DodEinE Inheritance Tax.

Joint tenancy deeds, long considered
obsolete, are gaining In popularity as
a means of evading Minnesota inheri-
lance tax laws, according to H. c..
Hanke, county treasurer Of Hennepin
county, who plans to obtain In the next
Legislature a remedial act.
p Property is conveyed to two persons
under a Joint tenancy deed. Mr.. Hanke
explained, and upon the death of one
the Sitle goes to the other after proof
of death. Probate proceedings are un-
necessary and all other expense, includ-
ing the inheritance tax, are avoided.
The treasurer will suggest to legisla-
tors that provision for the inheritance
tax levy when the proof of death is
filed be made.

Chicago, Dec. S.-Wheat: Winter
weather and low temperatures over the
entire wheat belt (winter) will cause
apprehension and higher prices on the
opening. We make the prediction that
the cold experienced is not sever
enough to hurt the plant permanently.
Corn: A change to int weather
with more in prospect will stimulate
cas demand. Receipts also should in
crease slightly but we believe will
prove disappointing. We favor pur-
chascs on all declines.
Oats will follow corn.
