the State Treasury yearly, passed the Senate TO
day. 1t passed. moreover, with Democratic
votes for it. Possibly the Democrats were un-
aware of it's character. They said nothing ABOUT
1t, and the Republicans made speeches upon
1t. not caring to call the attention of the Demo-
Gratis to it.
The bill was submitted to the legislature
by senator Stevens, of Attica Wyoming County.

or any beneficial interest therein. of the waltz 81
more than $4,000. passes by death of the per
son owning 1t direct heir the heir shall
pay the State a tax of per cent upon the clear
market value of the property. Direct heirs of
real property have not hitherto had to pay such
tax
The bill received thirty votes. Several Demo-
Gratis and all the Republicans present voted for
It, and there were no votes against it. In the
Assembly the Republican majority is larger
than in the Senate, so that the bill is no longer
in peril.
This is one of the measures that was consld-
cred by the Governor and leading Republicans
