port be delayed indefinitely. The petition: It was understood, was presented by L.G. Swales, foreman of the grand jury recently discharged. Prominent professional and business men in all parts of the county were said to have been represented. Conditions in Orange county are such that the expenditure of a large sum of money for harbor development would not be expedient, the men signing the petition were reported to have told the supervisors, through their representative. Recognizing that money already spent for improvements at the port might be entirely wasted unless immediate and needy repairs are made, the petitioners were understood to have made no opposition to the calling of a bond election for $430,000, the smallest amount deemed deserving of extension in the bay development, by Gen. Lansing H. Beach, consulting engineer, whose harbor report recently was made. Though the report has been transmitted to the harbor commission, which discussed it with the board of supervisors in executive session, the report formally has not been before the board and the petition. It seemed to some who discussed it might be held premature. Some members of the board, however, are known to hold opinions that coincide, at least in part, with the desires of the petitioners, who made it clear that if money is to be expended perhaps a more worthy project, namely water supply, might be considered.
