GETS S350,COO TAX
FOR STATE IN SUIT
ATTORNEY GENERAL MAKES A
SETTLEMENT OUT OF COURT
WITH KENNEDY ESTATE.
81, 100000 MORE MAY COME
States Legal Representative Believes
Closing of Case With Principal
Contender Against Inheritance Tax
Law VIII Hasten Similar Cases.

Madison.-Attorney General Ban
croft has concluded the negotiations
whereby the state secures 1856, 900,
the inheritance tax on $23 900 in
stock of the Northern Pacific railway
now owned by the Kennedy estate of
New York city.
While this is not equal to the
amount claimed by the state, it was
considered the best policy to accept
the compromise as there are grave
doubts whether the state could sue
coed in collecting the full sum under
the law and a long drawn contest was
assured if the full amount were
claimed. The case has now been in
the courts for over two years.
The attorney general and Deputy
Attorney General Russell Jackson re-
Gently returned from the east, where
they investigated this and other sim
liar cases.
Regarding the effect of the states
acceptance of the compromise, Atty.
Gen. Bancroft said:
Il anticipate that the settlement by
this estate and its consequent refusal
to further participate in the combined
organization to fight the Wisconsin
inheritance tax law will have a whole
some effect in furthering the amicable
adjustment of many estates now pend
ing, and if so, those charged with
the duties of enforcing the inherit
ance tax laws of this state will be
enabled to convert into the state
treasury within the next six months
sum approximating $1,000,000."

questions and give advice FREE OF

subject OF building for the readers OF
this paper. On account Of his wide expe-

The most noticeable thing in archi-
lecture and building at the present
time is the popular interest seen on
designing OF houses, especially those
in suburban and country neighbor-
hoods. The American Home" has al
ways been more than a tradition, and
this home we always think of as be-
ing located in the country or in the
outskirts of the old home village At
the present time we are just in the
midst of revival of domestic archi-
lecture, especially in regard to sub
urban building. The dwelling house
that is at once comely and convenient
seems likely to become the typical
house of rural America, and even in
the towns the leayen has begun to
work
1t is apt to be in the country rather
than the town that this worthier type
Of domestic architecture fiourishes.
The town house is apt to be cramped
by the narrowness of it's site, by the
limitations of its outlook, by the build
ing line and by the character of the
neighboring houses. 1t may in itself
be an excellent piece of work, but the
surroundings are not favorable to it.
In the country, conditions favor the
architect, not by making his task an
easy one, but by investing it with in
terest. On narrow rectangular plot,
wedgeG in between existing houses
and gardens ON three sides and a road
way on the fourth, an architect may
indeed exhibit skill in minimizing the
inherent defect of the site, but
1t is not surprising that he should
feel little enthusiasm for such task.
AS a matter of fact, he is seldom call
ed upon to undertake it; still the
owners and builders commonly con-
slider that there is little call for the
special skill of the architect in dealing
with these commonplace city condi-
tions.
In the country, on the other hand,
