INHERITANCE TAXES.

The New York Commercial remark:
that ito die rich is an expensive lux
ury." 1t condoles with the heirs OF
multi millionaires on being required
! to pay for the mere privilege of in
h: riting fortune" on which reg
ular'' taxes have been paid by its late
possessor, and says that while such a
! tax is legal, ''th9 justice of it is
/ Questionable" and if inheritances are
taxed by both the federal government
and the state, the tax 1becomes pre-
posterous."
This is naturally the view Of the very
rich. But there is another side to the
question, which they ignore. While
alive they do not pay taxes in pro-
portion to their possessions, as COM
pared with the masses of poorer peo-
pie. They never have done so, and no
Imaginable, workable law will ever
compel them to do so.

ton, and the man who is worth Il
million times as much as another is
bortariff taxed only perhaps two or
three times as much as his poor neigh
ic a hn n
consumption, though the percentage is
heavier as a rule on the articles con-
timillionaire can consume only a few
multiples at most of the value sof the
stuff consumed by the poor man. On
this one consideration alone a heavy
inheritance tax is entirely justifiable.
But the very rich man is favored
even more in the matter of direct
taxation, at least, in large eastern
cities. In New York only two or
three men pay a direct tax ION over
$1000,000, although there are hun
dreds of milionaires in that city, and
most of them pay on only a few thou
sand dollars. often on no more than
the men who have little, if anything,
beyond a modest home And this is
also the case in Boston, PHILADELPHIA,
and all large cities, and to a less ex-
tent, throughout the country The
very rich, as a rule, are not assessed
on more than a small fraction of their
wealth, and even the assessment that
is made is frequently "sworR off,
These are amply sufficient reasons
for heavy inheritance tax, even with
out presenting the argument that the
more a man has the more valuable to
him is the laws protection of it and
Of his possession of it.

Mr.. Archambeau, representing the

dissatisfaction among property own

Granitoid pavement, but when inter-
viewed today number of those tax
payers expressed themselves as per-
fectly willing that the granitoid be

Barber asphalt representative to Sc
cure signatures to his petition last
week is evidence that property own
ers are generally well pleased with
things as they are, and members Of
the council say they will not throw
the city liable to the Blome company
by revoking any contracts at this late
date and re-advertising for bids. A.

Omaha daily bee., 1909-10-02

Of hundred yards to the right Of the train,
Again, still closer, four waterbuck cows,
their big ears thrown forward, stared at
US without moving, until we had passed.
Hartebeests were everywhere, one herd
was on the track, and when the engine
whistled they bucked and sprang with un-
calmly agility and galloped clear of the
danger. A long-tailed straw-colored monkey
ran from one tree to another. Huge black
ostriches appeared from time to time. once
a troop Of impalla, close by the track took
fright, and as the beautiful creatures fled
we saw now one and now another bound
clear over the huge bushes. A herd of
zebra clattered across a cutting Of the line
not 100 yards ahead OF the train, the
whistle hurried their progress, but only for
a moment, and as we passed they were
already turning round to gaze. The wild
creatures were in their sanctuary, and
they knew it. Some of the settlers have
at times Erumbled at this game reserve
being kept at such size, but surely It is
one Of the most aluable POSSESSIONS the
country could have. The lack Of water in
parts, the prevalence in other parts Of
diseases harmful to both civilized man and
domestic cattle, render this great tract Of
country the home Of all homes for the
wild creatures Of the waste. The protection
given these Wild creatures is genuine, not
nominal; they are preserved, not for the
pleasure OF the few, but for the good Of
all who wish to see this strange and at
tractive spectacle, and from this nursery
and breeding ground the overflow keeps
up the stock of game in the adjacent land,
to the benefit OF the settler to whom the
game gives fresh meat, and to the benefit
Of the whole country because Of the at
traction it furnishes to all who desire to
visit a veritable happy hunting ground.
Hunting the wndebeest.
Our hunt after wildbeest this afternoon
was successful; but though by welt law
each animal was mine, because / hit it
first, yet in reality the credit was com
munistic, so to speak, and my share was
properly less than that OF others. I first
tried to get up to a solitary old bull. and
after a good deal Of maneuvering and by
taking advantage Of a second rail squall
l got a standing shot at him at 400 yards,
and hit him, but too far back. Although
keeping a good distance away, he lacked
and veered so as he ran that by much
running myself l got various other shots
at him at very long range. but missed them
all and he finally galloped over a distant
ridge his long tail switcninJ seemingly
not much he worse. We followed on horse
back; for ! hate to let any wounded thing
escape to suffer. But meanwhile he had
run into View OF Kermit; and Kermit

Wild animals, but birds abounded. and the
scenery vas both beautiful and interesting.
A black-and-white hornbill, feeding on the
track, rose so late that we nearly caught
1t with our hands; guinea-fowI and franco
lin, and occasionally bustard, rose near by;
brilliant rollers, sunbirds, bee-eaters and
weaver birds flew beside us, or sat unmoved
among the trees as the train passed. In the
dusk we nearly ran over a hyena; a year
or two previously the train actually did
run down a lioness one night, and the con-
ductor brought in her head in triumph. In
