TAX LAW IS GOOD.
The Supreme Court Renders an I'm.
portant Decision Concerning the
Collateral Inheritance Measure.

The supreme court has rendered .
decision sustaining the collateral inner
itance tax law passed by the Twenty
sixth general assembly. 1t was in the
matter of the estate of Thomas II. Nc
Chez, a nonresident of the state, own
ing property in Scott county. He left
about rs heirs, all distant relatives, so
the property is subject to the tax of five
per cent.
The court ordered an appraisement
and approved the report, fixing the
value at the assessed amount, 1922, 535,
and holding that the exemption of ST.
900 allowed by the law should be
allowed each heir. This would prevent
the collection of any tax. The state
then came III and demanded new APP
praisement at the market value of the
property, and that the $1,000 exemp-
ton should be taken from the whole
amount of the property.
The district court granted the request
of the state; the property was reap
praised at its market value, $62, $50, and
the exemption of $1,000 taken from the
total appraised value, leaving $61, $50
subject to the tax. This is sustained by
the supreme court, so the state will re-
ceive $3,079 from this estate.

A PITIABLE PLIGHT.
A Woman, While Demented, Walks
the Streets of Keokuk in an
Entirely Nude Condition.

While suffering from mental aberra,
ton Mrs. John Singleton slipped off her
clothing and passing out of the front
door of her home on the corner of First
and Concert streets, in Keokuk, she
walked down Concert to Third street
and down Third to Main in perfectly
nude condition. The incident naturally
caused great excitement in the neigh
borhoods through which she passed.
A great crowd gathered and followed
her as she walked along in complete
Inconsistencies, apparently, that she
had anything to be ashamed of. Final
ly Officer Berryhll met the woman at
the corner of Third and Main streets.
he quickly threw his ulster around her
and hailed business man who was
passing in buggy. After some reluc-
lance the woman gave her name and ad-
dress to the officer and consented to be-
ing taken home. She said she was look
ing for her brother. She made no COM
plant and was in no way violent. But
she had strange, far-away look in her
eyes and was restless.

TONS OF DEAD FISH.
Lake Having Fun with the
Fish and Game Warden.

Never before have the shores of Lost
Island lake, north of Ruthven, been so
covered with dead fish as this spring.
Within short distance one man count
ed $50 odd carcases of dead buffalo,
running from 20 to SO and go pounds.
Large numbers of black bass and 9TH
er varieties are among the dead. The
authorities have been compelled to hire
men to bury these carcasses. The neigh
boring farmers, who during winters
heretofore have always done more or
less fishing through the ice, are having
some fun with the deputy fish and
game warden, whose house commands
a view Of the lake and who stopped
everything of that kind last winter.
These farmers now claim that hereto
fore their ice holes saved the fish, as
the lake is shallow and freezes solidly
all over the surface, and that the fish
officer has. by his policy, become re-
'ponsible during one season for the USE
less killing Of more fish than all the
fishermen ever took in many seasons.

The INHERITANCE TAX.
Summary of Law Passed by Twenty.
Seventh General Assembly
Amending the Dill.

The following is summary of the
amendment to the collateral inheritance
tax law passed by the last legislature:
s. +. 225 Amending the law relative tc
the assessment and collection of the col.
lateral Inheritance tax. The law removes
the defects discovered in the law passed
two years ago, and provides that due no.
tice of appraisement of property to be taxed
shall be given to all interested parties. that
being the principal objection made to the
law by the courts. The appraisers are re-
CURED to give no less than ten days notice
to the treasurer Of the state and other in.
terested persons of the time and place OF
such appraisement. The treasurer of state
or any persons interested in the estate ap.
praised may file exceptions to the appraise.
ment, which shall be heard as an action
In equity before the district court If the
court finds that the property has not been
appraised at its market value, new ap-
praisement shall be ordered until fair
appraisement is secured. Appeal is al
lowed to the supreme court, for which
bond must be given, unless the appellant
Is the treasurer of the state. This provision
must be complied with in all cases, even
where appraisements have been made pre-
vious to Its taking effect. Provision is made
to compel the payment of the tax on cor
porate stock or obligations in this state
held by foreign executor or trustee. and If
such stock Is transferred without payment
Of the tax the corporation permitting the
transfer is liable for the tax. No safe de-
post company, trust company, bank or
other institution or person holding securi-
ties or assets of a decedent is allowed to
deliver or transfer the same to an executor
or legal representative of said decedent
without giving notice to the treasurer Of
state or unless the tax on such securitiee
is paid. Failure to comply renders the GUS
todian Of such securities liable for the tax.
1t Is made the duty of executors and truss
tees to furnish the clerk Of the court a
list Of the heirs, as required in the code,
stating the relationship which each bears
to the decedent, copy of which list shall
be sent to the treasurer of state. The chief
Justice of the supreme court Is required
prior to July l. 1898. to appoint five of the
district judges to meet with him In Des
Moines to form uniform rules and regula.
tions for the assessment and collection OF

ance of district judges, officers Of the court
and executors. County attorneys are re-

OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
Members Of Congress criticise

Members of all parties openly criti-
else the president. Senator Foraker,
the republican senator from McKin-
ley's own state said:
II have no patience with the mes
sage and you can say So
He refused. to go into details.
Thos. NJ. Jett, democrat, of Illinois,
ssThe message is great disappoint-
ment to all parties. 1t does not de-
mand of Spain as much as she has
granted in the las forty-eight hours. -
Richardson, democrat, of Tenn:
'.The message will be disappointing
to the country and will not take a
place in history like those of Jackson,
from whom he quotes SO literally"
Cummings, democrat, of New York
1T invites the American eagle to
leave the country and give place to a
buzzard."
Simpson, populist, of Kansas:
The message is reflection of the
man-weak and vacillating. 1t will
go down to history as one that puts
this country in a most humiliating
attitude, that of having lost all our
manhood and love of liberty"
Senator Pettlgrew: sit is the weak
est yet"
Senator Mason, republican, of Ill. !:
The message is wabbly; it lacks
vertebra."
Senator Platt, republican, of New
York, said: ''It sounds like a disap-
pointment.'
Senator Tillman said: cit was franz
ed for an apology for Spain. The con-
illusions are tame and imbecile."
Said Senator Lindsay: sit will new
er please the people,"
Representative Beach, republican,
Cleveland, Ohio, said: Congress will
not concent to leave the settlement
OF the Cuban question in the hands
OF the president. Congress is tired of
swdIthg. The policy of delay has
made the country sick, and if am
not mistaken, congress will take de-
cisive action this week."
These are only samples of the criti-
cisms quite generally INDUCED in by
the leading men of the country. Many
go SO far as SO openly charge that the
president has surrendered, not to
Spain, but to Wall street.

Senator Mason, of Illinois, is re-
publican. but he does not allow his
human sympathies to be stifled by
sordid commercialism. From the very
first, Mr.. Mason has sided with the
cause of suffering humanity in Cuba,

he said that he chad the pleasure of

Altgeld on jefferson.

Former Governor Altgeld was given
q most enthusiastic reception by the
democrats assembled in Central Mus
ic Hall to observe the birthday ami
versary of Thomas Jefferson.
1t was an occasion fitted to stir the
hearts of the democrats, and john P.
Altgeld rose to the occasion.
Among the many timely comments
on the situation, the reference to
Grover Cleveland's Cuban policy was
especially instructive. In this con-
nection Altgeld said:
During Cleveland's term the sad
cry of starving and bleeding Cuba
was heard by the world. All she asked
was recognition, which would give
belligerent rights and enable her to
buy in our markets. She would fight
her own battles, and needed no inter
vention. This nation spoke in tones
OF thunder that the Spanish assassin
must not be helped by US and that
Cuba must be recognized. Congress
promptly passed such resolution.
Had this been acted on there would
today be no Cuban question, for, once
able to buy supplies in our market on
the same footing with Spain, the
brave Cubans would long ago have
driven every Spaniard off the island.
But then, as now, the voice Of the
money-changer silenced the voice Of
statesmanship--of common sense and
OF justice.
1.-THE president sneered at the peo-
pie and ignored a co-ordinant branch
of the government, and the great
navy OF this proud and free republic
was made to perform the service of q
policeman for the convenience of
Spain. Thank God the time is at hand
which will end Spanish barbarities
on American soil"
This arrangement Of Cleveland was
especially opposite to the policy
which has been followed by McKin-
ley. Even to greater extent has the
republican administration been gull.
W VI suD6erV1ence TO Che money pow
er than was Cleveland's.
II there is now prospect that hui
mainly and justice are going to pre-
vail, it is owing to the fact that the
people of this nation have forced the
principles of Jefferson upon congress
and have broken the rule of the mon
ey power.
It is especially appropriate at this
Time for the nation to study the life
OF Jefferson. Truly American, his
life should prove an inspiration and
should incite congress and the people
to battle successfully against the un-
