THE INHERITANCE TAX

President Taft strongly recon-
mended the incorporation of an
Inheritance tax feature in the new
tariff measure. In this he was
taking the position that Mr..
Roosevelt sustained, who fire.
quently expressed his views fav-
orably to such a measure. twill
be remembered that Mr.. Car
negie, in one of his striking utter.
ances, gave lis strong inderse-
ment to this tax. He declared
that the great fortunes Of Amer
lea have been built up through
signal opportunities, that they
are derived from the vast native
wealth Of the land, and that there
is pecgliar fines in having them
make recompepse, to American
society for the especial privileges
through which they were am
ased.
Whatever reasons exist.in for
eign countries for such. q tax
and it has been adopted by many
these reasons are strengthened
in the United States, 1t is not
here, however, so much case of
the exigencies as~the equities of
taxation.
Not the least feature of the
subject is that advanced by stu
dents of American society who
appoint to the tendencies to the
crystalization of massive fortunes
that become pooled in the enter
prise of the money kings.
Still the demand for an inheri.
lance tax IS not class demand.
1t is a demand that is primal in
the facts Of American life. There.
can be no reasonable objection to
it as federal measure. The
claim that the several states
should derive the, advantage is
puerile. Enterprise in this
country is national, certainly the
kinds of enterprise that develop
the mammoth fortunes. 1t is to
be hoped that in the tinkering
with the tariff measure, The ia.
come tax feature will not be i'm
paired.

A TAX FOR BNEARNED MILLIONS

"A bill for graduated inheri-
tance tax, ranging, from one per
cent. on an estate of ten thousand
10 twenty-five per cent. on an es-
tate twenty millions or above,
was introduced at Albany re-
Gently. On the same day the
newspapers reported that the
heir of one of the largest Ameri-
can fortNnes-derived from his
great-grandfather-had run over
from England for a fortnight to
settle arrangements for the horse
show, after which he would re-
turn to his regular occupation of
driving the smartest coach in
London. A little while before it
was noted that a man who inner.
tied few quarter sections of
land in the best part of Manhat-
tan had decided to enliven his
English house with several par
ties. 1t is estimated that two
children now at school in England
will receive somewhere from a
quarter to half a billion dollars
of American real and personal
property when their grand
fathers estate is divided accord.
ing to the terms of his will.
Such instances, which might be
multiplied indefinitely, argue,
even more for ce fully than
President Taft's inaugural rec.
ommendation, that it is high time
we had, either as Federal or
State measure, a really adequate
system of inheritance taxes.

certain that abler men would

Of a will leaving the estate
in trust. A good many States
have taken feeble steps in the

is one Of the twentieth ceatury that is
well calculated to drive tue cold chiIls up

Mrs. Williams, of Allen, Wicomico county,
who declares that on number of occas-
ions, especial after there had been a
death in the family, she has seen the
heirloom jump around the room like a
man who has dropped brick on his toe.
There is not neighbor of Mrs. Will
lisms who doubts her veracity for a mo-
ment, and, if they did she says she can
call in witnesses to substantiate her claims
for her pet. She hopes that the table
will stay in the family for many genera
tions to come, and probably il will, for
there are very few persons in this world
who would care to take the responsibility
of looking after table that periodically
goes on a rampage.

atiOn Of Good Roads Plan
The members of the Levy. Court At.
their meeting, Tuesday afternoon. speDt
the greater part Of their time in the
discussion Of the good roads and road i'm
provement question.
A. B. Boughner, preventative of a
good roads improvement concern Of Gin.
cinnati, with Offices ia Philadelphia.
appeared before the commissioners in an
effort to interest them ina proposition for
the binding OF their old roads and in
building new roads. His company pre-.
pares a sort Of an oil that is spread on the
road along with a covering Of crushed
rock that keeps the dust down and keeps
it from blowing away and at the same.
time prevents the water from entering
the road. He stated that the preparation
can be bought at abont $3.50 a mile. AS
bids for the construction of new roads and
the repairing Of some Of the old roads are
to be asked for in the near future, he
received the promise ofthe court to take
his preparation under advisement.
A long discussion was entered into by
the members relative to the repairing of
the road from Taylor's Bridge to
FIemming's Crossing. The road was built
last fall, but has not been accepted. The
legislature authorized the sale Of county
bonds to the amount Of $4,000 for the
construction of the road, and when the
engineers figured the costs, it was found
that there would be just enough money
from the appropriation to buildtb road
if it were made four inches deep This
was done, and now it >iss found that the
road is not sufficient to meet the demands
Of hauling and other traffic that are made
OH it, and the proposition of spreading
more rock On it and refnishing it 10 being
discussed by the members of the court.
It is probable that the question is one
that will absorb the attention OF the com.
missioners for some time to come, as they
are not all of the same opinion relative
to it.
At the morning session the members OF
the court heard the proposition of F. G.
Weber on beautifying the lawn about the
court house. lie proposed to make the
Iawl perpetual beauty spot by planting |
shrubbery and trees and small plants that
surVise the winter for the flowers that
are annually planted there and die in the
fall, He informed the court that the |
cost would not exceed $500. Several
members expressed themselves as being
in favor Of it, and others stated that they
thought the lawn beautiful, as it is at the |
present time as set with grass. It was
referred to the building committee.
The report Of County Treasurer Burns
was read and approved "a foIIowe.
