Of the other And so It has been held
by the supreme court of Washington
in an exceedingly well reasoned case,
which Is directly in point, on the same
Identical treaty. (109 Pac. 343, 80 L u
A. IN. 81 632.) All treaties made pur-
suant to the constitution OF the United
States BECOME the supreme law Of the
bound thereby. While it seems clear
that the claim made under the treaty
is conclusive, 1t seems equally clear
remedy against such an unjust trans
fer tax.
In this case the majority decision Ia
based on the laws of feudalism and not
on the constitution OF our state. The
Tsas9Snins Il based on the Eulss Of law
quest, but the state does not stand in
the place OF William the Conqueror.

have devised for the purpose OF pro-
tecting our natural rights and II has
no right to rob any person.
The inheritance tax law shows on its
face that it is a thief and robber,s II
imposes a tax of from / to rs per cent
on inheritance, gifts, grants and trans
1fers made in contemplation of death.
The act is void unless .;. its purpose IL to
rate of taxation. And By section 81
of the constitution the subject of every
act must be expressed in its title.
BY section 176 of the original con-
stitution all property must be taxed
by uniform rule according to Its value
in money, and by this. section as
amended, taxes must be uniform upon
the same class of property. While
property may be CLASSIFIED for taxation
the chasing must depend upon the
character of the property ana not on
the character OF its owner, the color
person. Unless the act pertains to tax

OF the constitution as amended, be-
poses depends on the relationship Of
parties to one another and not on any
classification of property. II such an
unjust system of taxation and connsca-
under q similar constitution. IL is be-
cause the judges did not know any
better and because they give TO mod
ern constitutions and the natural
rights of men less consideration than
they do to the laws Of feudalism.
According to our bill of rights: Sec
tion l. "All men are by nature free and
independent and have certain inalien-
able rights, among which are those of
enjoyment and defending life and lib
erty; acquiring, possessing and pro-
tecting property and regulations and
pursuing and obtaining safety and
happiness. Section 2. Government is
instituted for the protection security
and benefit of the people"
This means that every man has d
right to acquire property by gift, sale
or puchase and the right to acquire and
protect property is no greater than
the right to, dispose of it by sale or
gift According to the fundamental
principles of this state when by any
Just means a person acquired title to
property 1t belongs to him and his
heirs, and when a man can no longer
use his property IL IL his right and duty
to devise and transfer 1t to his heirs,

the living or the dead.
