One of the natural curiosities of
south Mashonaland is a German
sausage tree" 1t bears deep crimson
flowers, three inches long. in blazing
punches Of twelve, but when the tree
fruits into fat, substantial, sausage
like pods there remain no leaves, and
it looks like a sausage larder indeed.
These beans are twenty inches long
and twelve inches I'm girth and are be-
loved Of the native tribe Of Shangaans
and balloons. But the tribe Of the
Karenga are a very superior people
and would never deign to eat them.
There can be no reason for this, as

sages" Of being connected in any way
with dogs OF cats.-Natal Witness.

"MATUSHKA VOLGA."
Melody of Sorrow Heard In Prison ard
Palace In Russia.

Palace In Russia.
There is an air SO popular in Russia
that it is even more familiar than their
national anthem to the people of that
great, mysterious empire. L have heard
it in all parts of the czar's dominions
from the Baltic sea to Boring strait
and from Archangel to the Caspian, in
the glittering palaces of Petersburg
and in foul prison dens of Siberia.
1t is a simple melody in the minor
key, suggestive, like most Slav music,
of sorrow and unrest, and it Is called
"AIatushka (or Mother) Volga," as for
some cryptic reason every Russian, be
he noble or nihilist, is taught from
childhood to regard this great river in
the light of n maternal relative. Yet
the river is full of sad associations,
ror convicts formerly travelled a por-
ton of the journey to Siberia along its
broad, sluggish stream.
1 can never forget the haunting
sweetness of 'Matushka Volga" as l
heard it sung on a prison barge one
quiet summer evening by a party Of
fettered politicals banished to the
great lone land Of exile, for Mother
Volga" was their last link with home
and the loved ones they might never
meet again.
Fortunately the condemned are now
sent into Asia by the Transsiberian
railway, and the unhappy exile is
spared at least one bitter parting-that
from his we'll beloved Mother Volga.

contests of the age, when the gun fired
and the first dog team shot down the mar
row, roped way, thickly lined with excited
spectators, and so started the second an
nual al1-A1aska sweepstakes, under the
auspices Of the None Kennel Club.
All of the features Of this race are
unique, original and full of human inter-
est And when one takes into considera-
tion time, place and governing conditions,
1t causes the Marathon aid even the great
Derby to pale into insignificance.
1t is race among teams of dogs! 1t is
a supreme endurance test, for man and
beast. as the struggle against the fierce
elements raging in the wild north cannot
be considered secondary, as important
determining factors, to speed equipment,
training, etc. 1t is over a course cover
ing a distance of 202 miles to the town Of
Candle, and 2O2 miles back to Nome, this
course being selected because it involves
travel over every sort OF trail found in
the country. Along the narrow path, at
the edge of the frozen Bering sea; down
the coast, made rugged by the wind-piled
mountains of ice hummOcks; over frozen
rivers weakened in places by the presence
of hot springs; across mountain ranges,
with the snow and Sieet lashing like
Inyriads of circling steel blades, and on to
the broad sweep of tundra. where the
wind and frost compete to make 1t we'll

ones which have none are Alabama,

In the other thirty-six states. also Porto

heritance taxes, the doubling would have
varying effect, due to the great variety of
state laws. There would be no doubling
in the Philippines, however, since the
Payne bill specifically excepts that de-
pendency.
And let us see how some Of these thirty
six states, already having inheritance
taxes, would be affected by the doubling.
In California, Idaho, North Carolina and
Wisconsin the possible assessment on big
legacies to collateral relatives or strangers
would go up to a maximum OF 70 per cent,
or one-fifth, since those states have slid

would make the 20 per cent Ipentione9.
In Texas and Washington state there

a maximum of II per cent
In South Dakota the collateral maxi

federal fiat rate of per cent, makes ID

II Proposed inheritance Tax and the Resultant Death Duies

that we should ultimately have to consid-
er a progressive tax on all fortunes be-
yond certain amount. either given in
life or devised or bequeathed upon
DEATH an idea upon which he elaborated
In his message of 1906.
How the multimillionaires would be af-
fected by the proposed law is interesting
to consider. On the basis of table Civ
ing the alleged fortunes of our richest
men-a table said to have been recently
compiled by New York financier-it
can be computed that the following
amounts of inheritance tax would result
from a doubling of the New York state
law and proposed federal law. presuppos-
ing, of course, that these millionaires

