on lnher1CanCeS, OeVlSeS, DeQueSlS,
legacies. and gifts of every kind. It
is in fact tax on the right to receive
property, or any interest therein, or
income therefrom in trust or. other
wise.
Liberal exemptions from the tax are
allowed to husband or wife or children
of the decedent, the amount under the
present law being $4,000. Parents
receive an exemption of $4,000, and
brothers and sisters, $1,000. Certain
smaller exemptions are allowed more
distant relatives.
The rate is imposed on the amount
in excess of the exemption and is a
graduated one, increasing as the
amount or value of the bequest in
creases. For instance, in the case of
a wife or child, if the value of the
property exceeds ten thousand but
does not exceed fifteen thousand dol
lars, a tax of one per cent would be
imposed on the amount in excess of
the exemption. Upon all in excess OF
fifteen thousand and under thirty,
thousand the rate is one and one-half
per cent, from thirty to fifty thousand
dollars TWO per CeAI, Ou oulHS OVCA
fifty thousand dollars two and one
half per cent, and on all sums over
one hundred thousand dollars the
rate is three per cent.
In the case of husband, or parents
of the decedent, the rate starts at
one and one-half per cent and increas-
es to four and one-half per cent; for
brothers and sisters and certain rela-
.tives the rate begins at three per cent
and increases to nine per cent, for
certain other relatives it begins at
four per cent and increases to twelve
,er cent, and for strangers it ranges
from five to fifteen per cent.
In the earlier years of the tax on
inheritances the entire revenue re-
ceived from this source was retained
by the state. Under an amendment
.dopted in 1911 the county in which
he decedent resided now receives ten
>er cent Of the tax.
The revenue received from this
source for the fiscal year ending July
81, 1912 amounted to $67S,513. The
total receipts, since the enactment. OF
the law TO date sexcee1s $3.50. 900. 3

of the world in the utilization for gar
dening purposes Of Its vacant lands.
The largest garden In the city. says
the Kansas City star. is at Quindaro
Boulevard and Twenty-seventh street
1t contains thirty-three acres. all under
cultivation. II Is said to be the largest
farm within any city of 100000 popula-
ton in this country. 1t Is owned by
Mrs. Rosamond Scruggs and the land Is
valued by her at $66,O00. on this land
Is every variety Of truck usually grown
in gardens.
Along the right Of ways of the differ
erent railways in Kansas City, Kan. 500
acres Of land Is under cultivation. No
rent is paid for this land, Some one

plants a garden and the railway COM

At Seventh street and near New Jer-
sey avenue Is sunken tract that has
been wet swamp In other years, but
this spring a man drained II and
ploughed It and planted It with potatoes
that are six inches above ground now
and very thrifty.
1t Is estimated that in the Croatian
district alone there are 200 gardens In
front and back yards. Those foreigners
learned the art Of gardening In a co,In-
try where every foot Of cultivatable Ia nd
is utilized and they follow out that plan
here, Every square foot OF available
space is planted Many OF these little
gardens are on steep terraces.
Intensive farming is meeting with sue.

of the finest examples Of this being on

The great number Of home gardens
this year will go far to solve the

own gardens. The green grocers have
noticed II and they see n still further
