The Inheritance Law

Topeka, July 9.-There has
been all kinds of criticisms Of the
inheritance tax law since it was
placed on the statute books over
three years ago. 1t is probable
that the next legislature will
amend it radically, but in spite
of the criticism it is a revenue
producer for the state. State
Auditor w. Z. Davis has just
compiled a statement showing
the amounts paid in under that
law in each county in the state
during the last fiscal year. The
year ended June 80 and during
that period the total collected
was $265, +04.06-over a quarter
million dollars. Of this amount
nearly 100000 was collected
from estates of persons living
outside of Kansas. That total
is $92,S63.86.
Atchison county paid in more
under the law than any other
county. The tax on the estate
of the late John Seaton ran that
up to $4,000. Sedgwick county
is second and Shawnee county is
third. Wyandotte, usually at
the head of all lists, fell down on
the inheritance tax.
The amount collected in Reno
county last year under the in.
heritance tax law was S1,082. so

A Suggestion

A gentleman just from
Pratt SAYS that while waiting in
that town for the west-bound
evening train he noticed an old
gentleman talking to a group OF
working men-four in number.
Later on the old gentle man ap-
peared at the depot with these
men and bought each ticket 10
Minneola, where 900 acres OF
dead-ripe wheaI awaited the har-
vester.
That old mans wheat will be
cared for. And he did not con-
slider it a wise policy to sit down
aud wait for help to come, but
went after it. Farmers. get TO-
gether, agree on prices, and send
one OF your number after the
help that is 50 badly needed.

Birds and Insects

The birds destroy enormous
quantities of insects. A conserv-
ative estimate of the number
consumed by each individual
bird is 100 day.
The figures for Ma ssachusetts
alone illustrate what birds can
do. A careful estimate gives
five insect-eating birds to the
acre, making a total of at least
IS, 100000 for the state. These
birds consume daily, between
the first of May and the end of
Septem Der, 1850, 100000 insects,
or 21, 900 bushels. The total for
the season is about 100000, 900,
600 insects, or three million bush
els. If this bird population
could be increased one bird to
the acre it would mean the de-
struction of 900, 900 more bushels
of insects during the five months,
