Proposed Inheritance Tax.

1t is estimated that the revenue o,
the State will be increased million
dollars annually If the inheritanc,
tax bill introduce by Represantativ,
William Irwin OF Cole county meet.
with the appreciation OF the Forty,
sixth Assembly. The Irwin bill
would repeal the present law, taxing
collateral inheritance and make the
tax applicable to all inheritances
collateral and direct.
The bill provides a sliding scale OF
taxes upon inheritances, as follows
Collateral-Sl0,0O0, 5 per cent; Sl0,-
600 to $4,000, per cent; $4,000 to
500, 200, 7 per cent; SlO0,O0O to $780,
600, per cent; $500, 600 to 81 900, 600,
10 per cent. Direct-Sl0. 600 to &c..
900, 3 per cent; $4,000 to 500, 600, 3
per cent; 100000 to 500, 900, per
cent; 5000, 600 to 81 ,OOO, 600, . per cent
81 ,O0O, 900, and more, 6 per cent.
The proposed law makes this tax
"A first lien upon all estates to be en-
forced by civil action brought by
the prosecuting attorneys OF the
several counties, or the Attorney
General. The measure provides for
the Office Of State Inheritance in
spector, to be appointed by the Gov
ernor, whose duty il will be to see
that the law Is carried out. One at
torney, four deputies, clerk and n
stenographer are provided.
IL is made the duty of the inheri-
lance inspector and his deputies to
visit each county once year and
examine the records of the county
collectors and probate courts In or
der to keep advised with respect to
inheritanccs.
Provision is made for setting aside
annually $780, from revenues thus
derived for the maintenance Of Mis-
souri, University, which, under the
present law, is entitled To the mon
eys derived from the taxing of coli
lateral inheritances.
OF the total amount derived from
the tax, the county collectors and
probate judges are entitled to retain
! per cent, of which four-ffths COOS
to the collector and the balance to
the probate judges. In st. Louis
he collector is empowered to retain
) per cent and the remaining | per
cent goes to the probate Judge.

The registration for the new
charter election in st. Louis, which
took place last Tuesday, was in
the neighborhood of 10000 and
1900 less than the registration
for the November election, all
though the charter election was of
unusual interest enlisting the
most earnest support of its advo-
Gates and the bitter opposition of
its opponents. Yet the Republi.
cans would have us believe that
the November election registration
was not padded and that the most
virginia. purity marked the No.
vember election in that city. Il
surely taxes ones credulity.

Queer and consumer" is Il little

it to mean that it does not favor Il
