Income and Inheritance Tax.4-.ss
 There has been no change in the mind of the president conce ming the advisability of an income tax and an inheritance tax In the message he says:
 When our tax taws are revised the question of an income tax and an in- heritance tax should receive the care full attention of our legislators. In my judgment both of these taxes should be part of our system of federal taxation. I speak diffidently about the income tax because one scheme for an income tax was declared unconstitutional, by the, supreme court; while in addition it is a difficult tax to administer in its prac- tical working. Nevertheless, a grad uated income tax of the proper type would be a desirable feature of federap taxation. and it is to be hoped that one may be devised which the supreme court will declare constitutional The inheritance tax, however. is both a far better method of taxation. and far more important for the purpose of having the fortunes of the country bear in proportion to their increase in size q corresponding increase and burden of taxation The government has the ab- sofute right to decide as to the terms upon which man shall receive the be- quest or devise from another. and this point in the devolution of property is especially appropriate for the imposi- tion of tax"

WESTC0TT WILL is
FILED IN PROBATE
Terms Provide for the OiStri-
button of a Very VAL

WIDOW HAD A CONTRACT.
AFTER THE TERMS OF THIS ARE
MET THE SEVEN CHILDREN
WILL RECEIVE THE RESIDUE
OF THE ESTATE.

The will of John NJ. Westcott, who
died last Saturday night, has been pro-
bated in the circuit court. 1t was
drawn October 5. 1905. The will dis
poses of a very valuable estate, Mr..
Westcott being rated as a millionaire,
but the will does not throw any light
on the value of the estate and does not
set out any specific requests. The
will states that it was desired to avoid
any contention in settling the estate
and that the decedent and his second
wife, Grace E. Westcott. had a full un-
were mutually agreed. Her share in
the estate is governed by ante-nuptial
contract, the terms of which are to be
fulfilled by the executors and
trustees, who are Burton ].
Westcott, James A. Carr and Omar
Hollingsworth, who are to serve with
out bond. The widow receives practi-
cally all of the household goods at the
East Main street residence and also
the use of the residence for one year
free. After the terms of the contract
with the widow have been filled, the
executors are to divide the remain
der of the estate into seven equal
parts and distribute it to the seven
children, except in the case of Charles
Westcott, the balance due whom is to
be held in trust for himself and his
children, he to receive an income of
5000 a month. 1t is the desire of the
testator that the estate be settled inn
mediately. A previous will provided
for an equal distribution of the estate
among the children but it was neces-
sary to change this because of his sec
ond marriage

Committee Meets at Winona
To Apportion Money for
Evangelical Purposes.
WELL KNOWN MEN ATTEND.
DR.. w. j. DAWSON, LONDON
PREACHER, AND DR.. j. WILBUR
CHAPMAN WILL LEAD IN THE
EVANGELISTIC WORK..

Winona Lake, Ind, Aug. 2S-The
Presbyterian general assembiys COM
mittee on evangelistic work has be-
gun its annual meeting here and it
has brought together several of the
more eminent men of the church The
purpose of the committee is to appor-
ton among the synods the amount of
money each is to have for evangelis-
I tic purposes during the coming year.
and this has brought many superin-
tendents of home fields to Winona
Lake that they may make known
their needs to the committee Some
of the synods contribute from their
own resources enough money to sup
port their home mission efforts. Some
of them give more than enough, the
surplus passing through the commit
tees hands to the weaker synods
Many prominent men are attending.
Last year the committee. on evan
gelistic work spent $4,000 in the
south and southwest, while its expen-
ditures among the synods was many
times this amount. Three of the self
supporting missions are the synods of
Indiana. Ohio and Illinois.
The most important question to
come before the committee at its
present meeting is that of operations
adopted by the general assembly at
it's meeting at Columbus. last spring
This plan requires that the commit
tee turn over the evangelistic work
in home mission fields to the board
of home missions, while the commit
tee on evangelistic work shares the
expense of the work in the south.
DR.. w. J. Dawson. formerly one of
the most famous of London's preach
ers and teachers, will spend consid-
cradle time this winter in the work of
the evangelistic committee. appearing
with Dr. j. Wilbur Chapman and his
evangelists in their campaigns. He
intends TO spend the rest of his life in
this country. He now lives in Massa-

The lows of Relic Huntino.

Quite apart from the beauty and in
trinsic worth of such things, it is as
tonishing on looking back on ones ex.
periences Of collecting to realize how
much pleasure one las got out of even
a dilettante quest Of antiques. The ex-
hilarating JOY Of this treasure hunt, the
finding of the treasure. the bargaining
for il and the final bearing of it home
in triumph. unwrapping it and dis
cussing its beauties and merits. are
things which add zest TO life. And, as
the taste for beautiful old things is
more or less an acquired one and can
be cultivated. this is 4 joy in which
most people who are fortunate enough
to have little spare cash and little
spare time can share.-London Taller.

General Superintendent Nc
Carly Makes Reply to
Commercial Club.
INTERCHANGE OF FREIGHT.
CERTAIN OBJECTIONS NEGO.
TIATIONS ON WITH THE c., C.
e. L. ROAD.

The Panhandle railroad company has
made answer to the petition of the
Richmond Commercial club that an in.
terchange freight switch be put in and
unlike the c., c. & L., it is not favor
able one. The answer is from General
Superintendent McCarty and says that
the Panhandle is willing to have the
interchange, but likewise says there are
many things which stand in the way
The Panhandle official declares, how
ever, that his road has entered into ne
gotiations with the c., c. & L.
A copy of the answer has been sent
TO the state railroad commission and
to Attorney Ray K. Shiveley, repre-
senting the Commercial club.
A hearing of the case has been set for
September >, by the railroad commits
sion.
In his letter superintendent McCarty
first sets forth the case at issue which
is the Commercial club of Richmond
VS.. the Panhandle and c., c. & l.. rail-
roads.
He then proceeds as follows: by
way of answer to the compliments in
the above entitled proceeding. the
Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and st.
Louis Railway company, in its own be-
half, respectfully represents that the
intersection or crossing of the two
railroads referred to in the petition of
the complainants. is by means of an
overhead crossing, and that the cross
ing is located in the immediate vicin-
ity of the yards and terminal tracks of
the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and
ST. Louis railway in the city of Rich
mOnd. Indiana: that owing to the ele-
walton of one of the roads above the
other at the said crossing, a connection
between said roads directly through
one of the angles formed by said cross
ing is physical impossibility; that to
make such connection in the immediate
vicinity of said crossing through the
terminal property of the Pittsburg,
Cincinnati. Chicago and ST. Louis rail-
way, would result in the partial de-
struction of, and serious interference
with the operation of said company's
terminal yards and tracks, in connec-
ton with the objects and purposes for
which they were purchased and are
now used; that there may be some
method for providing for the connec-
ton between said railroads in the city
of Richmond. but the selection of any
suitable location would necessarily be
attended with much difficulty and the
construction of it cannot be accom-
plished without the expenditure of a
large amount of money; that said Pitts
burg, Cincinnati, Chicago and ST. Lou
is Railway company has entered into
negotiations with the Chicago. Cincin-
natl and Louisville Railroad company,
in good faith. with the view of cooper
ating with said company in the deter
mination of suitable location for said
connection

There is a distinct joy in owning

or anything else which men have de-

part of Gods estate in the globe. and
when a parcel of ground is decided to
