New York May Tax
Only Limited Part
OF Frick Estate
Realty andPersonalP Property
Here All That Is Liable
if Pittsburgh Is Found to
Have Been Legal Home

Until State Comptroller Eugene M.
Travis knows to q certainty the legal
residence Of the late Henry C. Frick
he will not be in position to estimate
even approximately what the state may
expect to recover in transfer taxes
from the estate.
The assumption in the Comptroller's
Office is that the executors of the
estate will attempt to prove that Mr..
Frick was a legal resident of Pitts
burgh, where his will will be probated.
If that was Mr.. Frick's legal residence
then the taxing authorities in this
state will have jurisdiction over only
the real estate and tangible personal
property in this state. Comptroller r
Travis's Office yesterday gave the fol-
lowing memorandum with reference to
the taxable status of the estate:
"The Comptroller's Office as yet has
not sufficient facts to determine
whether Henry C. Frick was a resident
of New York or of Pennsylvania. If
he was resident of Pennsylvania, real
estate and tangible personal property
Iocateu Wltnln Cne state or New YORK,
and. as the result of legislation Sc
cured by the Comptroller this year,
stocks of New York corporations and a
limited class Of bonds. representing an
interest in real estate in New York
would be taxable. subject, however, to
the provisions of the transfer tax law
exemptng the taxation of gifts for
charitable purposes. Ordinarily a gift
to an institution for charitable, educa-
tional or religious purposes is not tax
able.
at is possible, however, that the real
estate in New York may come within
Section II of the decedent estate law,
forbidding any person having wife,
child or parent to give to any benevo-
lent. charitable, literary, scientific, re-
ligious or missionary societies or cor
porations more than one-half of his
estate. 1t has been held by the Court
of Appeals that this provision applies
to real estate owned by nonresident,
and that If nonresident gives more
than one-half of his personal property
to charitable institutions none of the
real estate in New York can 20 to
charitable institutions, but passes to
the heirs of the decedent as if the
decedent had died intestate"

PRICE OPTED
 BOOSTS TIE MILK
TERRY DAIRY COMPANY FIX PLAINS WHY IT IS NEcES- sARY TO INCREASE ITS
 PRICES.

The Terry Dairy Company has found it necessary to increase it's Irices. This has been unavoidable. The Company, one of the largest and most progressive in the state, says in explanation of it's new scale, that the price of feed m some instances las increased as much as 50 per cent and that it must charge higher prices. in order to pay the dairymen higher prices and thus encourage them to keep in the dairy business.
 The price of Terry Dairy milk will be 20 cents a, quart and Il cents a pint. Cream is announced at 65 cents a quart 35 cents a pint and 20 cents a half pine The price of buttermilk will be 10 cents quart and 35 cents a gallon, while the price of Bulgar- ian buttermilk will be 20 cents a quart. Whipping cream will be sold at so cents a quart, 50 cents a pint and 25 cents per half pint.
 In October, 1918, the company says, dairymen were buying per cent cot tonseed meal for $60 a ton. This meal ow costs $9O ton. Wheat shorts, t6e dairy says, have advanced from S2.05 per 100 pounds to s3.35 per 100 pounds. One year ago wheat bran cost dairymen $19o for 100 pounds. Now this amount costs $240. Cow chow, mixed dairy feed, has ad- vanced from $60 ion to $50, accord ing to the dairy.
 Many dairymen are going out of business, and for this reason a milk shortage is feared, and it is absolute ly necessary to make the increase.

CAME PlKE ANo SOCIALISM.

CAMP PIKE AND SOCIALISM.
 1 crossed over the river to Camp Pike last week and called at the com misary department. division of salv- age. I thought maybe could pick up something of value cheap I found The gentlemen in charge very agree, able and nice; but when they have anything to sell it is classified and advertised, and sold 10 the highest tidders. That knocks out us country people out of many bargains, but if the government was to detail soldiers 10 wait on the people and sell at re, tail to the public, that would knock cut some of the stores in Little Rock, which would throw the clerks out nf positions and the pulaskian would lose it's advertising, for the govern iaent dees not do any advertising to soeak of, and then ! would be with cut a job Under eucn conditions the Fulaskian would have to have about S25 for an annual subscription There is a great sentiment in the country for inc government to take over and run everything; but from my oDser~ yation of the government running things. the very folks who are now so anxious for government control would be the first to howl, for Social ism does not mean less government, but more. Nearly every man in the country has made a howl about the way officials have taken advantage of their positions to show their super iority. Under Socialism, the mer- chant, the blacksmith, the miller, the ginner, and every other man except the farmer and . few day laborers, would be officials and would be talk ing on to themselves a superiority to Inc mass of people robably ten times worse than under present conditions. All we needed was the new constitu- tion which people who did not want the people to rule. voted down. With that constitution we conld vote in the recall the first thing, and any upstaTt CT an official could be voted out of office at once Nine tenths of the peo- pie want an old age pension The fear Of poverty during old age is the cause of as much evil as anything. Thou. sands of men cheat and swindle and iise miserabiy just i.ecause they want te lay up a. suffieieney for old age. If tho people had vntc they would in itiate that law at once.
