The writer of the article discusses the matter
further in some detail. Inasmuch as the states
differ greatly in the amount of tax imposed, he
selects first one Of the states imposing the lowest
amount of tax, Arizona:
"Mr. Anyone, jr, by the death of Mr.. Anyone,
ST., falls heir to an estate of $l0,000,0O0. Being
direct heir, Mr.. Anyone, jr, gets off with the
maximum of exemption and the minimum rate OF
Of the states, but his direct heirship in no way
lessons the weight upon him of the federal tax
on estates. Arizona would be good state to die
in from the point of view of the man with $l0,-
100000 to bequeath, provided that his millions
fell entirely within the jurisdiction Of the state
and provided also that they were left in toto to
Mr.. Anyone, jr. Under Arizona's inheritance tax
law. in that case the state would take for itself
only $o9,950 OF Mr.. Anyone's estate. With the
federal tax Of $s4l 900 Figured at the present e-
gal rate) added to the state rate Mr.. Anyone's
estate would pay total inheritance and estate taxes
amounting to $940,5000. Under the increased fed
eral rate proposed by Mr. Kitchin's committee
however Mr. Anyones death taxes would mount
up to 81 ,36l ,450 or 1860 per cent of his estate.
Arizona however is not in class by ITSELF
Mr.. Anyones heirs would fare as we'll in Montana
or Georgia or Michigan or Nebraska or Oregon or
Washington which states and the federal govern
ment, under the proposed increase in estate taxes
would charge him only 81 ,36l 900 or so and per-
nit Mr.. Anyone, jr, to take the balance of about
$8738,000. This cost could be even scaled down
in the case of an estate probated in North Caro-
lima and left to an heir within that states jurisdc
ton. North Cardinals rate, plus the proposed in
creased federal tax, would be only $l,336,485, or
.36 per cent.
Assume, however, that Mr.. Anyone, ST., died
in California, which state since Oklahoma remod-
eled the law which practically would have con-
fscated an estate Of this size, represents the ex-
treme in taxation Of inheritances. Under the Cali
fornia law Mr.. Anyone, jr., if he happens to be a
minor, is exempt from taxation on the first $24-
900 Of his inheritance, but from that sum upward
the tax applies progressively with the result that
the states share in his fortune amounts to ST 49,

GRAZING LIMITS FIXED
Protective and Maximum
Limits Fixed for Grazing
on National Forests.

In order to secure fair and equal
privileges for all the stockmen and
ranchers who Craze their cattle and
sheep on the national forests, the Of
flee of grazing of district No. has
prepared u chart fixing protective and
maximum limits for each forest in the
district. The object Of the maximum
limit Is to prevent monopoly of the
grazing districts by the larger stock
men. while the object Of the protective
limit Is to give each permittee fair
share Of the national grazing range.
Tho figures have been set for three
years to give the plan stability and to
ret the stockmen know just how much
stock they may Craze on the national
reserves.
In order to stay within the lrotcc-
tive and maximum, limits the grazing
department may have to make some
reductions in the number Of heads of
stock grazed by some permittces, but
the officials say that they are not con-
templating any reductions during the
season of 1917. Reductions are made
only for two reasons--to prevent dam
age to the range and to provide for
bona. fide applicants. The reduction
limit for the individual permittee is
ten per cent annually.
Due to the expansion Of the sheep
raising business in the eastern part of
the district. the forests in that part of
the country have been filled to the
limit with stock during the grazing
season, and 1t Is expected that numer-
GUS f1ocks of sheep will be sent to the
western Montana forests to Craze dur
ing the coming season. AS there are
over 5000 permittees and about 1885,
900 head of stock grazing on the for
csts Of the district the department is
kept busy keeping track Of them all
and making appointments for them.
but the task is greatly simplfed by
the fixing Of the protective and MAXI
mum limits.

CHANGE IN DISTRICTS
MEETS NO OPPOSITION

y petition asking that a part of
school district No. IL be included in
school district No. l. was granted by
Miss Mabel Lindstadt, county super
intcndent of schools, yesterday morn :
ing. No opposition was made to the
proposed change at the hearing
a former petition was opposed by
the residents of district No. II and
rejected by the superintendent on the
grounds that too much of the land was
included in the change, impcriling the
finances of the district. Much of the
land included in the first petition was
railroad land. The petition as amend
cd asked that the property Of only one
man be subject to the transfer This
met with the approval of both the
residents and the taxpayers. The fact
that the schoolhouse in district No. Is
is nearer to the home Of the family
affected by the change than the school
at Potomac in district No. II is given
as the reason for the transfer.
In Clinton District.
A petition brought by residents of
the Clinton school district, No -,
asking that part of that district be
consolidated with the Turah district,
NO. i5, was filed with the county su-
pcrintcndcnt yesterday morning. Four
sections of land in the northwest cor
ner of No. IL will be transferred if the

petition. The hearing has been set for
