His One Vote.

An ambitious man rather unwisely
stood as candidate at one Of the local
elections. and at the close of the poll
was found TO have received only one
vote. The candidate was excessively
mortified, and, to increase his chagrin,
his neighbors talked as IL it were
matter Of course that he had given
that one vote himself. This annoyed
him so much that he offered $50 suit
of clothes 10 his only supporter II the
individual would come forward and show
himself.
An Irishman responded to this appeal,
proved his claim. and called for the re-
ward
How did it happen" inquired the
candidate, taken quito by surprise
How did It happen that you voted for

Pat hesitated; but, on being pressed,
he answered:
"If tell you. you won't go back on
the suit OF clothes?"
ooh. no; ! promise you shall have the
suit anyhow

Will Tax NOn-ReSi
dent inheritance

The state officials have signiiied
their intention TO materially re-
duce the tax load upon the cltI-
Gems Of this commonwealth by the
collecting of inheritance and tran
sfer taxes in cases where the prop
erty owner is a nonresident and
where the property is in for
eign corporation doing business
in Idaho.
From the official records
throughout the state it is esti-
mated that an income of at least
one million dollars yearly will
accure to the tax funds from this
source.
1t is pointed out that Utah has
Just completed the collection Of
upward Of Si,5OO,OOO in transfer
and inheritance taxes from two
estates alone-those of +. H..
Hartman and ID. E. Eecles. It is
asserted that Idaho has a large
sum due from the Hartman and
Weyerhauser estates and that il
is now proposed to collect the
amounts under the laws now on
the statute books which are con-
sidered good and sufficient.
The state tax commission,
headed by Axel Il. Ramstead,
will undertake to uncover these
taxes due from these estates and
the commission will also accum-
late the facts needed, and the
attorney generals office headed
by Joseph H. Peterson, will pros
ecute the cases.
