The principle Of taxing inheritances
is sound and just. But there is a diff
Guilty about its practical application
arising from the fact that it can only
be carried out by State laws; and tun-
less all or most of the States adopt
them on some basis of uniformity the
necessary result will be that the OBJ
ject of the law will be to a great ex-
tent defeated by the removal of the
personal property subject to such taxa
tion from the State which imposes to
the States which do not impose such
taxes. Minnesota is not so rich 1in
wealthy men or. in large estates that it
can afford to drive them out of the
State. But thore can hardly be a
doubt that this would be the effect of
heavy taxes on inheritances unless sim
liar taxes GENERALLY prevailed in our
States. The principle is sound, but
to realize the benefits from it which
are anticipated it should be made of
general and uniform application to the
principal States of the Union. Pioneer,

ARE YOU a CITIZEN?

The approaching township elections
have opened anew the discussion of the
citizenship question. There seems to
be no exception to the rule that only
those " no are full citizens can part1ci-
pate in any election. The following
are the attorney generals opinions
which will be good reading at this
season:
1. All persons born in the United States
without regard to their parentage are legal
voters.
2 All persons of alien parentage who were
minors when their fathers obtained second
papers are legal voters
B. That no person of foreign birth unless a
citizen previous to the passage Of this law is a
full citizen and entitled to vote until the expir-
alton of 80 days from and after the taking out
of his second citizen papers.
4. That no foreign born person, unless a
citizen previous to the going into effect Of this
late law is entitled to vote at the coming cleo
tion unless he is citizen as required by the
foregoing, and that all those persons having re-
long enough to come within the 80 days limit
cannot vote at coming election.
5. That no man can act as judge or clerk OF
election unless a citizen as contemplated by
this new law.
6. This act was issued and proclaimed by the
governor, Dec. &c. 1896,
The same law that governs general elections
also governs special elections.
