INHERITANCE TAX.

Illinois is one OF the States which has en-.
acted statute to tax inheritances.
This was done by the Legislature Of that
State at its last session. Almost immedi.
ately the constitutionality OF the act was
questioned. The courts of Illinois sustained
the act, but an appeal was taken to the
United States Supreme Court, where the
case was argued few days ago.
Ex.President Harrison, leading counsel
for those who attack the act, made very
strong argument. He claimed that the right
To tax inheritances involved the power to
wipe il out altogether, and he characterized
this idea as monstrous.
Are men, he asked, to be restrained from
giving due exercise to the affections Of the
hearth Would man toll and save without
the stimulus Of the capacity TO transmit his
property TO offspring? Would not the doc.
trine that inheritance 10 not natural right
paralyze thrift and prudence and ambition
1t cannot be supposed that the American
system Of government would permit q so
cialistic, communistic, State 70 destroy th,
right to devise property, insisted Genera
Harrison.
Counsel for the State argued that ther,
could be no doubt as to the States right Il
make reasonable classifications and regula
tons of property under its taxing power
aud that Illinois when she came into th
Union reserved the right to regulate inherit
ance.
This case is regarded as one of the mos
important that the Supreme Court has haC
under consideration very recently, and il
decision is awaited with interest othe
States than Illinois

The first gun of the Congressional cam
paign this year will be fred in distant Or.
egon. That State has two Representatives
in Congress, both now Republicans. Besides
these, a Legislature will be chosen, which
will elect Senator in place OF John H.
Mitchell, whose term expired on March 8,
1897 The Legislature that should have
filled the vacancy Jailed to do so and the
Senate 30 lar has not seated Mr. Corbett,
who was appointed by the Governor. The
securing of Senator and two Representa-
tives in Congress is an important matter in
itself and sufficient at this time to arouse
national interest in the result in the Web
foot State. Aside from this, however, the
TACT that Oregon is debatable ground gives
TO its verdict, coming in advance OF the
elections in other debatable States, an i'm
portance altogether beyond the numerical
strength of its delegation in the House OF
Representatives.

SENATORIAL CARELESSNESS


Speaker Reed has characterized the present
United States Senate as" nondescript body"
Whst be meant to imply was that no party
has clear majority, and that the action OF
the Senate on any Of the great questions
which divide the parties cannot be predicted
with reasonable success
This is true, and 1t makes all the more re
markable the good fortune which President
Mckinley has had in the Senate with his
nominations. In less than eleven months
he has sent to that body no less than 5000
nomination, every one of which has been
confirmed, and very few of which have had
any opposition whatever.
Few Presidents have ever had so little
trouble in getting the Senate to agree that
right men for Office had been selected. The
Presidents success is not due to the fact
that he has made exceptionally good nomi-
nations. On the contrary, he has sent to
the Senate the names of many men who
were VIGOROUSLY incompetent to fill the
Offices for which they had been nominated
or otherwise Objectionable That every one
ofthese should have been confirmed is truely
remarkable.
1t is very clear that the Senate has 10
many instances fallen short of its constitu-
tional duty as the coordinate part OF the
appointing power. 1t was expected by the
trainers Of the constitution that the Senate
would scrutinize closely all nominations on
which il is required to act, and thus prevent
the abuse Of the Presidents prerogative, and
evil results that might come from mistakes
of the Executive judgment
Had the Senate attended to its business
properly many Of the 5000 nominations 4
has confirmed since the 4th Of last March
would have been rejected.

THE VALUE OF GOOD ROADS

There is all over the country deep and
growing interest in the subject Of good
roads. The people generally have learned
that good roads pay and that bad roads are
terribly expensive.
There is not State in the Union which
has not done more good work in the past
five years than it ever did before in an equal
period OF time. Some OF them have done
ten times as much. Last year saw won.
derful improvement in our roads, and with
hopeful indications that we shall have more
in the near future.
Prof. Latta, Of PArdue University, Ind,
estimates that the annual loss from bad
roads in Jefferson county, Ind. lie fully 81
an acre. This means an annual loss of
$250,OO0.
In attempting 70 convince the farmers
who are opposed to large expenditures for
roads, President Latta gives the following
as some of the good effects of good roads:
(1) Economic time and force in trans
portation between farm and market;
(2) Enable the farmer to take advantage
OF market fluctuations in buying and selling !;
(3) Permit transportation of farm products
and purchased commodities during times of
comparative leisure;
~ Reduce the wear and tear on horses,
harness and vehicles;
(5) Enhance the market value of real
estate.
President Latta says Of the increased value
OF land from road Improvement
"As already stated, this increase is esti-
mated by the farmers consulted rs 80 per
acre. This would enhance the value of
each section Of land $500, which is more
than double the estimated cost e, 292) of the
two miles of improved high way, which con.
stitute the quota for the section. Just here
the objection may be raised that the i'm
proved roads would not increase the pro-
ductive capacity of the land, while the en-
HANGED commercial value would increase
the taxes. Let Us, for the sake OF argument,
grant this plausible but fallacious objection,
and then find what IL amounts 10. Let US
suppose the increase 10 appraisement for
taxation 10 be 81 per acre and the tax rate It
per cent This would mean an annual in
crease 10 taxes oil cents per acre, or IS per
hundred acres. Would not our objector,
after enjoying the benefits of good roads, be
very willing to give therefor the extra IS,
il necessary? Would he keep the money
and go back TO the thraldom of mud roads
Ii 80, he has the option of selling his farm
at an advance, according to the average esti
mates OF his brother farmers, that will more
than doubly reimburse him for his expendi
ture on highway improvement; and he can
then remove TO some native wild whose quiet
waters have not been troubled by the spirit
OF progress"
The gospel Of good roads is being preached
by newspapers in every State and in almost
every county. Let the good work go on.

BLUE GRASS ELOoUENCE

A Mr.. Rhea, who represents part of Ken.
lucky in The Federal House OF Representa-
uVes, made an exhibition of bad taste last
week In the House, when he declared that
the hottest place in hades is reserved for the
present Secretary of State because he was
the author of "the crime of 1873" Admit.
ting that the decentralization of silver was
a crime, John Sherman has sins enough to
answer for without being arraigned as the
principal in a transaction for which he ia
not responsible. If Mr.. Rhea will take the
trouble to read the records of the Senate for
the session during which the act was passed
which omitted the silver dollar from the list
oil. Jour coins, be will find that John Sher.
man was far from being the author of that
measure, that he openly opposed it, and was
one OF the Senators who voted against it.
Mr.. Rhea seems to be much more famil.
lar with the geography and management of
hades than he is with the history of legisla.
ton on the top side of the earth.
