Iowa Fast Becoming WidowIess State
on Account of Hateful Tax.

Des Moines. Iowa. July 27.-Iowa is fast
becoming a widowleSs state. Not that
men don't die nor the divorce mill fails
to grind, but because d heavy penalty
devolves upon the Iowa woman who once
has entered the realm of matrimony and
strives afterward to live without it,
Every year scores of widows, charming,
graceful and possibly lovable. pack their
little grips and hasten beyond the two
great rivers that form the eastern and
western extremities of the state
1t is all because of the hateful tax law.
which DEGREES that they must pay a >
per cent. tax on all the moneys and
credits left them by the last will and
testament of the late deceased.
1t is not because they love Iowa less
that they are moving to far distant
states, where there is no such hateful
law. but because they love that snug
little fortune more.
1t has been figured out that at the
present rate of departure of widows
years until iowa has no charming wild
ows, unless. of course, the grim reaper
gets busy with the husbands.
let, WHen one stops 10 llllnk lndC the
widow who is left a small fortune by the
will of her husband is compelled to pay
1 per cent. tax on that fortune. which
Is often just enough to carry her in COM
fort to the end of her days. while rich
men, who know all the tricks and devices
of tax lodging. and who invest their
moneys outside of the state, escape tho
law. there comes feeling to them that
possibly the law is unjust.
The question has a financial side as
well. phase which actually affects in
terest rates. Most of those widows who
are left money to any amount usually
loan it out on good farm mortgages.
When they discover that while they are
loaning the money at small rate of in
terest they must pay > per cent. of it
back in taxes they begin to get wise and
either send the money out of the state
to those states where no law is on the
statute books. Their removal or the in
vestment outside of the state reduces
the loan compe tition,- and the result is
that interest rates advance. because
there is not the money to loan that there
was when this money was kept in the
state and loaned out
An interesting case in point is that of
a Cedar Rapids widow who was left
moneys and credits to the amount of
s1S5, 900. She liked Cedar Rapids and had
hoped to spend her remaining days in
the old home there, enjoying the income
from her little fortune. But she was a
practical woman as well. and when at
the end of the first year she found that
she must pay per cent. tax on her little
fortune she simply pulled up stakes and
went to New York City. never to return
to Iowa to live. The case is but one of
dozens which occur every year.
