the scale at $50 pounds.

Of the Law.
A meeting has been called by Secre-
tary Jackson, of the state board Of
correction and charities. for Dec. to
consider a measure to be presented to
the legislature establishing Il proba-
ton system of dealing with juvenile
offenders in the three large cities Of
the state. The meeting will be held at
the capitol, and a number of penolo-
gists have been invited to attend.
Under the proposed law a probative
officer viii be appointed in Minneapolis
and Duluth, and made a state office,
and the work OF the present officers in
St Paul will be given a larger scope.
A similar bill was presented to the leg
islature two years ago, and failed Of
passage by but "a. few votes.
The bill, as it is proposed, leaves the
nomination of the probation officer
with the Minnesota Prison association
subject to the approval of the judges
of the district court where the appoint
ment is made.
The duties of the officer will be to in
vestigate all cases of juveniles under
the age of sixteen years who are
brought up for trial in the district
court. The bill provides that when ar
rests of youthful offenders are made
sentences can be suspended upon
probation. The bill lays down rules to
be followed in all such cases.
Secretary Jackson favors the plan,

INHERITANCE TAXES PAID
STATE TREASURY GETS ITS FIRST
RECEIPTS FROM THE COUNTIES
Only Two Payments Fave Been
Made as Far as Reported to the
State Officials by the County


Made Far as Reported to the
Auditors.
State Auditor Dunn yesterday re-
ceived the first returns from the per
cent inheritance tax provided for by
the last legislature.
The returns made yesterday were
from Steele and Wabasha counties
The county treasurer of Steele county
sent in A remittance for $1025S. as a 5
per cent tax on the estate of II. D.
Jones, of Owatonna. The other remit
lance was from the county treasurer
of Wabasha county for $216.53. upon
the estate of James Manning, of Waba-
sha, MINI.
The law levying the tax is quite
sweeping ard covers all kinds OF be-
quests and inheritances bequeathed by
will or by the intestate laws of the
state 1t taxes all requests made or
CARNATIONS or corporations, and au-
thoriZes the state auditor to furnish
blanks to judges of probate upon which
to make out returns. and further pro-
vides that the judge of probate must
make quarterly reports to the state
auditor of all requests coming under
the provisions of this law
AS yet none of these returns have
been received at the state house The
duties of the judge Of probate are clear
ly set forth in the statute, and the
hardness Of their returns would either
indicate a laXity in inforcing the law
or an alarming decrease in the death
rate. The first section Of the statute
reads as follows:
Section l. A tax shall be and is hereby i'm
posed upon the transfer Of any personal prop
erty. Of the value of five thousand Is O0O
dollars or over, or Of any interest therein or
income therefrom, in trust or otherwise. 20

Second-When the transfer Is by will CT in

the deCedent was a nonresident Of the axe
al the time of his death
Third-When the transfer is Of property
made by a resident or by a NONRESIDENT
when such non-resident's property is within
this state, by deed, grant bargain sale or
gift, made in contemplation OF the death OF
the grantor vendor or donor, or intending

imposed when any such person or corporation
