money which would be collected by means of this tax were out of the way. This did not mean that our state tax experts were convinced that the result would show an overestimate. For it was quite as likely that when the payments were made on account Of the tax it would be discovered that the estimates were under, rather than in, excess of the amounts which the income tax would yield. These tax authorities spoke from experience, not with an fn- come tax, but with the operation of the direct tax imposed by the state upon the estates of deceased persons. It was with comparative ease that an inventory or appraisal of the gross value of nn estate could be obtained, but when 1t came to deductions which the law per mitted then there was often found a wide discrepancy between the gross values of these estates and the value upon which the imposition of the tax was to be made.
 Sometimes two or three years were required for making final appraisals of this kind Administrators and executors sometimes found that debts or other obligations greatly reduced the gross or apparent value of an estate. and it was often difficult to learn exactly what these deductions should be. Some of those who accumulated very large fortunes confessed that it was impossi- ble for them to say at any particular time what the net amount of their property was.
 Three or four weeks before the death of the late MT. Hartman, a New York financier who had been for some 20 years in very close personal and busi- ness relations with him spent an after noon with MT. Hartman at his coun- try place at Tuxedo. In the course of the conversation MT Hartman said that he had been trying to make 8 computation of the gross amount of his estate and also of it's probable net value He confessed that he had been unable to do that excepting in the most general terms. He estimated that his

Gum had extensive business interests MT. Gum says that he and his family and a number of other Amer jeans were taken away from Mexico by the American government on a battle- ship and landed at an American port.

LIMESTONE INVESTS
 IN ROAD MACHINES
County Buys Two Powerful Machines to Further Road
 Improvements

Athens. June ls.-(Speelal) )--Limestone county, through her commissioners, has just invested $50o0o in two powerful road machines. one a 10 horse power kerosene driven engine that draws large blow and also a road grader. and the other a l6 ton road roller. driven by a powerful gasoline engine.
 The commissioners are now having these machines demonstrate what they will do In the way of road building by working them the Buck Island pike, one of the worst roads in the county. This pike was built some years ago and has had more traffic over 1t than all the other roads combined, and it is in bad condition, very rough. It was built of limestone and the rock was never properly crushed. This machine is tearing up the road and regarding it and the roller Is rolling it into as smooth a surface as a sidewalk. The people who have seen the work done by this machine are delighted with the outlook for better roads.
 Limestone is alive on the question of good roads and are advertising now for bids for 10 miles of pike. It Is the pur- pose of the county commissioners to keep these machines busy every day possible for them to run on the roads of the county.

SUPREME COURT DECIDES.
That Interstate Commerce Commerce
Commission Has Jurisdiction 60
Fix Rates on Commodities.

The supreme court Monday reversed
the commerce court and upheld the
intermountain rate order of the In
torsfate commerce commission.
Justice White first decided that
the long and short haul clause was
constitutional.
Il c. Stoddard. former attorney
general. who aided Judge Bartine of
the Nevada Railroad Commission in
presenting the intermountain rate
case, and c. Z. Stevenson. secretary
OF the Reno Commercial Club. who
has kept in close touch with il. said
that after carefully reading the
Washington dispatches. that the su-
preme courts decision undoubtedly
means a complete victory to Reno.
saving Nevada shippers 100000 an
nually in freight charges
Their understanding is that the
baekhaul charge OF s1.29 from San
Francisco. is eliminated, leaving, un-
der the zone rates. baekhaul charges
OF 25 per cent. or rs cents a hum
dred pounds from New York, Is per
cent from Chicago and per cent
from Missouri River points. The
backhaul charge is local charge
from san Francisco to Reno which is
added in addition to a through rate
from the east on the ground that the
terminal rate to the coast point must
be lower on account OF water eompe-
tition. The supreme courts deei-
sion is taken as permitting the inter-
state commerce commission TO still
further reduce the baekhanl charges.
