only four Eskimos died last year that is between June I. 1911. and June 1. 1912. in the Nome section. Sincc June only two deaths have occurred for this year so the average promises to be about the same.
 These figures are taken from the official reports and show the Eskimo death rate is anyhow no greater than the death rate amongst the whites here.

Those who are we'll acquainted

they have had in the past have made
arrangements with Seattle house

TAXATION Of IDLE LAND
INCOME AND INHERI-

Strictly speaking .thssesare,s not

Everyone remembers the decision
OF the supreme court which de-
D clared unconstitutional the income
tax law, passed by congress during
the administration OF Grover Cleve-
land. The following amendment to
the constitution was proposed by con-
gress July s. 1909, and was passed
unanimously by the senate and by
the house by a vote of 314 to q:
Article XVI. The congress shall
have power to lay and collect taxes
on incomes from whatever sources
derived. without apportionment
among the states. and without CEN
aus or enumeration"
The adoption Of this resolution by
three-fourths Of the states will make
it operative. Thirty states have al
ready adopted it. Seven have re-
jected it. and eleven are yet to be
heard from.
This amendment would of course
apply only to the collection of in
come taxes for federal purposes, and
would have no bearing on the coll
lection of taxes for state, county city
or school purposes. Thirty-eight
states. Montana being one, are now
collecting inheritance taxes.
At least one, viz: Wisconsin. is

The inheritance tax is also a dou-

industry of portion OF the burden,
and at the same time pairing down
the dangerously large fortunes, q
they pass to the next generation.

Inheritance laws are extremely rad
ical. They first exempt $4,000. ths1
levy tax Of one per cent on the
first 800 above that amount, and
until at the sum OF $1.247. 900 they
take 100 per cent. This Is for close
relatives. For distant relatives OF
strangers they exempt 800. Then
beginning at s per cent and raising
on each hundred until at $4,000
take 100 per cent.
Washington exempts s1O.0O0,then
starting at per cent and steadily

they take 112 per cent on sums over

Idaho begins with 1 per cent on

North Carolina begins with tax o

raises to Is per cent on amoun'l

there are states, collecting inheri-

come taxes. British Columbia col
lects income taxes ON all incomes
over $4,000. England has for
many, years collected portion Of
their revenue from income taxes. New
Zealand collects taxes from all In
comes over $1,000. The total rev.
enues derived from incomes in that
province in 1909 was $17s,000. The
collections from land tax for the
same year was $313.00O. The in
come tax furnished IS per cent Of

Montana can do SO. too. II there is
any stumbling block in our way it
must be in our own constitution and
we can amend that to suit ourselves.
Inheritance taxes, taken as they are,
from property that is free gift to

possibly be devised. A liberal
amount Is exempted. Dependent
relatives are taxed lightly. and in
most states the tax is not oppressive
to any one.
Income taxes takes from the indi-
vidual small percentage ct what
he has in abundance. A liberal
amount Is exempt and the tax is not
heavy or difficult to pay. It is the
experience of countries that have
tried the system that income taxes
are usually paid without complaint.
Relieving industry of part of
their taxes and placing portion Of
the burden on large incomes would
work both ways. It would free la
Dor and start the wheels of industry
whirling at more rapid rate, and
at the same time would collect just

"Paid in FulI' was the attraction
that drew a large and fashionable au-

pleased was Manager Whitmire that
he Immediately booked the attraction
for a return date for Wednesday ma
tinee and night, which he was able to
do owing to an open date in the itin-

deserves all the good things that have
been said about this great play.
The cast is a very strong one, and
each member deserves great credit Tor
the able manner in which the various
parts were portrayed. In fact, if IN
the hands of less capable people, the
play, which is a strong one in itself,
would have failed to please as it did.
The story of the play is well known
to most all theatregoers throughout
the country, having been witnessed by
no less than three million people in
the last two years from Canada to
Frisco-a record never reached by any
similar play in the history of the mod

Talk about the beautiful snow, we
certainly had it in abundance On Sat-
urday night. I don't think that I ever
saw more beautiful snow. 1t re-
minded me of the kind we used to have
before the war. I think about thirteen
years ago in this same month of Feb
ruary there was a big snow, but if
my memory is not at fault the tenn
perature was lower than it was on
Saturday and Sunday and the sncw
was not as dry and, therefore, not rear
so beautiful. 1t was dry snow. But
look out fer the slush in the next day
or two, if the weather man keeps his
promise to give US warmer weather.

do you reckon will become of the

And I see that Mayor Langford
wants me to hold my mouth. Well, l
can tell him truthfully that my mouth
rarely goes off, so there is little dan
ger from it. I see from the Observer
that "the city council are about ready
to give out contract for paving Main
street from the union station to the
Caldwell street crossing with vitrifed
brick. The cost will be between six
and seven thousand dollars" Well,
now if the mayor wants me to hold
nv mouth I wonder how the Observer
got this information, and why should
not the Observer hold its mouth too.
don't think a public servant has any
business keeping any secrets about
public works, but I will hold my
mouth if the work is to be done. II
is only for the looks of the things and
and the good it will do the town that
7 am interested in any of these mat
ters. for personally I have no automo-
bic and no fine horse and buggy to
use on the streets, but I just can't
