MRS, HARRlMas,s MILLION DOLLAR TAX

II is announced from New York that
Mrs. Hartman. who inherits the great
estate of the late emperor of finance,
will have 10 pay into the Golfers of the
state Of New York 81 600, 900 as inheri-
lance tax on an estimated fortune Of
s1o0,ooo00O devised to her by her hus-
band 1t is stated on creditable au-
thorityl that Mr. Harriman's estate is
extremely likely TO reach that marvel
Gus sum, and if SO, the state will profit
to the extent of million dollars.
II seems great tax, but Harriman's
opportunity was great, and that OPP
portunity was given by the people un-
der the laws, and his property was
created by others as we'll as by his own
wonderful energy and capacity. 1t is
not an excessive amount to take away
from 100000 600. Its collection con-
fers no hardship on any. The widow
will not need to take in washing with
residue of SO millions The IMPOSE
ton Of the tax did not in the slightest
way limit Mr.. Harriman's activities.
Where could that million go better ?
What use has Mrs. Hartman for it ?
# Hartman had had as many children
as Brigham Young, the million dollar
tax might have been taken without
disturbing any Of them, except as they
i loved money for mere possession.
Harribman's estate, converted into
cash, would buy one million acres of
500 an acre Iowa land, or 10000 farms
( Of 100 acres each. Ii would furnish
homes paid for and free from debt. to
10000 people. What the state has
done is to set aside one acre out OF
every 100. one farm out of every 10C
farms, for the benefit of the whole
/ people, who made Harriman's prosper
ity possible.
Nobody is hurt. Nobody is pinched
The tax comes from those who can
best afford TO pay it. 1t quells no ac-
tivities, hurts no business, is a benefi,
to all, evetn those from whom it is
! taken

The morning after Halsey's return
was Tuesday. Arnold Armstrong had
been found dead at the foot Of the cir
cular staircase at three o'clock on
Sunday morning. The funeral services
were to be held on Tuesday, and the
interment Of the body was to be de-
ferred until the Armstrong; arrived
from California. No one, / think, was
very sorry that Arnold Armstrong was
dead, but the manner Of his death
aroused some sympathy and an enor-
nous amount Of curiosity. Mrs. Ogden
Fitzhugh, cousin, took charge Of the
arrangements, and everything. I be
lieve, was as quiet as possible. l gave
Thomas johnson and Mrs. Watson
permission to go into town to pay
their last respects to the dead man,
but for some reason they did not care
to go.

Mr.. Jameson, but he said nothing OF
