Wibaux Clippings

From the Pioneer, Oct. A.
Among the happy events of the
week. in which busy little Cupid
reaps a reward for several months
Of diligent work, was the marri-
age of Chas. T. Genzel and Myrtle
Mae Pooler. which occurred at
the Gate City about the hour of
nine on Tuesday evening, Rev.

CALCULATIONS and best wishes.
Some time ago move was
made by a number Of our towns
men to erect a large building for
an opera house and public hall,
though, for numerous reasons, the
proposition fell through. and ap-
parantly was forgotten. Of late,
however, the matter has been con-
sidered by Mr.. Rucker, who was
also one Of the interested parties
from the start, and who has now
decided to erect the building, al
though it will not be on the same
plan as was previously made. The
contract was awarded the first of
the week to the Kalmen Construc-
tion Co. and the construction work
has aready begun. The dimensions
is of the building are 25x75 feet or
the exact size of the Exchange
bar, and will be erected over the
latter building. Pressed brick
will be used in the front walls and
hard wood for the floor. The plans
for the new building were furnish.
ed by Mr.. Kalmen of the Kalmen
Construction Co., who informs
US that the building will be COM
pleted by Dec. /. A structure of
this kind in Wibaux has long been
necessity, and although it will
doubtless prove profitable invest.
ment from the start, Mr.. Rucker is
to be commended for the move in
that direction.

various repairs to the motor.
The little girl of the house watched
and then remarked:

mechanic. "Why, no; not particularly

The application of this law in Illi-
nois has resulted in the collection of
taxes on personal property in many
cases where the owner of the property
evaded taxes during lifetime Person
al property taxation is largely nominal
in Illinois; the laws are not enforced
and probably cannot be enforced un-
der existing conditions. An honest
schedule of personal property is pen
allied for his honesty under a strict
enforcement of the laws; as in other
states there is need of a thorough re-
modelling of the statutes governing
taxation. With such remodeling the
state may either depend more large
ly on the taxation OF property at the
death of its owner than heretofore or
may abandon such taxation in favor
of more equitable taxation during the
lifetime of the owner, leaving to the
national government the heavy tax
alton proposed at death.

needed and it is certain to give quick
relief Give it a trial and see for
yourself how quickly it relieves the

Construction work on the new O,
Il. & n. depot for Pendleton will be
started within 80 days. That was the
announcement made at the council
meeting last evening by W. j. Nor
row. tax agent for the o. r. & n.
company, following the passage of an
ordinance giving the company the
right to run its tracks across Aura and
Lilleth streets, as requested. The an
nouncement was greeted with cheers
from those present.
In addition to the closing of the
deal for the new depot. the council
last evening also adopted a resolution
formally transferring the cltys lots
in the east end of town to the wooden
mill company. This was done that
no delay may be encountered in the
construction of the plant. The reso-
luton was presented by Attorney c.
II. Carter, acting for the company.
That the merchants of the city pro-
pose to keep tab on their patrons and
protect themselves If possible, from
being left to hold the sack" is evil
dent from a proposition presented to
the county last evening. a committee
representing the Credit Mems asso-
| citation appeared and asked that an
ordinance be passed, requiring all
draymen to report to the recorder
every trunk or other article of bag
gage or furniture hauled to the de-
pot BY such an odinance it is hoped
by the merchants that they will be
able to keep better tab on their
patrons who ask for credit 1t was
referred to a committee.
Regulations for the distribution of
water to lots in the cemetery were
adopted last evening. A charge OF
three dollars per year per lot will be
made, a percentage OF this going in
to the cemetery fund to keep up the
water system and a percentage going
to the sexton to pay him for taking
care of the lots. Those who have do
mated to the cemetery water fund
will be given credit for the amount
| of their contributions.
Arrangements will also be made for
the convenience of those moving out
of the city. These can, by depositing
certain sum, arrange for the per-
manent care of the lots. The amount
of this deposit is yet to be determin-
ed.
The Lee street bridge question also
came up last evening and a commit
tee was appointed to confer with the
county commissioners with regard to
the construction Of the proposed new
steel bridge At the suggestion OF
Mayor Murphy te committee will in
vestigate the proposition Of either
wooden or concrete flooring for the
structure and it is probable that con-
tractors will be asked to bid on eth
er or both.

MEANING AND JUSTIFICATION Of
THE PROPOSED INHERITANCE TAX

In proposing a tax on inheritance
President Taft is following one of
the polices of President Roosevelt, an
nounced in that strenuous executives
message of April II, 1906. The tax
has been suggested by both President
Roosevelt and President Taft to apply
only in case enough revenue for the
national governments needs in some
way apart from customs and internal
revenue duties. In the light of pros
pective deficit in national revenues
there seems a need Of some change
from the ways and means of the past,
and so both the new president and
congress are looking hopefully to tax
alton Of the fortunes of the dead.
It is nothing new for the govern
ment Of the United States to impose
such a tax as a means Of revenue. In
1877 when, in the language Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, "the makers of the
constitution were alive and at the
head of affairs" such a tax was laid.
It was graduated precisely as the pro-
posed tax may be, small for those of
little fortune, large for those who had
acquired much. Exceptions were made
for close kin, as it is proposed in al
modern inheritance laws to make ex-
ceptions. A like tax was imposed by
the act Of July l, 1862, for the needs
Of the civil war. In 1898 the Spanish
war revenue act provided for an in
feritance tax on any sum over s10,-
900. and this act was declared valid
by the supreme court Of the United
States on the ground that it was not
a direct tax, but an impost, which was
held both constitutional and valid.
Not a New Idea.
There are precedents, then, for the
proposed national taxation Of inherit
ances. But a new element comes in
where the dual government Of the
United States is considered Thirty
five Of the 45 states now have Inherit
ance taxation as a means Of state rev.
enue within their limits. Any trial
by the national government Of law to
tax inherited fortunes will bring into
conflict the national and state powers.
The hint Of such a contest is contain
ed in the resolution that has been in
troduced in the Connecticut general

