SIGNED RY THE GOVERNOR.

Albany, April 2o.-The Governor has signed Senator
vedders bill amending the Collateral inheritance lax
law which taxes direct inhertances of $4,000 and
over in value The legislation incorporated In the bill
Is in pursuance Of recommendations which he made
to the Legislature in his annual message OF last year
The memorandum closes follows: "There is one ap-
parent defect III the BILL however in that 1t seems to
exempt all devises Of real property which are collateral
pherances from the operations of the Collateral IN
he1itance tax. The original Collateral inheritance
law 81 called. of which this act is amendment did
NOT contain this exemption. 1 am Informed by some
Of the friends Of the measure that such an exemption
was not intended by the Legislature. If it was an
oversight IL should be corrected by Subsequent egsa-
ton The deadlock existing in the Senate makes
IL impossible TO have the bill recalled from the EXecu
tive for amendment and rather than endanger the
enactment of what in other respects Is an excellent
measure, l have affixed my signature to the BILL"

mission reported bill that is fair to all parties and
so plain that its provisions may be easily understood

BLY, and now awaits the action of the Senate. Unless
the sporsmen Of the State insist and at once that the
senate pass the measure it came from the Assem-
hlv without amendment, the bill will be killed.
The selfshness of sportsmen insisting upon their
own individual ideas has already endangered the BILL
and will be the cause Of its defeat should It be lost
The poachers are trying hard to kill the bill, inasmuc
as the present middle the game laws are in enables
about five out OF every ten TO avoid conviction or, il
convicted to reverse the conviction upon appeal. II
now behooves all spOrtsmen ard others interested in a
good plain game law 10 use every effort with their
Senators 10 pass the bill without amendment II this
bill should not pass the sportsmen may abandon all
hope of ever having proper game law In this State, as
never again will the same trouble and expense be
undertaken for that purpose.
