MAY GET AFTER
INHERITANCE TAX
ATTORNEY GENERAL RELIEVES
THAT SPECIAL OFFICE OUGHT
TO BE CREATED.
STATE LOSING THOUSANDS
Little Attention Paid to the Law Under
Present Conditions by Probate
Judges.

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 24.-[Spe-
cial. Attorney General L. NJ. Sturde-
want believes that the state should APP
point an official whose sole duty it shall
be to collect the Inheritance tax due to
the state. He says that thousands of
dollars which rightfully belong to the
state under inheritance tax laws are lost
because of the untamiliarity with the
law on the part of the ordinary officials
and judges.
Instances of losses have been found
frequently during the past year merely
by chance but there is no official of the
state who can give his time to looking
up these matters at present.
May Create New Office.
1t is likely that bill will be intro
duced at the next session of the LeglS-
lature to create such an Office. A bill
for the appointment of a public account
ant to look up the fines imposed by Grim
inal courts for violations of state laws,
which fines properly should be turned
over to the state treasury, was killed IN
the last session and Il measure creating
an office to have charge of both OF these
matters may be advocated at the next
session.
Il believe that there should be state
official" said the attorney general
whose uuly IL Is W pdSS upon "tt -
bate papers before an estate is allowed
to be settled by the probate judges, to
make sure that the state gets all that IS
coming to it in Inheritance taxes. l
also believe that no transfers OF proper.
ty belonging to deceased persons Shall
be valid until it is shown on the face
of the deeds that the inheritance taxes
are paid. Under the present laws, heirs
of deceased persons often agree among
themselves in regard to a division OF the
property and secure DEGREES of heirshlp
from the county courts without having
the estate put through probate, and then
dispose of the property without paying
the state l cent for Inheritance tax.
State Loses Thousands
81 do not doubt but that hundreds of
thousands of dollars are lost to the state
in this way in the course of year and
man whose sole duty it was to keep
track of these transactions and to pass
upon all probate papers and transfers
of real estate by heirs of a deceased per-
son would collect all this revenue"
1t is reported that Mr. Sturdevant is
slated for appointment by Gov. David
son to the position made vacant by the
recent resignation of Judge H. S. Com
stock. legislative agent for the state. 1t
is said that he will remain in the eXecu-
tive office during the term of the Legis-
lature and aid in looking over bills that
are submitted TO the governor for his
signature Senator Munson, who is now
acting in the capacity of private secre-
tary to the governor, will be obliged to
take his seat in the Senate during the
session and temporary appointment OF
a private secretary may be made for the
session.

HIS ANCESTORS WE'RE KINGS.
An Irish Bard sings the Praises OF Deputy
Commissioner on lee


The item published yesterday that Ar
thur }. O'Keene was born of strings Of
Erin's kings occasioned the belieefYe that
knows Of King Boru.
'Oh, odm spare my family tree"
Commissions O'Keeffe first blurted out
when asked about this yarn that he's a
leaffe upon a family tree hat shoots up
heavenward with kings for roots. Twas
shortly after Bingham made young Arthur
J. O'KeeYe third deputee his family tree
bloomed out in strong relieeffe when trav'ler
folk in London read a tablet IN a grave
that said:
Here lies an heir 10 Irish kings named
Arthur j. O'Keeffe. and here as well lies
Isabelle. his widow, she whose grieeffe was
such that when her lord, so cherished,
cashed in his chips Belle also persisted"
-I1l hear that yarn, the C'missioner said,
until my ears grow deefe. CGrow def"
he said, but here instead it's -deeffe" to
rhyme with Keeffe) For all my friends
Just cross the sea-, it seems, to mail that
news to me. As each one lands on English
soil he seeks a hansom cabby and on he
lights to see the sights within Westminster
Abbey. And as he strolls from bier to bier
he gives a yell, oh, look who's herel'
Then, certain that I've never heard
of this dead Irish chieefe, he sits him down
in London town to write of this O'Keetfe.
And then the next mail steamer brings
the same old yarn of Irish kings, Now,
all that l can tell you Of the family Of
O'Keene is once a stork Il think in Cork
at least that's my belieefIel once brought
a bouncing Irish lad who later was my
fathers dad.
My father when but six years old sailed
into Boston bay, so I'm the first n ever

and all such sham I do not give q tirker's

ALASKAN CAME LAWS BAD.
Capt. RadcIyne Complains n the wanton
killing ny Natives.

Capt. c. T.. Radcliffe, late Of the First
Life Guards. England, reached New York
Yesterday. returning from a big game
hunt in Sill eria, ksmchatka and Alaska.
The hunt was for bear. moose and mountain
' sheep, and, Capt. Radcliffe says, was very
successful, but he returns with a grievance.
At his rooms in the " aldorf last night he
said that the big game was being rapidly
exterminated in Alaska by the natives
and laE orers In mining and railroad camps,
while he, as a sportsman, was not allowed
TO take out of the country a single speci-
men Of game.
Capt. Radclyfe's hunting trip was made
with a German sportsman, Paul Aiedieck.
Radcliffe can tell blood curdling stories,
backing them up with his own photographs
of his adventures among the Anus, a tribe
living on the island OF YezO, Northern
Japan, where the women wear mustaches
and suckle lear cubs and where the top
price for murder is two beaT teeth, or al out
five cents in American money. But he
prefers to talk on the shameful extermi-
nation Of ig game in Alaska.
Cart. Radcliffe feels very keenly on this
point. The game law for Alaska as passed
June 4. 1904, limits the number and kind of
animals WHICH may ut h4liCu, OuN diSO Hdyc'
Nothing in this act shall prevent the killing
of any game animal OF bird for food or
clothing by native Indians or Esqimaux
or by miners, explorers or travellers on a
Journey when in need Of food or clothing
Now there you are" CAPT. Ladclyfe
said, the natives and the men in camps
are kill ing game by wholesale, but a sports
man can only kill one OF two and cannot
Ia e them out Of the country without a
permit"
Az an instance OF native game billing
Capt. Radcliffe said that a body OF 800 men
has been engaged for&he past two years in
building a ra lway atfbss the Kenai PEN
insula. which Is in the very heart Of the
moose country The 900 men, he said, have
practically lived for the past two years on
moose kliled and sold to them by native
hunters.
Some change in the game law or in it's
operation should be made at once" Cart.
Rsdclyffe cont nued. ALREADY the big
game OF that country is beginning to be
scarce. In some regions it is practically
e1terminated."

LOOK TO The FUTURE.

Have you provided for your fam
ily's welfare after you death?
If not, then you have not done
your full duty. The best and sur
est way to provide for the financial
loss they will incur by being de-
prived of your income, is to invest
part of what you are now earning
in good life insurance, A small
premium each year pays for large
amount of protection. To accumu
late au equal amount by saving,
you would have to be sure you
we're going to live a long number
of years. You may die this year.
Therefore you cannot figure on
your savings. INSURE NOW.
The UNION CENTRAL policies
are the best premiums the lowest
and dividends the largest of any
company.
Let me figure with you.
