MANY LAND TITLES
REST UNDER CLOUD
ADMINISTRATORS FAILED TO RE.
PORT REAL ESTATE VALUE
TO TAX BOARD.

Title to thousands of pieces of real
estate, scattered throughout the state,
rests under a cloud as the result of
the failure of the administrators and
their attorneys to notify the tax COM
mission of the appraisement, as re-
quired by law.
In the past no general check of
estates has been made to see that this
provision had met compliance in all
cases. The former tax commissions
established communication with ad-
ministrators of only those estates
thought likely to be liable to the in
heritance tax, insisting upon ap-
praisements from these, and paid
little attention to the others.
The present commission is making
a careful check of the records Of all
counties, and is discovering thou
sands of cases in which 1t has not re-
ceived the statutory notification. In
such cases the title of any real estate
transferred rests under a cloud, for
the state has a perpetual lien upon
property for the inheritance tax. The
fact that the estate may not have
been large enough to be subject to
the tax does not relieve the admins
traitor of the duty of making the re-
port.
More than 1000 estates admins
tered since 1909, upon which no re-
port had been made, were found in
King county. The records of Clarke,
Thurston, Pacific, Mason and What
com counties, which already have
been examined, have shown smaller
numbers of delinquencies, but enough
to be of Importance. Carelessness of
lawyers has in almost all instances
been the reason for the lack of noti-
fication.
Correspondence is being established
by the tax commission in regard to
all these states. In the majority of
cases it appears that the estates were
non-liable, and the legal establish
ment OF this fact will serve in most
instances to clear the title of the real
estate transferred. A considerable
number of cases has been discovered,
however, in which an inheritance tax
is due the state, and the amounts COL
lected from these estates will far
more than cover the expense of the
investigation.

STATE USES own
DAIRY PRODUCTS
CHEESE ONLY ONE NOT MADE
HERE. SAYS AGRICULTURAL
COMMISSIONER.

The state of Washington itself now
is producing all dairy. products con-
sumed in the state except cheese, ac-
cording to Acting Commissioner of
Agriculture H. T. Graves. For this
reason the total dairy products pro-
duced in the state for the year ended
June 80 will show a great increase
over the previous year, Mr.. Graves
believes.
The commissioner has just begun
the annual survey Of the dairy prod
ucts industry of the state by sending
to all dairymen, milk dealers and but.
ter and cheese manufacturers blanks
on which to make their reports Of the
LIST years business.
The figures on the industry to be
compiled this year will cover a larger
field and go into more detail than
For the first time the retail
prices Of all dairy products will be
ascertained, so that the final report
will show the average for the state
and for various cities and districts
for milk, butter, cream and cheese.
1.-The last survey Of the industry
was for the 20 months ended July l.
1914, in which period 1t was shown
that $2O,625.S00 worth of dairy
products were produced" says Com
missioner Graves. II believe this
rate of production has been vastly
Increased. In my travelling over the
state and investigation of conditions
I find that practically no butter is
now being imported into the state, a
condition which will be shown in the
present survey and which has never
been shown before.
Farmers are going in for diversi-
fed farming-which means they are
keeping cows along with the main
lines on which they specialize. This
ia shutting out Eastern and Southern
dairy products, except cheese.
"Cheese does not bring the proht
other dairy products do. but there Is
opportunity to develop the cheese IN
dustry more in this state. For the ~
months covered by the former survey
Il was shown that only $1O1,154.oo
worth of cheese was made IN the
state. That figure will be shown 10
have greatly increased when the next
survey is complete"
