Sioux Falls. S. D.. March 7.-Prepara-

State League of South Dakota in Sioux
Falls a day or two prior to June 8, the
date of the republican state convention.

iliary to the insurgent republican state
campaign. The calling of the conven-
tion of the league at the time stated
will add interest to the energetic fight
which is being waged for control Of
the republican state convention.
1t was originally planned by the Off

mittee of the Scandinavian Republican
league to hold a convention during the
latter part OF May. with the object
doubtless OF adding enthusiasm to the
insurgent republican campaign, just
prior to the republican state convention.
but 1t has now been decided to hold the
convention only day or two before
the regular republican state convention.

department of forestry established the

BIG INHERITANCE TAX.
First instance Since Enactins Of Las,
That State Shares.


That State Shares.
Sioux Falls, S. d.. March 6-What IL
believed to be the first application in
South Dakota for the terms of the inheri-
tance tax act. passed by the last legisla-
ture, is being made in the Minnehaha
county court III this city in the settlement
of the estate OF George l.. Storer, OF Madt-
son.
The law went into effect last July. but
up to this time no APPLICATION Of Its pro-
visions had been made in this county or
elsewhere IN the state. Lying in Minne-
.haha county and in the city OF Sioux Falls
to the estate of the late Mr.. Storer Ac-
cordtng to the provisions Of the law this
property is not exempt
The exemptions in this case are the
amounts OF 5000 to each of the sons and
daughters and $4,000 to the widow. Three
children of the late Mr.. Storer received
the amount exempted by law from the dt
vision of the property in Lake county. and
the widow also was provided for to the
extent of the exemption from the same
properties.
When the will was brought to the atten-
lion OF County Judge Bailey he remem-
bered something of the division of the
property outside of Minnchaha county and
decided the inheritance tax should apply.
special appraiser was appointed and
submitted his apra.sement, which showed
the estate to approximate s35 COO in value.
The tax on this property amounting to
800 will have to be paid to the county
treasurer before title to it can be given to
the heirs. The case may be contested. and
1t is possible that the stare supreme court
may be called upon to render decision
as to the const.tutionality OF the new
'aw.
