INHERITANCE TAX BRINGS
S72, sO0.13 INTO TREASURY

The inheritance tax receipts by
the state for the fiscal year closing
with June 80 amounted to $72,SO9.-
10, which was paid in by fifty-eight
counties, a statement compiled by
State Auditor w. E. Davis shows.
Non-residents paid the state $491.SO
of that amount.
Fortunes and requests taxable
under the inheritance tax law were
considerably culled out by the last
legislature, which enacted the pres
ent law. The law enacted by the
1911 legislature was repealed in
1918, but some of the revenue now
being paid was due under the first
law.
Forty-seven counties did not re-
port any tax this year, while most
of them had something to turn in
for the last report. Atchison coun'
tvs contribution this year was $685.
s99.4O, which was the largest q
any county, and Clay county paid In
$500, the smallest amount. Dickin-
son county paid in $94S.9S, which
ranked fourteenth in the amounts
paid in by the counties.
