Collateral Inheritance Tax.

The law in some of the States imposes
a tax on collateral inheritances and II Is
a source of considerable revenue. In
Pennsylvania, the tax derived from this
source amounted to over 10000 I'm the
year 1888. In New York, i'm 1857. IL
amounted TO %5l.7lG; in 1888, S1SG, 600, in 1883.
more than 81 .)00.000. There Is no purpose
10 lay a burden upon the common and
natural succession, such as descent Of
property from parent to child, or from
child 10 parent. but only on such property
as through the permission and protection
OF the statute, comes into possession Of
persons and corporations who have had no
hand in making II, and no natural claims
upon those from whom II Is derived. IL is
acquired under the statute. and does not
come by natural right and IL would
seem that gift allowed by the law may
be properly taxed by the law which al
lows II. Ii is an income received without
labor or expense on the part of the re-
ceivcr-property transferred by the per-
mission and protection Of the government
from the dead TO the living who has no
natural property rights In H. When
property Is so situated as TO pass TO a
new owner, who has no agency in it's
earnings, It Is only just and reasonable
that a tax should be paid TO the State
whose law allows IL. What could be more
reasonable than such n tax. In the final
distribution of an estate? Who could
complain OF Il? Not tina giver. IL II was
disasresabls to him, he could give away

Are Our Tax Lsws satisfactory?

Who believes that all the property In
the. State. both real and personal, Is taxed.
when Il is shown that there Is such q
difference between the taxable values Of
real and personal property? Does it not
demonstrate either that a large proper
ton OF personal property escapes the
commissioner. or that IL has been assessed
below its value Is il not then the duty
Of the Legislature TO examine into these
questions at once, and 10 pass such laws
as will remedy the existing evil? That
which is overtaxed by an unjust assess
ment should at once be relieved. and the
burden placed where justice requires it
should be.

CONTINUED from last week.
From the time of crossing the Col
orado river until we reached the great
mining region about Daggett, wesaw
little except a repetition ofsagebush,
greasewood and cactus to complete
the vegetation. No living thing but
a few frightened rabbits to dash
away upon our approach. No hui
man habitatiOns outside of the sec
/! ton houses at regular distances. We
pushed forward eager to see the vale
of which we had heard SO much.
The conductor so"thed us by an
nouncing: 1.-The country looks like
| this all the way to San Francisco"
Then he deity pointed out Deaths
Valley and informed us that 40 ten
derfOOt was ever known to come out
was at one time covered with bones
of wandering adventures.
We dig mot stop, but from our car
window the dcsolate waste of shin
ing, shimmering sand could be seen;
not a sign of life, not SO much as q
blade of grass grows there; while
reminnting on this freak Of nature
our improvised encyclopaedia ven
tured this information, ''The sand
storms :yonder are farrwOrse than
the Dakota blizzards! The dust will
fill your eyes and ears until you can
See nothing and are as apt to turn
and go the way you came as in the
direction you wish to go; the only
safe way tokeep your bearings there
it to lie down and wait until the
storm blows itself out" The wind
was blowing strong at the time and
we could see the sand drifting in
every direction as the snow shifting
and changing form with every change
of air current.
The snowy summit of the San
Francisco mountains appeared to us
and the lava beds in the foot hills
showed that atone time great vol
canic eruption had taken place.
Great channels of once molten lava
are seen here and there and the
ground and rocks were blackened
an broken by the intense heat.
On through Dagget where wecould
see the smoke from the distant Calico
mines; some of the rich veins of silver
at this point have assayed two humid
red dollars per ton, but now many
of them are not in opera ton. Should
this vexatious silver question be set
tied in a satisfactory manner active
operations will again be resumed.
To gain the summit of the Sierras
our track is laid in parallel lines but
a lew rods apart. Up we go wind
in and out, and out and in, higher
and higher until we are upon the
mesa whence the view below us is
like across the sea; again our road
winds like sheep path and it is diff
| ficult to ascertain the point of the
compass we are aiming at, as the sun
| is first ON one side and then on the
other, it's rays warmer than the
sparcely scattered ones of the day
previous. We begin to feel that we
must be. within range of the Japan
current near the border land of the
setting sun.
At last we are across the desert OF
Moiave, away from the range and
the government reservation, away
from the sagebush country, away
from the monotony of this section
upon the fragments of an uncomplet-
ed world.

Sam Wallace, who has been on
trial several times for completely in
the Manville robbery is again in
trouble. This time for robbing Chaun-

place, of SO il money. He was sent

Sheriff Sells took him down on the
limited Monday night.
The Border Dramatic company ar
rived here last week Wednesday. They
were advertised to play here three
nights, but owing to a break in the
company at Rhinelander, only played
two. Saturday night "Brady's Boy"
was opened to fair-sized audience,
which dwindled down as the play pro-
ceeded. Monday they played a line of
specialities and Tuesday gave dance.
Several new actors. arrived Tuesday
and yesterday they departed for Wa
tersmee5.
The following is taken from our
Washington letter of June Is:
Not since the shooting of President
Garfield has Washington passed
through such a week of sensational ex-
element as that just ended. The aw-
full calamity in Ford's old theater,
where President Lincoln was killed,
by which 81 men lost their lives and IS
were wounded sent thrill of chilling
horror through everyone, which has
since been intensified by the belief
that it was directly caused by the care
lessness and negligence of one man, and
that mans actions have increased
rather than diminished that belief.
The man referred to is Col. Aims
worth, who is in charge of the records
and pensions office of the war depart
ment, which occupied the wrecked
building. Owing to his appearing at
the coroners inquest accompanied by a
lawyer and attempting to intimidate
his clerks who had been summoned to
testify he made very narrow escape
from being lynched. He next caused a
new sensation by appealing to the
courts for a mandamus, which was re-
fused him, to compel the coroner to
allow him and his lawyer to CROSS
question the witnesses, thus acknowl-
edging his; fear of the evidence to be
given before the jury. Owing to a
legal technicality, brought out by his
application the action of the coroner's
jury during it's first four days sitting
was declared void by the court, and
vest 5rday the inquiry had to be started
fresh. An army court Of inquiry will
also investigate, but not until the COR
oner's jury has concluded.
The jury Monday returned verdict
of carelessness ON the part of Col. Aims
worth and three other persons.
