Drozpitig of Death Duties « Good Idea

British Columbia prides itself on he-

good place in which to die? What may

Premier Manning of Alberta was
considerate, in that he gave a year’s no-
tice before his government cuts itself out

into a sort of no-man’s-land of federal-

dollars in potential investment capital are
lost in this fashion to the country and,
specifically, to the province from which
they fled.

Even when estates remain in the
country, their taxation frequently ‘means
they must be sold off, often’ under the
a favorable of circumstances, to satisfy

Mr. Manning hag come upon a most ef-

to his province and keeping it there.

For all that they are designed to, and
do, distribute wealth, death duties can be

Alberta would be much further ahead if
it rebated its tax share to the affected
estates.

He explained his philosophy in an
interview. “I€ we can make this the one
province in Canada free of estate tax,” he
said, “I am sure it will attract a large num-
ber of estates to Alberta.” These, he add-
