STEDMAN WOULD HAVE PEOPLE
SHARE IN RICHES

To-day from his grave old Mar
shall Field stretches out dead hands
and governs Chicago. His body is
turned to dust out there in the $685.
900 tomb at Graceland cemetery.
The man is ashes. Yet he rules Chi
cago.
Living men read the written or
ders he left behind him and obey his
wishes. While the ideas, theories
and plans or living men change and
are adapted to the needs of the day,
this dead man from Graceland ceme-
terry issues commands by which an
army of living people are guided and
controlled" ~
This is the comment made by Sey-
mour Stedman, attorney-at-law, in
connection with an inheritance tax
bill he is working on. The bill is to
be introduced in the state legislature
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-01-15

cago and backed by them this winter.
The law Stedman wants says this:
ID That the state shall take away
everything from the widow of man
of wealth and leave her only $780,
900 to live on.
(2) That the state shall take
away everything from the son or
daughter of a rich man and leave the
child only 100000 to live on.
90 And if a millionaire has broth
ers and sisters they shall have only
$4,000 apiece to live on when the
rich relative dies. +,
"a dead man is dead" says Sted-
man. HE can't work. He has passed
on. He doesn't produce anything.
Outside of insuring those he loves
against want he should not have
power over the living"
Harrison B. Riley, president Of the
Chicago Title & Trust Co., spoke to
the Chicago Real Estate board yes
terday. He started out:
"I have here a prepared discussion
on the tax question which l will read
to you and when l am through with
that 1 VIII do a little sloshing around
in other matters" He read the pa
per and then in "sloshing around
laid the blame for Illinois tax laws
onto the Initiative and Referendum
league.
The l. and R. crowd has a steering
committee at work in Springfield.
They demand the I. and r. be sub
mitted to voters this fall as a con-
stitutional amendment In this ac-
ton they are stopping the tax re-
formers from getting constitutional
tax amendment before the people,
and they ought to be ''reprobated,"
according to Riley.
Only one amendment to the con-
stitution can go to the people at one
election. The I. and R. advocates say

And not only is it ignominy, but
It is also jeOpardizing our boys. Once
they have been arrested the police
know them. The next arrest follows
easily. It may only be because they
have cOngregated on corner, but
they have been arrested before and
consequently are under suspicion.
We do not take care of this prob
lem of giving them amusement, but
we do take care, year after year, of
providing more restrictive laws of
the little liberty they have enjoyed,
We now have laws enabling police
men to arrest boys for lettering on a
corner; we now have laws enabling
policemen to arrest them if they re-
vert to the primitive instinct of set
ting differences with their fists, and
though we have a law giving the boys
over 1S a right to be in poolrooms,
we have given our police power
greater than that law to arrest them,
despite the law giving them the right
there.
But Where are our boys to go for
their amusement" Judge Dolan's
question is of vital significance,
What is the answer?

Evidently the people of Chicago
have positive ideas on the city's big
gest fake. The answers to the fake
contest are pouring in. Here are

CONVEYED ONLY PLAIN TRUTH
Advertisement Of Boston Physician
Merely Stated Facts Exactly as
They Were.

A Boston physician tells of Doctor
Reed who, in his time, was one of the
prominent medicos of the Hub. His
large practice included many patients
outside the city limits. and these he
visited in his buggy.
One day Doctor Reed bought a new
horse, with which he was much
pleased until he discovered that the
animal had an insurmountable objec-
tion to bridges of all kinds, and could
not be made to cross one.
Inasmuch as at that period 1t was
necessary to cross certain bridges in
order to reach any one of the sur
rounding towns. the doctor decided to
sell the horse. He did not think. 1t
necessary to mention the animals pc
culiarity, but was much too honest to
misrepresent him. and, after some
thought, produced the following ad-
vertisement. which he inserted in
local paper:
"For Sale.-A bay horse, warranted
sound and kind. The only reason for
selling is because the owner is obliged
to leave Boston"

BABY IS ONLY WITNESS
CHILD OF THREE SEES MOTHER
SHOOT MAN DEAD.
Mrs. Sophia Morrone of Brighton De.
clares She Killed Simon G. Mil
Ier In Self-Defen3e.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Brighton, Colo-The three-year-old
son of Mrs. Sophie Morrone was the
only witness to the shooting of Simon
G. Miller, 35 years old, by Mrs. Nor
rome.
Miller, who lives on a farm west of
East Lake, was instantly killed by
Mrs. Morrone when the latter fired at
him through the door of her house.
The baby was the chief witness at
the coroner's inquest of the tragedy
which occurred at the Morrone home
a mile and half north of Globeville.
Both Miller and the woman are
married. Mrs. Morrone was alone at
the time except for her youngest
child. her elder children being away at
school and her husband being away at
work.
According to her story, Miller
stopped and demanded pay for ashes
which he had hauled eight years ago.
She refused and backed into the house.
She asserts that he tried to follow her
in, but that she slammed the door,
grabbed single-barreled shotgun and
Llltu llto hCau thiou6h thC 6iooo
in the door.
Afterward, she went along the road
1 short distance to where Frank and
Joe Cavalero of Denver were working
in field, and they notified the coro-
ner and sheriff's office.
Coroner Jones and Deputy Fergu-
son brought the body and the woman
to Brighton. At the inquest it may
be shown whether Miller was under
the influence of liquor. He had walked
to the Morrone house, a quarter OF a
mile across a nursery, leaving his
horse and buggy in the road In the
buggy was keg of beer which he was
carrying home from Denver.
Neighbors and friends quickly gath
cred at the Center home and vigorous
ly protested when Under Sheriff Fer
guson announced that he was going to
take her to Brighton. They insisted
that she had done perfectly right in
shooting Miller.

NEW VERSION OF THE OLD
SPANISH PRISON SWlNDLE

version of the old Spanish prisoner
swindle This time it is not Span
lard who has hidden a war chest of
the Carlsts in an accessible noun
tain and appeals to some one to ac-
cept half the contents in return for
furnishing him with bail money. In
the new version of the swindle 1t is a
Belgian. The Belgian, on the death
of his master in the siege of Liege,
fled with 10000 pounds in Bank of
England notes He is now in trouble
in Spain, and will part with half of
the notes to any one helping him out

While Col. Suggs was here, he paid
very high compliment to the repre-
sentatives of Choctaw county in the
state legislature, and assured us that
no county in the state was better
represented. He called the names of
Hunter, McAlester, and Warner and
told of the stands they had taken on
different public questions and extolled
the work they have done.
