PAYING THE INHERITANCE TAX.

The payment of the inheritance tax
on the Creighton estate under protest.
setting forth that the Nebraska inheri-
tance tax law should be declared un-
constitutional and that. even II valid,
1t should not apply to the bulk of this
estate. will hardly be taken as a pro-
test in good faith.
In the first place, the Nebraska law
has been passed on by our supreme
court and its constitutionality upheld
as against the very points now raised
by the Creighton estate lawyers. In
the second place, the alleged ex-
emptions of charitable and religious
bequests are not tenable because the
constitution of Nebraska does not of
itself exclude them and the only ex-
emptions provided for by law are those
for direct heirs limited to a specific
sum. All the objections now raised
to the inheritance tax have been urged
against every inheritance tax law that
has ever been enacted in this country,
aHu yet SUN laws dlS III OHSi iotAOh
today in thirty-seven of the forty-six
states.
The Creighton estate protest calls
attention, however, to several defects
in the Nebraska law which should be
remedied. One of these defects is
that the law requires payment
of the tax before the amount
due can be judicially determined.
Another is that it makes the
interest penalty begin to accrue before
the estate need be distributed, and
sometimes before the validity of the
will of the deceased may have been
adjudicated. These defects. however,
are merely administrative and tech
nical and do not necessarily affect the
legality or the justice of the inheri-
tance tax
With more than $4,000 at stake,
however, 1t would not be surprising,
especially in view of the fat legal
pickings already pulled out of this es-
tate, to find plenty of volunteer law
yers ready to chance a fee on beating
the county out of all or part of the in
heritance taxes assessed against the
Creighton properties, but the heirs
and beneflciaries should feel that they
have been pretty we'll treated and be
glad to let well enough alone.

NO FIrANc1AL sAcRIFlcn.

Congressman Littleheld of Maine,
who has resigned to re-enter the law,
has added his contribution to the
growing volume of fiction about the
financial loss that congressman suffer
by serving their constituents. Mr.. Lit
tlefeld explains as the chief reason
for his retirement from public life
that during his nine years in congress
he has suffered "a large financial loss"
and is constrained from a sense of
duty to his family to resume the prac-
tice of law"
1t is the perfect. right of Mr.. Little
field. as of every other member of con-
gress to make all the money he can le-
ultimately and to resign from congress
to better himself II he deems best,
but It is unfair and, in most cases un-
true, to pretend that members of con-
gress serve at a financial sacrifice.
The pay of a congressman is now
| $500 per annum. with mileage and
allowances for clerk hire and station
cry that make these perquisites bring
5000 to $1,000 more. He has hand
somely furnished Offices and every
facility for the dispatch OF business
public and private. without expense
His duties keep him in Washington
but nine Of the twenty-four months OF
his term. leaving him more than hall
of his time to attend to his personal
or professional affairs.
In Mr.. Littlehelds case the record
shows that his membership in congress
has o6erated to his distinct hnancia
advantage. With the possible excep
ton of Mr.. Tillman and Mr.. La Fol
lette, no member of congress has beer
in greater demand as a lecturer thar
Mr.. Littleheld. He has talked across
the continent and back several timel
in the last five years and has doubt
less fully doubled his salary by hi
lecture engagements. There is n,
means of ascertaining what his incom
from his law practice was before h.
went to congress. but it was hardl
more than $1,000 a year, His hom
town OF Rockland is a mere village
and the indications are that his meIl
bership In congress has given him
prominence which has attracted offer
of lucrative legal employment whic
