STATE WILL APPEAL
DECISION IN CASE
Collateral Tax Ruling In Nc
keown W. Morrow Case.

w. C. Brown, state treasurer, has
announced that the state will appeal
to the United States supreme court
from the decision OF the Iowa SUI
preme court in the case of Mary Ann
McKeown vs.. w. w. Morrow, former
state treasurer. In this case the
court held that the Iowa collateral in
heritance law conflicts with the
United States treaty with Great Brit
ain-hence residents Of Great Britain
are required to pay but per cent
collateral Inheritance tax. The treas
urer's department maintains that the
foreign heirs are required to pay 20
per cent tax on collateral inheri-
tances.
The treaties with foreign countries
have given the state considerable
difficulty in collateral inheritances.
The supreme court recently held that
the Iowa law does not conflict with
the treaty with Denmark, but in an
other case It says it does conflict
with the treaty with Great Britain.
A case was submitted to the court
recently testing whether the Iowa law
conflicts with the treaty with Swed-
en-. The case is that of the estate of
John Peterson in Plymouth county,
amounting to about $4,000. The heirs
all reside in Sweden and are not di-
rect in line.

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-The case Of
the engineers having been practically
concluded, fremen and hostlers Offer
ed testimony before the federal
arbitration board, hearing the contro-
'versy of western railroads with their
employees. The first hostler witnesses
to testify were two Chicago men who
complained that they receive but 81
to So day for twelve hours labor
from the ground up.'' o. Martin, OF
Los vesgas, N. M, fireman on the
Santa Fee, complained of the action OF
the Santa Fe officials, who, he said,
barred their men from active partict-
patton in politics.
This same complaint was register
ed by the employees against the South
ern Pacific. Grand Chief Stone, OF
the engineers, declared that the South
ern Pacific, which, he said, used to
own the state of California recently
has instituted an embargo against
any of its employees taking part in
politics, running for office or even
aspiring to a governmental position.
He read copies Of letters from South
ern Pacific officials to some of their
men who had indicated their desire
to run for various Offices, the letters
warning the men that If they became
candidates they might expect dis
missal from service. On cross exam
nation Attorney Sheean emphasized
the position taken by the railroads
that it would be poor policy to permit
a man to operate his engine part of
the time and serve on the legislature
or hold some other political office.

TO GET MORE GAS IN FUTURE
Federal Reeeivershlp of Kansas Ma
turaI Company Dissolved by Ap-
pelIate Court In St. Paul.

The federal receivership Of the Kan
sas Natural Gas Company, which was
created in 1912, was dissolved by the
terms OF an order flied in the circuit
court Of appeals at St. Louis by Cir
cult Judges Hook and Smith.
The circuit judges made more defk
mite an order instructing the federal
receivers to deliver to the Kansas re-
ceivers all the property and meneJa
Of the company, except taxes. court
costs and the lawful liabilities OF the
receivership. About $500, 900 in money
will come to the Kansas receivers.
A motion to mandamus the United
States district judge for Kansas to turn
over this property was denied.
The receivershlp was dissolved on
motion Of the Kansas Pipeline CON-
pany, a subsidiary, which claimed that
the dual state and federal receiver
ships had dssipated the property OF
the company.
Willard Breidenthal, receiver for the
Wyandotte Gas Company. said he be.
lleved the decision Of the United
States court of appeals would result
In a good supply of gas for Kansas
City during the latter part OF the win
Ter.
"IIad It come ninety days ago we
would have had plenty OF gas by De-
cember l." he said. The state recsiv-
ers notified us some time ago that. ow'
ing to the delay in the decision, We
need expect only supply In the early
part Of the winter equal to that last
winter. II the weather is not too Sc,
we're the receivers ought to be able to
give us good supply by February on
March"
The receivers are planning TO extend
a flowlre into another gas field. This
they can do with the 100000 as soon
as It Is turned over to them. When
this money will be actually in their
hands they can commence work as the
Montgomery County court has already
given the authority.

second of the series of arguments
ON the measures to be submitted
to vote at the coming election
was issued today by secretary of
state Cornelius Roach. Those
wishing TO vote intelligently on
No. 2 should preserve thisarticle.
The sole purpose in giving these
arguments is to furnish informa-
ton to the voter, and the Secre-
tary of state is in no way re-
sponsible for insertions made on
either sido of any subject dis
cussed.
The champions of amendment
No. 5 give the following reasons
why the measure should be fav-
oredl
The money that comes into the
state road fund, as large as the
State Of Missouri is, is so small,
taking into consideration the
large amount of milage and the
fact that the counties do not as
sess a heavy tax for road pur-
poses, that it is necessary that
some method be devised for the
establishing of fund for the
building OF a good road system
such as a state as large as Mis-
sodri should have to be In line
with other states that are now
establishing fine road systems.
Our people are very progress
sive and more enthusiastic, in
fact, than good judgement will
often permit. The putting up of
personal funds by few people
for the benefit of many is not
lust, Road building should be
done by taking a small amount
from each one of q very large
amount of people, and this is
what will be done if Constitution
al Amendment No. 3 is adopted,
AZ by this method no one escapes
paying his pittance. This small
amount from SO large number
will create a fund that will make
it possible for our state to estab-
lish a fine road system.
Those opposed to the adoption
of Amendment No. 3 set forth
!, the following reasons why this
measure should be voted down
This amendment should be
. voted down because it proposes
to raise the state tax rate from
; 10 cents to 20 cents on the hun.
dred dollar assessed valuation
Y and because the principal O
/ state aid for all local purposes il
