Alderman Stanley H. Kunz recently

that if the loan was made prior to

Fees On Estate
>' Are Held Invalid
JUDGE cOFFEY DECIDES NORTH
DAKOTA LAW, IN FORCE 20
YEARS, UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Janest town, N. D. May 23.---the law
of North Dakota which, for the last
twenty years has required the pay
ment of fees from estates, based upon
the valuation of the estate to the var
ious counties, has been held unconsti-
tutional by Judge J. A. Coffey, of this
district. The case came before the
court from LaMoure county, OH an &C.
ton to recover certain fees paid UNI
der protest.
The court holds in its decision that
the law is invalid for being contrary
to that section of the constitution
which provides that all laws Of taxa
ton OF property shall be uniform in
their operation. The court holds that
the payment is, in fact, tax and not
a fee, inasmuch as it IS based on the
value of the property; also, that the
property has been taxed previously in
common with other property for the
same purpose.
The original laws were intended to
provide for payment of salaries Of
county judges, but those salaries are
now, and have been, paid from the
general fund and the fee goes into the
general fund. The property has al
ready been taxed for this purpose.
Together with the first tax, the fee
from estates and the inheritance tax
now in operation, an estate would be
required to pay three different taxes.
The decision does not effect the new
inheritance tax law, as the court
holds that such law is based on the
right of succession, a privilege grant
ed by the state.
The amount of the fee in the case
before the court was $685.. 1t is under
stood that the payment of fees under
protest, until final determination OF
the case is reached, will save the
rights of persons from whom such fee
is required, in case the decision OF the
court should be sustained and the law
held invalid.

Japanese Rely On
Honesty of America
NO VIOLATION.

Washington, May 23.-The basis Of
the state departments contention tina,
the California alien land act does moi
in it's terms violate the treaty Of 1911
was the careful scrutiny of all the
lawyers of the cabinet, on the Ian
guage of the law and the treaty.
Save upon the single point that in
depriving the Japanese in California
of the right of inheritance to real es
tate they conclude there was nc
ground for complaint.
Toxic, May 23.-The reply of the
United States government to the Jap
anese protest regarding the California
alien land law, in saying it does no,
involve any violation of the treaty be-
tween the United States and Japan
caused great disappointment in official
and other circles.
The Japanese foreign Office consid
ers it unsatisfactory as it does not
mention the intention on the part Of
the government at Washington to take
official steps to nullify the act.
The foreign minister is urging upon
Viscount Chinda, the Japanese ambas
sador at Washington, the necessity OF
pressing the Japanese Interpretation
of the Acknowledgements treaty.
San Francisco, May 22:-Sorokl
Ebara and Ayao Hattori, the Japanese
statesmen, who are in California to

the Japanese situation, went to San
Jose today to continue their inquiries
About 1000 Japanese attended z
