to any person or persons, or to any
body polite or corporate, in trust or
otherwise, or by reason whereof any
person or body polite or corpora e
shall become benefcially entitled IL
possession or expectancy, to any pro-
perty, or to the income thereof, shall

provided for, to be paid to the treas
urer of the proper county, as herein =
after directed for the benefit of the
general fund of this state, to be used
for all the purposes for which said
fund is available"
The primal rate for such inheritance
tax is placed by law at 1 per cent up
to $4,000 and three times the primal
rate upon property in excess of $500,
600. Figuring the value Of the Heron
les mine alone at $6,00O,000 and the
interests transferred at nearly one :
third, 1t will be seen that the state
SHOulu DeHeIll 10 the extent Oh many
thousands from the interests Of
the deceased alone, when the
proper officials wake up sufficient
ly to do their manifest duty. The in
terests in the Tamarack and Custer,
Bryan and other properties would
swell the total very materially. and
provide nice snug little sum for the
state treasury.
The law also provides that such tax
shall Immediately become payable up
on the death Of the person rendering
within the first year no interest Is
charged after that the same rate OF
interest prevails as applies to delin
quent taxes Of other kinds, presumably
about IS per cent per annum. Provi-
sion is made for proper appraisal and
Section 1891 provides that the treas
urer of the county shall notify the
county attorney in any case where he
due and unpaid under this chapter ol
the code. It is also provided that any
officer who fails to do his duty in this
connection shall forfeit the sum o.
$1,000 to the state Of Idaho.
The records of the county fail to dis.
close payment of any portion of tn,
tax due since 1910 upon the valuabl,
interests conveyed.
would like to add that the recen
suit Of Mrs. Laughlin versus tn,
Federal Mining and Smelling compan'
and the United Stores company COS
, the taxpayers of Shoshone count,
just the sum of 81. The judge am
, court stenographer receive an anrua
salary, therefore there Is no extra ex
pense except for the court baiiff, A
"a per day that amount would be 81
for three days service. | had alread
paid the regular fling fee of $40 fo
the suit, consequently the county's ac
tual expense is So, and no more.
Though the evidence showed tha
the Federal company had no interes
in the boarding house and store bust
: ness, President and Manager Day
. whose salary and expense accoun
J from the company Is $4,000 a yea
spent two and q half days of his tim
in constant attendance at the trial, i
? addition to the half day in which h
r ,gave his evidence.
: In presenting these few facts to tn
public. | shall not discuss the charge
: made as to my revengeful and selfis
/, motives. believing that my recor
Il speaks for itself.
