Temperance league, says:
There was time when II states had
passed Prohibition laws. between 1852 and
1862; but the immense influx Of immigrants
n countries where intoXicants were
used changed the public opinion which
had made those laws, and after "a struggle
to maintain them they gave place to local
option laws, by which towns and cities
bad the right TO vote on the policy OF IL
cense.
These laws have been amended after
tremendous effort in our Middle and
Western states; and under the provisions
Of such laws very large portion OF the
country has voted out the saloon, as may
be seen by our report OF the recent ma

PROBATE FEES
EXTORT|ONATE IN
THIS STATE

mo one seems to have got on 10 the
fact that Rhode Island legislators adopt
ed some time ago President Roosevelt s
idea OF an inheritance tax" said a MEM
ber OF the bar TO a Democrat re-
porter today.
THE men who would be the first 10 de-
rounce an income tax as Socialistic sat in
their seats in the marble palace and voted
extortionate taxes on the administration
OF deceased persons.
president Roosevelt wanted TO place a
tax on nheritances over certain
amount: but the Rhode Island legislators
were more impartial and believed I'm not
bLrdening rich heirs at the expense OF
the poorer ones.
president Roosevelt's idea was that
the tax should be for the benefit OF the
state treasury: but the solons OF this
state believed in using this tax 10 help out
the town clerks, though in this city the
probate fees do not go to the court offi-
cials. which that is one OF the causes of
complaint.
"In order TO keep the town clerks from
taking off their coats and supporting the
Democratic party, II was determined
something must be done; and IL was de-
cided 10 raise money for them by an In
heritance tax, the purpose being accom-
plished In very simple way py raising
the fees in the probate court.
THE city of Providence does not need
to put the screws so tight on those who
inherit small sums or money. IL pays the
probate clerk and his assistants fair sal
aries: and there are those who believe
that, even IL the parties dying possessed
OF small estates should support the town
clerks. Providence should be exempt from
the provisions Of the present act.
I'm all OF the towns probate fees help
to make up the town clerks salary: and
there was general complaint among this
class OF officials as 10 the size or the fees.
The few Democratic town clerks natural
~ were not opposed TO the raise, but as
the Republicans controlled the legislature
they were, OF course. responsible for the
present outrageous conditions.
when a party petitions for administra-
ton on the estate of a deceased person,
ne first pays 81 10 the clerk OF the munl-
cipal court in this city. Then he has TO
pay fees for the filing OF bond. inventory,
etc, and should the personal estate not
bs sufficient TO pay debts and IL is neces-
sary TO sell the real estate, there Is fur
ther fee OF s. on the flling OF the petition,
and when the account OF the administra-
tor is fled there is another fee OF N.45.
IAN these fees in the city OF Providence
are paid into the city treasurer; but IL
was not 10 help the city that these fees
we're fixed.
''It would seem as IL the next general
assembly should use the pruning knife In
pretty generous style on these probate
fees. The inheritance tax would not be
a bad thing If properly adjusted; but the
Rhode Island legislators have not hit on
the right plan
