(N. Z. A. Staff Correspondent

Washington, Aug. 22.--In order to
increase war revenue without impos-
ing additional burdens on the little
considered consumer, Representative
Henry T. Rainey, of the ways and
means committee, has offered an
amendment for substantial increase
in inheritance taxes.
Under the present law, the govern
ment imposes small tax on inherit
ances and Rainey would makes this
tax large enough to yield real war
revenue. The federal law of Sept
s. 1916, established scale of rates
from to 10 per cent; on March, 1917,
the rates were raised from ~ to 10
per cent, and again on Oct 3; 1917, q

special war tax raised them to- scale
running from 2 to Is per cent, the 25
per cent applying to fortunes over 10
million dollars.
The federal tax on inheritances does
not begin until the amount of the in
heritance is $4,000, and then the tax
runs very lightly against direct heirs
and operates heavily only against
collateral heirs.
There are now 81 states in which
the state tax on inheritances run as
high as 10 per cent or more on col
lateral inheritances of the most re.
mote degree and on the largest
amount. There are Is states where
the rates reach maximum of Is per
cent or more and tour states where
the maximum rates are rs per cent or
over, namely: Arkansas, 80 per cent;

BOLT STRIKES
SLEDGE LIKE
BLOW ON FOOT
McClusky Citizen in Bismarck
Hospital as Result of Queer
\ Prank
UNDERGOES AMPUTATION

While seated in his brothers home
at McClusky, G. w. Dimick an old
resident of Sheridan county, was
struck by a bolt of lightning during
one of the heavy electrical storms
which visited this section of the state
the fore part of the week. The bolt
hit one of Dimick's feet, smashing the
fore part Of it as though it had been
struck heavy blow with a sledge-
hammer. The injured man was not
shocked or stunned by the bolt, and
although he keeled over in heap
from the force of the blow, he did not
lose consciousness
AS soon as the extent of his injury
was discovered. Mr.. Dimick was
placed in a car and long drive over
slippery, muddy roads to Bismarck
was begun. During the journey the
injured man did not suffe any unus-
ual pain, and upon his arrival here he
was taken to the Bismarck hospital
where the mangled portion of his foot
was amputated the same night. He is
now resting comfortably, and he will
not entirely lose the use of the injured
member.
Df. n. y. RamStad, VINO performed
the amputation, declares the case an
exceptional one in his long experience.
The fact that the bolt should have hit
the mans foot and not affected him
in any other particular is decidedly
unusual The lightning evidently
struck the chimney of the Dimick
home in McClusky and followed it
through to the basement But for the
fact that Mr.. Dimick was swinging
one foot just far enough to enter the
danger zone, he probably would have
escaped unscathed, as did other men,
bers of the family! o~.
G. W. Dimick is 60 years old and has
lived for many years in Sheridan
county, where he has a large number
of friends who will be. glad to learn
that he is recovering very nicely from
his accident

The plans laid by Italy and Spain to
enlarge their respective shares Of
world business after the war are Of
particular interest to American bust
ness men. There Is every indication
that Industrial and commercial con-
ditions in the United States after the
war will be affected to a remarkable
degree by the measures which Italy
is developing to re-establish herself on
a peace basis.
While for many years before the
war Germany and Austria dominated
the foreign trade Of Italy, the latter
country has long been one Of our best
customers. In 1918 Italy imported
, more raw materials and foodstuffs
from America than from Germany and
Austria together, but she procured her
partly finished and finished products
to a large. extent from her Teutonic
neighbors. Italian exports also went
mostly to these countries. Exchanges
with Germany in that year totaled
$1S3,872, 058; with Austria, So, 424, 457 :;
with England, $l61, s99, 44O;s with
France, $98.74O,416. and with America.
$152.O4l.111. The total Of exchanges
with all countries, including these, was

The tremendous boom IN foreign

quickly demonstrated the necessity

The government has done much and
has indicated its purpose to do more
to encourage the development Of the
country's resources by direct subven'
tons by the conclusion of favorable
commercial understandings with other
countries. More than 100000 has
