THE HARTMAN WEALTH,

The State OF Utah settled with the
Hartman estate so far as the in
heritance tax was concerned, on a basis
which Welded the State three-quarters
Of a million dollars. But it is now con
tended that the value OF the Harrl"
man estate was very much larger than
the amount upon which the settlement
for Utah was made, and we find in the
Brooklyn Times a comment upon the
matter AS follows:
That three states should unite in an
effort TO prove that a man known to
die rich was still more wealthy than was
believed ut his death is an unusual cir
cumstance. But that is what Is going
on in a contest now being made TO show
that the late Edward II. Hartman died
worth about 100000, 900.
After the great railroad mans death
a modest competence of $4,000. 900 was
accorded him by the tax appraisers. But
Utah Illinois and New York through
their state authorities are now trying ia
show that the original estimate was but
little more than half the true amount.
If This can be shown all these states
win collect much larger sum In In
herltance taxes. and the Hartman for=
tune will not be seriously depleted.
If it shall transpire that the Ilarri-
man estate amounted TO S60,000,00C
more than tho valuation Of it upon
which the inheritance tax coming to
the State OF Utah was based then
there will be a corresponding amount
yet to be received from that estate by
the treasury of Utah. And if, as the
Times says, three States are engaged III
the effort TO prove definitely that the
estate was so much larger than first
reported, it is altogether likely that
their efforts will succeed.
