The strike of the employees of the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation is also dis
turbing element in the situation. The
stories from the centre of the trouble are
conflicting. but it is very certain that the
strike cannot be ended inside of two or
three weeks, and during all the time IL
runs II Will be anything rather than a
bull factor in the market. If the strike
should assume a serious nature il might
very easily cause a bad slump in the
steel stocks and in the general market in
sympathy. The reports from the corn
area are still another disturbing element
in the outlook. II is said. and probably
with truth, that day or two more Of
hot weather in Kansas with no rain would
be most disastrous thing for the corn
crop. The kilograms yesterday from the
corn section were somewhat conflicting,
but as a whole were certainly not reas-
suring. The disposition among careful
market people undoubtedly is at present
TO go slow. They do not feel inclined as
yet to sell the market short, bat are ad-
vising the sale of long stocks wherever
profits are shown.

The stock market yesterday was a dis
appointment to the street, which for the
most part. had looked for good opening
for the new fiscal year. Prices went off all
the morning and after a small rally later
in the day closed down to near the lowest
Of the session. There was no desire to
buy anywhere, and the people that wish
ed to sell. and they were numerous, had
to DO so at concessions nearly always.
Business was dull and professional in
its nature with the exception of the real
izing sales above noted. There is very lit
tie in the situation on which to base hopes
Of bull market this month The opti-
mists continue to talk of the prosperity
of the country and of the plans of the
insiders for Il community of interests, but
they told the same story last month, and
were unable to make a boom with all
their rosy predictions. 1t will be a harder
matter in July than ii was in June for
number of reasons. One reason is the
season itself. July has not been noted
in the past for anything except dullness
in the stock market. The intensely hot
weather is sure TO drive many people out
of town that would be dabbling in stocks
if they remained in New York.
The Washington times., 1901-07-02

But more potent than this are the
numerous actual depressing influences in
the situation. 1t is very evident that Wall
Street does not like the financial outlook,
iii any of its phases. 1t does not see any
thing promising in the failure of the Buff
falO bank following so close on the New
York failure. 1t wonders If the whole
story has been told in this direction. Ii
hears that a number of banks lost money
by the failure of the Seventh National.
While there remains the slightest uncer-
tainty it is very certain that there will be
few people that will care to buy stocks.
The money outlook is not good. The
banks have less money on hand now than
they have had for many years at this
session A number OF the banks are be-
low the legal reserve, according to the
statements Of last week The distribution

The complete figures for later years
are not just at hand, but show gradual
increase in revenue as the working of
the law becomes more effective. In
Illinois the Armour and Mccormick
estates have paid $4,000 or $4,000
apiece into the state treasury under the
inheritance tax law,-and who shall say
that it was severe burden to the benef-
Charles of the estate or an unjust charge
for the services of the state? The
British Empire, according to the States
mans Year Book for 1900, derived
revenue of $57,OOO,0O0 from various
death and succession duties in the fiscal
year 1899.
The constitutionality of the Illinois
inheritance tax law has been upheld by
the supreme court of the United States
recently in the case of Magoun VS.. The
Illinois Trust and Savings bank, 18th
Supreme Court Reporter, p. 594. This
is the leading case on the subject and
carefully cites and reviews the history,
decisions and principles involved. The
court holds: First, that an inheritance
tax is a tax on the succession. Second,
that it is not tax on property. Third,
that there is no natural right to take
property by descent, but that it is
statutory right, and that the state may
impose tax OH this right, may dis
criminate as between relatives and
strangers; may grant exemptions and
may provide a graded tax upon estates
passing to distant relatives and strangers.
Opinion of Economists.
The great thinkers and writer's who
The Conservative, 1901-03-21

