DISCOVER NEW
FORM Of GRAFT
ADMINISTRATORS IN IOWA WHO
POCKET MONEY THAT is
DUE THE STATE.
ANNEX INHERITANCE TAX
TWO SUCH CASES FOUND BY
STATE OFFICERS.

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 4.-One OF
the cleverest frauds for cheating the
state out of it's collateral inheritance
taxes and at the same time putting
few sheckles into the pockets OF the
administrators of estates of persons
diving in Iowa has been unearthed by
Quincy Willis, deputy state treasurer
and as a result a more rigid enforce
ment of the collateral inheritance law
will follow.
Mr.. Willis recently made a tour OF
the state and found that in many IN
stances administrators were setting
ND estates and getting their dis
charges without ever sending any col
lateral inheritance tax to the state
treasurer, although the estate was IL
able for such a tax.
A careful examination of the papers
of the administration revealed the
fact that they had charged the estate
with the collateral Inheritance tax and
then instead of sending the money to
the state had put it in their pockets.
In one instance an estate was
charged with $91 for collateral inner
itance tax. When the proposition was
examined it was found that the
amount charged. IN another instance an
estate owed Iowa 1868 collateral in
heritance tax The administrators
there were two) had pocketed the
amount charged. In another instance al
estate was charged with 800 collat-
eral inheritance tax, and although the
administrator had settled the estate
and received his discharge the state
never received a penny.
These two instances have led the
authorities to believe that the practice
is not entirely confined to one local
ity and a thorough scouting of the
state will be made 1t Is intimated that
if he administrators refuse to make
good the tax thus collected that prose
cutions will follow In tne two cases
mentioned the administrators paid the
entire sum, together with the interest
which had accrued.
