State May Expend Million and Half.
Auditor of State B. F.. Carroll, in
his biennial report filed with the gov
ernor, estimates that 1896, GOO will
be available for extraordinary appro-
priations by the Thirty-third general
assembly. In view of the fact that
the board of control asks for the
state institutions much less appro-
priations than in former years, and
on account of other large expendi-
lures OF the state for improvements,
such as the soldiers monuments and
historical building, and the rebuild
ing of the institutions have been com.
plete, the coming legislature will find
appropriations one Of it's easy tasks.
Auditor Carroll's estimate of the or.
binary expenditures of the state for
the biennial period ending June 30.
1911 based upon the present general
laws and the expenditures during the
last fiscal period amounts to 1921.
600. This does not include any special
or extraordinary appropriations which
may be made by the Thirty-third gen.
eral assembly.

he $4,000 fee for filing articles of
Incorporation which the state claims
and for about 100000 in penalty ac-
eruing for failure to file when the
corporation started to do business six
fears ago.
The attorney general supposes that
t will not be necessary to litigate
he question of the fee for fling the
articles, assuming that the corpora
lion will promptly liquidate the claim
lpon which the state insists. But 1t
Is supposed that here will be resist
ince in the courts to the claim by
he state for large penalty from the
corporation for failing to file its arti-
cles.
These matters were presented be-
ore the executive council few days
ago and the council referred them to

Inheritance Tax Endorsed.

direct inheritance tax may be ad.
vocated by the Iowa tax revision CON-
mission, which will meet in Dee
Moines the second week i'm Deem
Der. In the last legislative session
such a proposition was advanced and
bill affecting the matter was pass
ed by the senate, although the house
turned 1t down in the last days OF
the session. The law. as proposed,
would compel all direct inheritances
above a certain sum-the law propos
ed last year fixed $4,000 as the mini
mum-to pay small per cent of tax,
gradually increasing as the, estate
grew larger. This is as near an
income tax as it seems possible
to get and it was advocated vigorous
ly by legislative commission ap-
pointed last year by the state SEN
ate. 1t would result in payment OF
very large sum of taxes to the pub
lie treasury and tend to equalize the
burdens, it is said.

The indications are that only two
parties, the republican and the demo

primary election in Iowa, In June,

ical party entitled to participate in
the primary election of candidates for
Office is defined to be an organization
which cast for it's candidate for gov
ernor per cent or more of the total
