First LAWS OH Subject.
The first inheritance tax law in
West Virginia was passed in 1857.
From that time down to 1900, such
taxes we're collected by the county
clerks Of the state, and during this
period Of seventeen years the total
collections were $55. 1854. In 1904,
the law creating the tax commits
sloner's Office vested that official with
power to collect inheritance taxes.
The year ending September 80, 1905,
there was collected from this source
$1OAs4S6; for the fiscal year 1906.
$2S,o521O; for The fiscal year 1907,
SOS, O1o.76; for the fiscal year 1908,
$s7s66s2; for the fiscal year 1909,
$l15,746.5O; and for the fiscal year
1910, So, GSO7s. These figures show
what itmesns to enforce the law The
collection OF revenue from inheritance
taxes has now become enc of thesub-
stant;al sources Of state revenue; and
If this law is repealed, then the taxes
collected from this source must be col
lcctod from. some other souccs. They
would Gbe shifted to the shoulders Of
the ordinary taxpayers Of the state.
Inheritance taxes are collected from
sources able to pay. The more val
liable the estate, the more taxes col
slcctcd, There IS not single Euro
poan nation that does not have an,
Inheritance tax law.
Forty States Have Them.
Moro than forty states of the Amer
lean nation have inheritance tax taws.
1t is the world over, we'll recognized
canon of taxation. To abolish these
laws would be to take step back
ward. What reason is there for abof-
ishing them? ] believe it was the late
Justice Brewer, of the United States
Supreme Court in speaking Of inher-
itance tax laws, who said:
This method Of raising public rev
enue is wise, simple and effective

Big FLOCK OF POSSUMS
FOUND In Her HOUSE
Americas Man Captures the
Whole Bunch

The fact that there were just thir-
teen 'possums in this coyey may have
been unlucky for the marsupials, but
Mr.. l.. w. Brown, of Americas, holds
a different view regarding the 10 hoo

heard a hullalaballoo in his henhouse
equal to the noise of a. beneficial whist
game and went out to investigate. The
intruder was a fat mamma 'possum
with a dozen fuzzy little grinning dom
inecker possumic babies trailing at her
heels, the whole bunch looking for a
chicken supper He captured the out
fit and now has hourishing 'possum
farm in connection with his local hem
merry.
