INHERITANCE TAX
LARGEST AMOUNT EVER TURN
ED IN ALONG THIS LINE.
Berkeley County Breaks Record Fer
Smallest Inheritance Tax Turned
IN, Is Cents.

! Charleston, Sept 2s.-The larges
COLLECTION Of collateral inherf ancl
taxes in the history Of this state, wat
made this week BY the state tax com
missioner department At the sam,
time the record was broken by tn,
largest collector ever made, aaothel
record was broken when the mall
est collection of collateral inherit
ance tax was received The largest
sum ever paid to the state as inner
itance taxes was s34,4S799, collected
from the estate Of the late Alexander
LANG, of Wheeling. The smallest
sum ever paid to the state in this
same line was 26 cents and II came
from Berkeley county.
For several monthes the tax depart.
ment has been working ON the estate
left by Mr.. LANG after his death,
which occurred several months ago.
The collection of the inheritance tax
was made under the act of 1887, as
amended and re-enacted by the legis-
lature of 1904. This law was sufficient
for the collection Of the large sum as
it provides for the collection of a col
lateral inheritance tax when an es-
tate is left to others than direct lineal
descendants.
The large Laing estate was divided
through the will of the deceased
among many relatives, but there
were no direct lineal descendants.
The large Laing estate was divided
through the will of the deceased
among many relatives, but there were
no direct lineal descendants, the near
est relative being sister and even
on this Inheritance the old law pro-
vides for a tax The new inheritance
tax law. passed by the legislature of
1907, which became effective on May
&c, broadens the scope OF the old law,
by imposing a tax upon an inherit
ance secured by lineal descendants
when the inheritance is more than
$4,000. In this case It was unnec-
essary to give the new law trial as
the old one was sufficient.
Several months ago c. w. Dering
was appointed the inheritance tax
clerk in the office of Tax Commits
sioner White and the returns for the
past year from this department alone
amounts to s7,03S.31 collected from
the estate Of persons who died since
the law of 1887 has been in force. A
great deal of work has been necessary
through the fed agents and also
through the office to make this excel
lent showing as many estates have
been Investigated by the agents of
the state The work ON the Laing es-
tate has required several months and
naturally the department is well
pleased with the result, xn.g5.
