prices will go higher later on. The
prevailing prices during the month
have been around $50 a ton for 60 per
cent blende and $45 a ton for 40 per

CONFLICTING STATE LAWS.

One of the beauties of our rampant
ly divergent systems of state laws is
demonstrated by the problem of the
Hetty Green inheritance tax. Mrs.
Green left something like q hundred
million dollars. Only the operation of
laws made it possible for the woman
fnancier to accumulate such sum.
Only special safeguards created by So
ciety enabled her to retain it. Only
by a special privilege conferred by So
ciety was she enabled to pass it along
to her heirs. Society has a fundamen-
tai right to claim, as partial compen-
sation, such part of the estate as it
deems fair to take in the form of an
inheritance tax.
Under the laws of Vermont the in
heritance tax on the Green estate would
amount to only $3.50. Under the laws
of the state of New York the tax would
be about four million dollars. Natural
lv big fight has been started to have
the estate declared a Vermont estate
Since the amount involved is so large
as to warrant the employment of every
possible legal device there will be nc
very enthusiastic expectation of New
York S ever getting the four million.
Some state, society at large, ought
to receive a reasonable share of the
Hetty Green estate. But the laws OF
Vermont, which is a sovereign state
quite as much as New York, provide
for no such thing.
There has been a movement on foo
for several years to obtain uniformitj
Of laws in many such matters, but i
hasn't progressed very far. The neces
sity for revision of the statutes of thu
various states in accordance with
fixed and uniform plan is one of thu
things that impresses itself more ant
more forcibly upon the American con
seriousness as the years go by.
