FIR an Inheritance Tax.

Senutdr Dillon is making good prog
cess uppi the Inheritance tax bill and
will hay, il ready very soon. He is
taking the strong features Of the in
heritancr laws of all of the states
where 1T has been upheld by the
courts. To cover all of the points in
volved requires a very elaborate law.
This is not, as some suppose, a novel
or an experimental proposition, but
is Que OF the established, equitable
sources OF revenue throughout the
world. More than half of the states
of the union, including New York.
Pennsylvania, and Illinois employ it
with eminent success and gratifying
results. 1t is an important source of
revenue both in England and France.
While in a young state like South
Dakota, proportionately large results
can not be hoped for, still a surplus
ing amount of property, in estates
exceeding five thousand dollars in
value, annually. pass through our pro-
bate courts. From data obtained by
Governor Elrod, the amount cannot
be less than three millions annually.

DEFENDS JUDGE POPE
Justice Mann Gives a
Correct Statement as TO
Published Report

4 number of Texas papers have been
publishing a statement that Judge William
II. Pope performed a ceremony marrying
a ncgrcss to a white man, and are making
uncomplimcntay remarks in regard to the
same.
The friends of Judge Pope are indignant
over the statements and are loud in their
protests against them. Judge Pope is net
in the Territory but in his absence Judge
Mann, one OF his friends and who is hold
ing court in the place of Judge Pope dur
ing his absence has made a denial. A part
OF Judge Mann's statement as published
in the Record is as follows:
"Of course in New Mexico, where Judge
Pope is SO well and favorably known, no
one would believe such a report but in
Texas the report might and apparently
does obtain some credence. |, therefore,
want to most emphatically deny that Judge
Pope had anything whatever to do with
the marriage ceremonies mentioned, but
that the records of this county show that
the ceremony was performed by n
Justice OF the peace of the county.
'While Judge Pope probably knows
nothing of the report, and would probably
treat 1t with the silent contempt it deserves,
still, in his abselCe and rs his friend and
associate, | make the denial, and refer to
the records as proof. Judge Pope is a
man of the very highest moral standing,
one who has the respect of every person in
New Mexico as a man and as a Judge, and
the accusation that he had any hand in or
connection with the above transaction is
false and should he corrected" Santa Fe
