Revenue from Death Duties.

The new English budget provides
not only a death duty of Is per cent,
but a succession duty of five per cent.
How this operates is seen in the case
of Charles Morrison, a millionaire,
who died, leaving an estate estimated
at between 100000 900 and SIS, 900, 900.
The state will receive in taxes more
than $4,000, 900. This is by no mean
an unjust proportion; 1t might, in
deed, be very much increased and yet
not represent In undue exaction in be-
half of society.

GIVE
RATE REDUCTIONS
Terminal Charges to Spokane and
Inland Points.

WASHINGTON. D. c., May a.
Radical resolutions in western freight
rates are being outlined before the
Interstate commerce commission to-
day by traffic officials Of the Hill and
Hartman railroads, who have finally
perfected plan for the readjustment
OF rate schedules applying from Chi
cago and points east of the Missouri
river to intermediate Pacific points,
like Spokane, Salt Lake City and Re-
no, Nevada. in accordance with the
commissions instructions in the
Spokane rate case.
The plan is presented by J. C.
Stubs, of Chicago, traffic director OF
the Hartman system, and ]. G.
Woodwork, general traiffic manager
OF the Northern Pacific railway. 1t
will show reductions amounting in
many cases to from 25 to so per cent,
affecting practically every commodity
except those on which water competi-
ton at the coast terminals is es-
pecially keen. This will be accom-
plished by applying the coast rates
to the intermediate cities in place of
the present practice of adding to the
coast rate, supposed to be fixed by
water competition, the local rate
back, a practice which has long been
the occasion for vigorous complaints
from the commercial interests OF the
intermediate cities.
