inheritance Tax Law.

Much Misunderstanding exists as
to facts concerning the operation OF
.the inheritance tar law that was
held TO be constitutional by the
Court Of Appeals. The Law does
not apply to devises made TO the
immediate family or any lineal de-
scendants, but only applies TO estates
that are left to outsiders, companies,
corporations or in trust for them.
The Law provides that the Coun-
ty Clerk shall certify to the Sheriff
the amount OF all devises that are
subject TO tax, and the Sheriff col
lects the money from the executor
or administrator Of the estate,
the tar to be deducted by him from
the amount paid to each devisee. II
the tax is paid within nine months
after the death of the owner of the
estate, a discount Of per cent will
be allowed, but il not paid in Is
months interest at the rate of 10 per
cent will be charged for the time
that il is overdue.
All the tax goes to the State OF
Kentucky and, according to last
years collection 5, will not amount
to such large sum after all, as on
ly S12,9o4 was collected for the last
fiscal year ending June 80, 1908.
The total amount collected by the
State since the law went into effect
up to October % is S1s,946.

Mr.. Wilson, of Washington, p. c.,
objected to the district jail system be-
cause there was no employment, neither
industrial nor educational work being
provided. In the larger prisons tile
reason given is that many of the small
er county jails have but a few inmates
and cannot afford to keep up shops
and places of employment for their
men. Mr.. Wilson said the time would
soon come when the government would
have a model penitentiary in Wash
ington. Government prisoners from
that city are now taken to other States
for incarceration.
