roughly estimated that the inherit
tax on the estate of the late
Henry Miller would amount to be-
between $4,000 and 100000 to the

felt that disorders or rioting might
occur in the event wal is declared

while | have not been definitely
informed on the subject" said the
governor today, cit is reasonable to
suppose that the Nevada CONSOLE
dated has a contract to furnish
munitions supplies to the govern

substantiated by the announcement
that all copper companies in the
United States have agreed to turn
over a portion of their output to
the government in case necessity
arises. We do not anticipate any
serious trouble but it can readily
be seer hat an organized movement
