ESTATE LAW AS
NOW IN OPERATION

An amendment OF the federal es-
tate tax law was passed on March 8,
1917. BY this amendment, the es-
tate Of every one dying on or after
March 3 is subject to an increased
rate of taxation, II the net value of the
estate is over $4,000.
A booklet, Just issued by the Guar
anty Trust company OF New York, pre-
sents the full text of the law and the
regulations to date. Both are fully
indexed. II gives also a clear explana.
ton Of the operation of the tax, illus.
trated by examples and tables.
Under the law in its amended form,
the rate of tax varies from IL per
cent on net estates OF $4,000 to Is
per cent on net estates Of over $4,000
600, the rate within these limits in
creasing according to the size OF the
estate.
Estates Of persons who died after
September 8. 1916, (the date of the
law in its original form) and before
March 3, 1917. (the date Of the latest
amendmenD are subject to the earlier
rates OF tax
Deductions from the gross estate
allowed under the law, are listed as
Claims against the estate, admins
tration expenses, losses not compen
stated by insurance, funeral expenses
unpaid mortgages. support of depend
ents during the settlement OF the es
tate. and other charges allowed by tn
laws of the Jurisdiction under which
estate is administered.
In addition to these deductions
specific exemption of $4,000 is al
lowed on all estates OF persons VIII,
were residents of the United States.
Deductions from the estates of non
residents are based on the proportion
the value of the estate in the Unite,
States bears to the total of the es
tate, wherever located. For example
A nonresident dies, leaving a tota
estate OF 100000. The value of hi
property in the United States is foun
TO ne 100000, or one-half of all hi
possessions. The total expenses O
the estate amount to $4,000. The es
tate is allowed to deduct that prC
portion Of $4,000, which 100000, tn
value Of the estate in the Unite
States, bears to 100000, the total va
ne Of the estate. In this case, tn
proportion would be one-half Of tn
total expenses, or $4,000. This es
tate would accordingly be taxed o.
100000, the value of the estate in tn
United States, less $4,000, the deduC
lions allowed, or $4,000.
Other important provisions OF tn
amended law are clearly summarized
especially those allowing the pc
cent discount for payment of tax prio
to due-date, and the penalty impose
for non.payment.

The record OF the United States

man registered his vote In favor OF
the war resolution. recently passed al
most unanimously by that body. This
action on the part Of the Nevada SEN

conveyed and under date of March %
reads al follows:

war Is relic of barbarity. There are
certain essentials to life. liberty and
happiness, however. that must first

attention We must at all times be

decay and our people must sink into
a condition OF subjugation and virtual
slavery. We had hoped to protect
these rights through reason and JUS
tice. and we stil hope and believe
that the time will come when such
powers viii be sufficient, but at the
present time the history OF the world
demonstrates that war and force are
attempting to dominate the world, and
at this time. apparently. the only pro-
lection against such domination is
force. When those who rely solely
upon force discover that such force
Is unavailing against the forces Of
democracy, they will then be willing