economy are oI accord upon Cne justice,
propriety and efficiency Of an inheri-
tance tax, however far separated their
school of thought or point Of view.
Adam Smith says (book V, chap. ID:
"The transference of all sorts of proper
ty from the dead to the living, and that
of immovable property, of land and
houses, from the living to the living
are transactions which are in their ma
ture either public or notorious, or as
such cannot long be concealed. Such
transactions, therefore, may be taxed
directly. Taxes upon the transference
of property from the dead to the living
fall finally, as well as Immediately, upon
the person to whom the property is
transferred"
John Stuart Mill in his chapter OH
taxation, after quoting from Adam
Smith his rules for levying taxes, says:
81 conceive that inheritances and
legacies, exceeding a certain amount,
are highly proper subjects for taxation;
and that the revenue from them should
be as great as it can be made without
giving rise to evasions. The principle
Of graduation (as it is called) that of
laying larger percentage OH larger
sum, though it's application to general
taxation would be in my opinion OBJ
jectionable, seems to me both just and
expedient to legacies and inheritance
duties.''
Prof. Ely, of Wisconsin University,
in his work ''Taxation in American
States and Cities" p. 315, says: "a
direct inheritance tax n when
moderate in amount is just tax which
can always be assessed fairly, and col
lected without difficulty or considerable
expense"
Seligman Incidence of Taxation, chap.
VID, says: "a tax on inheritances CAN
not be shifted, for evidently there is no
one to whom it could be transferred"
And farther on he enumerates it as one
of the forms of taxation recommended
by him to Legislators.
Summed up, the proposed amendment
to the revenue law of this state has in
it's support the master minds in the field
Of political economy, the decision Of the
supreme court of the United States, the
approving experience of sister states,
the plain common sense OF reasoning
minds, and, I trust, The CoNsERvA-
TIVE with all it's readers. Nebraska is
at present floundering along with
revenue system admitted to be ineffec
tive and yet whose general transforma-
tion is not to be looked for at this ses-
sion of the legislature, and probably not
for many years. Let the present body
enact the simple, moderate, tested,

have been glad to find all occasional
point of cordial consensus with THE
CONSERvATIvE,-such, for example, as
the patriotism of planting trees, and the
enactment of Torrens land-t transfer
law. A bill for the latter was intro
duced by myself in the session Of 1897,
failing for want Of consideration. I
hope the present bill by Representative
Hanks may pass. The Torrens system
is successfully in operation in the
province of Manitoba, - with slight
change the Manitoba law may be used
in Nebraska and effect reform whose
needs become more apparent with
every years addition to our political
length of days.
This letter is written to secure the ac-
tive, efficient cooperation of The Con-
sERvATIvE and it's readers for another
genuine piece of progressive legislation,
the enactment of Nebraska inheri-
tance tax law. Two bills have been
introduced on the subject, H. r. 1854, by
Representative Hawxby, of Nemaha,
and another bill by Representative
Reams, of Custer. Both bills are before
the house committee OH revenue and
taxation and the slight differences in
their proposed procedure, it may be
hoped, will there be blended in one
harmonious whole; it is for the justice,
propriety and efficiency of this amend
ment to our revenue law that I plead.
And first the general features of the
proposed legislation, H. r. 1854 provides
for:
/. A tax Of one per cent. on estates
passing to direct OineaD heirs, the tax
being Oh the excess of $4,000 received
by each person.
2. A tax of two per cent. on estates
passing to collateral heirs, the tax being
on the excess of So, 900 received by each
person.
3. A graded tax on estates passing
to strangers to the blood, ranging from
3 to per cent. according to the sum re-
ceived by each person.
This tax is to be collected by the
county treasurer through the probate
court and to be paid into the state
treasury.
The justice and propriety of the pro-
posed enactment rest upon these con-
siderations:
1st, That the state protects and Sc
cures the passing of property after the
death of it's owner to his heirs,-a
peculiar privilege which in many cases
could not exist without the machinery
of the state,-and that it is fairly en-
titled to compensation for comforting
this peculiar privilege.
2nd, That the notorious present in

ty, and the escape from taxation of a