tirely settled in New York and were left

of H. A. Havemeyer, $2,OOOOOO.
OF these amounts the state of New
York would receive one-fourth and the
federal government three-fourths, the

not only double but triple taxation in
states which have such a tax levied In the
same year with property tax; because it
would cause hardships in cases of deaths
in quick succession: because 1t would
therefore he unjust to- families with low
hereditary rates of longevity; because it
is "tax on widows and orphans; be-
cause it discouraSes industry and thrift
and drives away capital: because II is
easily evaded by gifts during life and
because almost all estates are pressed for
ready money at the time that it would
fall due.
The arguments for 1t are quite as va
ried 1t is praised because it would be
tax according to the ability of the tax
payer and a means of collecting taxes
which have been evaded by property own
ers during their lives: because 1t would
minimize chances of fraud, being payable
while property is passing under the eye
of the probate court and would therefore
be an improved method of reaching per-
sonal property otherwise easily hidden;
because it would tax the stocks and bonds
of big corporations upon the death OF
their owners: because its progressive fea-
ture would even things up with the rich,
whose wealth, chiefly. property tax
fails to reach: because 1t would be capi-
talized income tax paid once in a genera
ton instead of once a year; because it
would be paid after death and hence at
the time most convenient for the taxi
payer: and because 1t would encourage
the distribution of large fortunes during
the lives of owners and thus tend toward
a better distribution of wealth.

the drivers ride very little. but are of
necessity kept running to hold the sled
in position by means of the handle bars.
They dress very lightly, but usually keep
fur garment to don as soon as stop
is made. To enable the drivers to follow
the course of the race the club had
stakes. six feet in height, to which were
attached red flags, placed in the snow at
intervals of 100 feet.
Many theories have been advanced by
the wise dog mushers, and as many were
followed during the first race. regarding
the best food for the travelling beasts.
The winning team last year was fed on
ground fresh steaks at S5 cents pound,
lamb chops, same price, the idea of this
latter being that the dogs would not bolt
their food If they had a bone. But most
of the drivers fed their dogs the usual
ratlon-salmon trout with seal oil, the
cheapest food the country affords and
the lightest to carry for long trips, as
one pound day suffices for dog on
the trail.
The first race was run April 1, 1908,
with ten entries. The teams were
started two hours apart beginning at
10 am, the last team leaving at am.
or the day following. Choice for posi-
t1on In the start was made by draw.
The most desirable position was consid-
cred to be last, as it gave the trails
chance to be beaten down. This po-
sftion happened to be chosen by the
team which won.

and late in the summer DIR. Max West
of Columbia University. New York, who
was perhaps the greatest authority
the inheritance tax in this country, and
who died some weeks ago just after COM
pletins the second edition of his exhaus-
tive treatise on the question. said "<
Although the form of double taxation is
far less Objectionable in practice than
the levying of both state and local taxes
on property assessed locally. yet it might
be said to argue, if not a breach of fed
eral comfy, at least a certain lack OF
system in the nations finances" DR..
West suggested that Congress should
leave the inheritance tax exclusively to
the states. and should tax interstate bus-
ness instead-should reach the proceeds
of interstate commerce, which are out
of the effective reach of the states. The
legislature of Wisconsin in 1901 memo
riaiized Congress to repeal the Spanish
war inheritance tax, and pointed out that
if the law remained "a large, amount of
property in the country will be subject
to double taxation"
The constitutionality of the state in
heritance tax laws has been repeatedly
tested in the courts and has usually been
sustained Those which have had to be
reframed have generally been held to have
had some specific flaw. although sound in
principle When our first national inheri-
tance tax, that of the civil war; came be-
fore the Federal Supreme Court, where it
was held to be a direct tax and therefore
d
excise and therefore constitutional Again
our Spanish war inheritance tax-the
stamp tax probates of wills and let
ters of administration-was attacked
on the ground that the federal govern
ment was without authority to tax the
transmission or receipt of property, but
the Supreme Court denied that the states
power Of regulation was what was taxed
The Supreme Court has also denied the
contention that the progressive scale Of
the Illinois state inheritance tax violated
the fourteenth amendment. In this case
Justice Brewer gave the only dissenting
opinion. Thus was it settled by the
highest tribunal of the land that pro-
gressive taxation is not a denial of the
equal protection of the laws. But the
constitutionality of the exemption feature
of inheritance taxes seems to be still
hanging fire.
Summing up the principal criticisms of
the proposed death duty. we find 1t con-
demned because it would be class dis
