THE INHERITANCE TAX LAW

The attorney general, at the request
Of the tax commissioner, has furnish
ed an opinion interpreting the success
sion tax law, which was changed by
the General Assembly, in 1911.
There are three classes of estates
under the law. those entitled to an ex-
emption of $4,000, those which must
pay a tax of one per cent. and those
which must pay a tax Of five per
cent.
The first exemption Is granted to
all estates which pass to lineal de-
scendants, wife, or parents. An
adopted child Is treated as a person
of the line. Husbands, wives and
widows of persons of the line may re-
ceive without tax.
But where property passes to col
lateral descendants or to strangers
Of the blood, it must pay five per cent.
The descendants of an adopted
child, the wife or husband, of such a
person are regarded as strangers &c
the blood, and an estate above &c.,
900 SD passing must bear tax Of five
per cent
The tax upon estates in excess OF
The Bridgeport evening farmer. [volume] (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1866-1917, 1912-03-12

$4,000 passing to lineal descendants
is 1 per cent.
The bequeathal of life estate with
remainder to another, where all the
beneiciaries are in the described
class, Is taxed per cent.
The opinion is chiefly interesting
to lawyers, and because 1t directs at
tention to the fact that titles to prop
erty are entirely matters Of law, and
vary with changes in the law.
Especially is the descent of prop
erty governed by statute.
The inheritance tax is now a part
of the revenue laws Of most Of the
states and is regarded as the most
certain, the most just and the least
felt of all taxes.
1t seems not unlikely that a grad
uated inheritance tax will become
more or less generally adopted, with
the graduations based not upon the
degree of relationship, but upon the
size of the estate. Small estates as
in Connecticut, would pay nothing by
way of an inheritance tax, consid-
cradle estates would pay more and
estates classified as Swollen fortunes
a great deal more.

MISSIONS IN CHINA.
waterbury Amcrican.)

How many yen,"s it is, 100, since
Protestant Christian missions were
first established in China? We do
not include Catholic missions for we
believe some of them run back hun
dreds of years. Of late years, these
Protestant missions have been. con-
Quoted on policies to appeal apparently
even to a people with an ienortant ard
superstitious fear of foreisners and
with an inherited hatred of FOREIGNERS.
We mean that the old idea of the
object of mission being principally
to save heather souls from He'll has
been abandoned Or modified. There
has been substituted the idea Of maxi
ing life higher, better, more spiritual
and more comfortable. This new idea
Is embodied in the medical missionary,
who has so largely superseded the old
When the Chinese find that Christian
fty means new ways Of curing disease
and Of ameliorating the suhferings of
fatal disease, the discovery, II would
seem. must put a new thought into
their heads as to the objects Of the
missionary movement But this, in
case of any excitement, does not re-
lieve the Chinese convert of the faint
Of d'sloyalty. Such a convert has re-
pudiated the religion Of his fathers,
has joined those from outside the
country who would destroy the relig-
ion Of his fathers. This comes out
with awful plainness in the horrible
tortures which precede the putting to
death of Chinese Christians by the
nobs aroused to an inf1ammatory up
rising by the transition in government.
How many Americans would adopt a
new religion, even if convinced Of it's
truth, when the penalty to be paid
might possibly be death with fortune?
Yet no one understands this possibility
better than the Chinese convert. Such
an understanding explains to large
extent the comparatively slow progress
of Christian missions in China.

COAL MINES
Especial from United Press.l

Especial from United Press.)
London, March 12.-Under present
conditions. miners are victims of ia
voritism, bribery and persecution be-
cause of their political or religious
opinions, according to Edward Black,
League. Black, declared that, after
five years of investigation, he was
convinced a minimum wage scale was
necessary to protect the workers. In
explaining the codes which resulted
in the strike of almost 100000 men,
he said:
1.-The coaler is paid on a tonnage
rate regulated by the market price of
coal. On February 10th, last the SELL
ing price of coal was 1870 a ton and
the miners wages were fixed on that
basis Who gets the difference be-
tween the 1910 and sS.75 which Lon
don consumers pay?
When the coal is brought to the
surface it is carefully screened. The
miner is paid only for the coal which
does not pass through the screen. The
m .ner has to keep his working place
secure. If there is a shortage of tim
Der, he must stop work. Should the
roof fall, he must wait until the place
is cleared. Som etimes the seam runs
thin and 1t is impossible for him to
get enough clean coal to pay for his
labor. If there is shortage of
trans, for removing the fuel from
the mine face he is again forced to
remain idle. This gives INSCRIPTIONS
employers plenty of opportunities to
vent their spite on individuals and
to escape payment for work done.
Good places to work in are secur-
ed by favoritism and bribery. One
man was driven out of a mine by the
owners because he protested against
being forced to work in an abnormal
place where he was only able to earn
