Tax Commissioners Render Opinion
On Question
HOLD THAT INHERITANCE TAX APPLIES
WHEN SUCH INSURANCE BE.
COMES A PORTION OF THE
DECEDENT'S ESTATE.

In an opinion Of the state board of
rav commissioners, written by J. E.
Frost it is held that the inheritance
TAX law applies to life insurance
where the insurance is payable to
rho executor or administrator and be-
o,,,as = part of the assets of the estate
of decedent. and is used to pay debts
and expenses of administration and
tho remainder is distributed as di-
rected by will, or under the Inherit
4nce tax statutes"
The opinion was addressed to Geo.
F Banks, of Everett, and it dealt with
ouestion raised in the estate Of AL
bert 4. Carlson. The assets of the
estate consisted of money received
from life insurance which was paid to
the executrix of the last will of the
decedent The money became the as
sets of the estate, was drawn upon for
the payment of debts and expenses,
after which the remainder was dis
trfbuted to the several legatees under
the terms of the will.
A law of 1897 exempts life insurance
money from all liability for any debt.
Mr.. Frost says in the opinion that it
is well known that the proceeds of
life insurance in the hands of a bene-
ficiary named in the policy are not
liable for the debts of a decedent. Such
money does not go into the estate.
Speaking of the inheritance tax law
in a general way. Mr.. Frost writes:
Some confusion results from the err
roneous but popular understanding
that the inheritance tax is one upon
property. These so-called taxes are
not property taxes, but are a charge
upon the right of succession. The
right to take by devise or descent is
not natural right, but a creature of
the law, a privilege, and the authority
tnal granted the privilege may impose
conditions upon it,
Referring to the case under cOnsid
Grafton, Mr.. Frost writes:
In this case the legatees did not
receive as the beneficiaries named in
the insurance policy by virtue of
contractual relation with the insur-
ance companies, but they received
of the will of decedent."

greater tendency towards pauperism
than the native whites of foreign par
entage. There is, however. no reason
TO believe that many immigrants drift
into almshouses soon after their ar
rival in the United States, for only z.S
per cent of all the foreign-born in
less than five years. Among the diff
ferent nationalities of forefgn-born
with racial characteristics, seems to
determine, in large part, the tendency
toward pauperism.
That pauperism is in a large meas
ure a concomitant of age and it's ac-
companying evils is shown by the
large percentage (5s.O at least so
years of age, and the rapid increase in
the number Of almshouse paupers in
each of the succeeding quinquennial
age periods between 35 and IS years,
after which the high death rate pre-
vents any further increase.
The relation between age and pau
perism is also shown when it is OBJ
served that the proportion of paupers
appears to be much smaller among
the native whites of foreign parentage,
in which class there are comparatively
few elderly persons, than it is among
the foreign born whites, which class is
composed for the most part of adults.
Among the relatively large number
of negroes in the earlier age groups
are found many who are suffering
from pulmonary complaints and many
feeble minded who are sent to the
almshouse as soon as their inability
to earn living is established.
OF the total paupers in almshouses
nearly two-thirds 1854 per cent? were
mentally or physically defective.
More than ree-fourths (76.4 per
cent? of the almshouse paupers old
enough to work We're incapacitated.
OF the aggregate almshouse popula-
ton 17,154, or 10.5 per cent, died dur
ing the year. OF this number more
than two thirds CTS per cent? were
at least so years old.

GERMANY TO BAR AMERICAN BEEF
New Inspection Law Will Practically
Exclude Meat Product of the
United States.

LONDON, July 24.-The Daily Mail
correspondent at Berlin sends the fol-
lowing: Il am informed that begin
ming September Is, Germany will en-
force new and more stringent inspec-
ton laws against American packing
products. This will practically annihi-
late what remains Of a once enormous
trade.
The new regulations provide that
cuts of fresh beef from abroad shall
be examined to see if the glands bear
signs of tuberculosis. If they do, cuts
will not be allowed to enter. Amer
lean refrigerated beef coming to Ger
many has the glands removed before
shipment. The packers cannot leave
the glands on without spelling the
other cuts not intended for export.
The new regulations will thus prac-
tically exclude American beef from the
German market.
l am also informed that the govern
ment has decided to stop the shipment
of American timed meats for German
troops in southwest Africa, although
they have contracted for a regular
supply until next October.
