BY TOMMY CLARK.
To have a losing ball team in New
York is proving a serious loss to the
American league. The largest city In
the circuit should under ordinary con-
ditions produce the greatest revenues,
but New York has never and will never
support loser.
Had the owner of the New York club
been an experienced baseball man he
would probably have had a pennant
winner by this time. He made his
mistake when he 1T out Clark Griffith
four years ago simply because his team
had bad slump. That team properly
bolstered mp would have delivered
sooner or later, but it was inexperience
which blamed the manager for a condi-
ton for which he was not responsible.
Conditions are such now in New York
that the American league ought to get
together and place a stronger team in
Gotham. The aggregation which rep
resents 1t at the present time is hardly
strong enough to hold it's own in
class G league and is disgrace to ma
jor league baseball.
Not little of the credit of the pres
ent good showing of the Pittsburgh
Pirates Is being given to Hans Wag-
ner, who as captain has shown rare
Judgment in handling the team on the
field. Since the Pirates have been win
ming there is less of a demand for
Manager Pred Clarke to re-enter the
game, and it is dawning on the fans
that with Wagner at the helm the club
is well directed.
Most of the Pittsburgh fans have
their eyes on first base. Right there
they will win or lose the pennant, as
they see the race. They are satisfied

have a lot of respect for National

team in particular.
The Giants batted Dixie Walker fer
two runs in the fourth inning, due
largely to the twirler's own wildness
and the Senators batted Crandall hard
in the fifth inning adding a couple OF
tallies and putting them in the lead.
Bob Groom relieved. Walker in the

ATTORNEY GENERAL ON
INHERITANCE TAX Law
Judge John H. Light Gives Inn
por;ant Opinion to Tax
Commissioner

Attorney General John H. Light
has given an important opinion on the
inheritance tax law passed by the
last General Assembly. to the effect
that every devise, bequest or inner.
itance, exceeding $500 in amount OIL
appraisal value. passing to other
kindred or strangers to the blood, or
TO a corporation, voluntary associa-
ton. or society, shall be subject to
the succession tax on the whole
mount. The opinion IS as follows:
Dear Sir: I have your favor in
which you say:
"Cha pter 204 Of the Public Acts of
1911, An Act amending an Act con.
corning the Taxation of Inheritances
md SUGGESTIONS beginning in line

said amount, every devise bequest. or

empt from the payment OF any sue
cession tax
will you kindly at your early
convenience. give me your opinion as
to whether such requests of $500. or
less in value. are exempted from the
imposition of the inheritance tax, and
all such requests in excess of $500
are subject for the full amount, or
whether every beQuest in excess OF
$500 is entitled to the exemption of
$500 dollars. and the TAX is imposed
IN the amount of the beQuest only
which is in excess of the $500"
The language Of the statute from
which Won quote is not free from
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-04-04

ambiguity. 1t may be said with some
show of reason that the Legislature
intended to exempt every bequest. or
inheritance, passing to collateral
Findred Or strangers to the blood to
the amount, Of $500; but careful an
clusion that such exemption is i'm.
tied to every bequest or Inheritance
of $500 or less in amount.
The whole provision of the law un-
der considera ton is contained in one
sentence. First we have the exemp-
ton relating TO estates passing to
lineal descendants. This language is
unmistakable. 1t reads: THE estate
of every deceased persons, to the
amount Of s1o,Oo0.'' etc.
Now. if the Legislature had intend.
ed to exempt every becuest, or inner.
itance, passing to- collateral legatee
or stranger to the blood. to the
amount of $500. it would have said
so. in the same form Of expression
used in exempting estates passing to
lineal descendants. But the language
actually used is that every devise.
Request, OR Inheritance not exceeding
$500 in amount or appraised value,
passing to other kindred or strang
ers to the blood . shall be ex-
enpt from the payment Of any sue
cession tax" 1t is clear that the
Legisla ture intended to exempt in
the class named all requests. or in
heritences, of $500 and under. and
to impose the tax on all requests and
inherita nee ranging above $500.
If you take the view that every one
Of such beuuesrs Or inheritances, not
exceeding $500 in amount is exempt
ed. by what rule shall the amount ot
the exemption be determined? It
would he unreasonable to claim that
the Legisla ture intended that the
maximum sum in each case should
be exempted.
''Not exceeding $500 in amount" IL
not equiva lent for $500 in amount !"
The former phrase was used to clas-
sify and limit the requests ETC.. en-
titled to the exemption. Therefore. /
