ELKINS ESTATE.
Still Owes Inheritance Tax
and Forfeiture TO State of
West Virginia.
tastelA. 70 n.y. rrlraaAs,

CHARLESTON, Oct. 6-Although
the inheritance taxes, $500, JOLLY,
collected during the fiscal year end
ing September 80 was not as great
as had been expected by the state tax
commissioner, there were no very
large sums collected. The Elkins es-
tate taxes did not come in during the
last fiscal year as had been expected
earlier in the year. This is the
largest Inheritance tax claim in
sight. The state also has a large
forfeiture claim against the same es-
tate, all of which is expected to he
settled during the present fiscal year.
With the exception of six cents on
the hundred doiIars9 valuation all
forfeiture money goes back to the
counties and districts, but the inner
itance tax collections with the ex-
ception of the expense of collecting
it, go into the state treasury. 1t is
the belief of the tax department
that the Inheritance taxes for the
fiscal year just begun will reach
100000. The state now collects
from non-residents for transfer of
stock held in this state. This is ex-
pected to add considerable to the
states revenue by the end of the
present fiscal year.

HEAVY FEE TO USE CANAL.
Ships Must Pay Thousands of Dol
lars for the Privilege,

When ship of the dimensions of the
ordinary vessel that now carries tourists
to the Canal Zone goes through the
Panama canal the gatekeeper will de-
mand his toll, and the captain will have
to pay over to him about 5000. ship
such as the average transatlantic liners
would have to put up about $4,000 for
going through the canal
And yet it will be a great advantage to
ships to go the canal way rather than to
go around the Horn or through the Straits
of Magellan. 1t costs u ship 10 cents a
net register ton a day to maintain itself
on the high seas, so that for every extra
day a ship of 10000 tons sails the seas
the cost is $1,000. Making 800 knots a
day a ship would require some twenty
five extra days at sea by Magellan over
Panama, and thus ten-thousand-ton
ship would save $4,000 by paying a ten
thousand dollar toll gate fee at Panama.
This is the way Frederic ]. Raskin gets
down to BRASS tacks in telling the readers
of his new book on THE Panama Canal
the hows. the why's and the wherefores
of the canal The Star is the distributor
for this city, because it wants every
subscriber to know all about our great
achievement at Panama. 1t cannot afford
to give the book away, so 1t does the next
best thing-b brings it to it's readers at cost.