Many people object to taking the
strong medicines usually prescribed
by physicians for rheumatism. There
is no need of internal treatment in any
case of muscular or chronic rheuma-
tism, and more than nine out of every
ten cases Of the disease are of one or
the other of these varieties. When
there is no fever and little Qf any
swelling, you may know that it is
only necessary to apply Chamber

assembly, protesting against any at
tempt Of the national government to
levy an inheritance tax on tn ground
that it is the states due and not the
nations
The lawmakers Of the united States
instinctively turn to be experinec of
the old world in considering an inher-
itance tax. Nearly all the states of
continental Europe have had such a
tax in operation for years and seem
in no way inclined to abandon it,
Great Britain by the finance act of
1907, may tax an estate one fourth of
its value as a maximum limit the
death duties" running from one per
cent on an estate running $500 to 25
per cent on an estate running above
SIS, 900, 900 in value. These duties
from a large part Of the national rev.
enue of Britain from direct taxation.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that the direct taxes in Britain
amour to 52.S per cent of the total
revenue and that in the United States
there have been no direct taxes since
1888, when they amounted to only
1856. The total revenue of Great Bri-
tian for the year 1907-S was about
$3.50, 900, 900 and that for the United
States in the same year was $780,
5000.
Is Held to Be Just
The lesson of the foregoing figures
is, if the United States is to follow the
example of older nations, that direct
taxes must become larger part of the
nations revenue in future than in for
mer years. But aside from the histor-
ical side Of the matter, the inheritance
tax is strongly urged by President
Taft, as 1t was urged by President
Roosevelt, as being just and economi-
cally sound. In this connection thel
question arises how national and state
taxation under the inheritance prlnci-
pie may be reconciled. II the nation
is to tax inheritances, must not the,
tax laws Of the several states be rel
cast?
In Illinois estates have been taxed
since the enforcement Of the act of
1895, which has been upheld by the
United States supreme court. 1t should
be said here that the principal Of the
inheritance tax has been sustained
clearly and definitely several times byl
the court of last resort in this coun-
try, as the principle Of the graduated
income tax has been denied. without
a constitutional amendment a nation
al income tax is not to be looked for,
unless the supreme court shall rever-
sc itself, a proceeding of a very rare'
occurrence. The state, it has been held
in number Of cases that have reach
ed the highest federal court, has al
right to impose an equitable Inherit
ance tax.
Must state Inheritance tax laws be
repealed in the event that the nation'sI
legislators shall choose to impose a.
tax on estates? The question Is one
that must be decided by the lawyers
but one thing certain-double taxa
tion in this as in other matters will not
be possible. Either the nation or the
state win take the revenue from es-
tates. Double taxation will not be per-
mitted or countenanced by any court
in the land.

1t is because of this sincere desire to be Of help

Schwarz could not afford to put on large force
OF men, His foreman, Fred Slather. Is German
stone mason. The wages of the men are the one
debt which Mr.. Schwarz does not intend to neg
lect and his men are paid every Saturday as IL
they were working for wealthy contractor who
had thousands to back his operations. To do this
the builder has had to rely upon the kindness of
his other creditors, who have helped the cause
by not pressing their claims.
That 900 that has already been put into the
work was gathered mostly from the contributions
of friends all over the country. Other pastors
have taken up benefit collections. a friend in In
diana sent 5000, and the congregation has con-.
tributed far beyond what might be expected from
their means. Mr.. Schwarz made house-tohouse
campaign of four days down in Riley, Kan, and
raised 5000 in that way. One of the church trus-
tees, who declared when the project was begun,
that he would not do anything to aid it, has al
ready given 500, and others have given 500 and
5000 contributions Churches have promised
contributions that will probably average $25 each
and several hundred dollars more is expected
from that source.
III Just had $4,000 more could finish It,"
says the minister, and he seems not to lack faith
that the $4,000 will come as it is needed. +
Mr.. Schwarz's unique undertaking has attract
ed considerable attention and promises Of finan-
ctal assistance have come in from various parts
OF the country. These donations to most wor-
thy cause are for the most part in small amounts
but are none the less appreciated by the ener-
getc pastor and the encouragement thus re-
ceived has had no little part in helping along the
good work. Rev. schwarz has announced that all
outside contributions will be gratefully received
and promptly acknowledged.
The biggest addition to the fund that has
come 80 far was the $500 got from selling the
old parsonage, which the pastor advised as soon
as he saw the possibility Of making a home for
himself as part Of the new building It is be-
lteved that enough more can easily be raised to
put on 9 roof 30 that services can be held in the
