stratton Inheritanc. Tax.

Attorney General n. C. Miller is not
satisfied with the assessment of the
Stratton estate at $4,000,0 900 and has re-
quested Judge Orr of the County Court
of FL Paso county to appoint an ap-
praiser to value the property in behalf
of the state. He believes that it is
worth at least 81 900 900. whereas it is
only appraised at s4.000000.
The difference in the attorney gen.
erals figures and the value now quoted
means if the inheritance tax is sus-
tanned at least $1S0000 to the state.
Under the last law the inheritance
tax is graduated and is paid as follows:
Where children or husband and wife
are beneficiaries. 50 per hundred dol
lars; uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces,
SO on each one hundred dollars: other
objects, 81 to Sc per one hundred dol
lars. The Stratton estate comes under
the latter class at Sc for each 500,
and under the present appraisement
the state should receive $4,000 in
heritance tax, while if it comes to the
attorney generals standard the state
Will receive $4,000.
The attorney general believes that
the last inheritance tax law will be
declared valid, as 1t is modelled on
those of other states where it has been
uttldlt 81 lt tdA law
and the planning of measures for plac-
ing it in operation is occupying most of
the attorney generals time.
After hearing arguments in the case
of the people of the state of Colorado
upon the relation and complaint of
Emma NJ. Herey versus James S. Ea-
gleton, Judge John l. Mullins in the
District Court at Denver handed down
decision for the plaintiff in division
two of the District Court, August 1st
which installs Miss Herey firmly In
her Office as county superintendent of
schools in the city and county of Den
yer until her successor is duly quail
fed. and enjoins the defendant. ap-
pointed by the board of school district
No. l. from performing any duties of
the Office of deputy superintendent.
On the advice of Attorney General
N. G. Miller, State Auditor Holmberg
has decided to pay the amounts speci-
fed in the election contests appropria-
ton. Mr.. Holmberg was in doubt as
to the manner in which the money
should be paid, but he has finally de-
cided that the signatures of the chair
men of the legislative committees on
finance and electi 0ns will be sufficient
The auditor will adhere to the advice
of the attorney general to pay the SAL
aries as they are specified in the stat
utes and not according. to the appro-
priation bill. when they appear in the

Scores of large corporations in Den

assessed against their property on the
ground that they did not receive the
benefit of an alleged horizontal cut of
twenty per cent. in all valuations

of the county last year. The latest
of those to demand the benefit of this
