pmount Of inheritance taxes paid to the
state and TO the federal government at
S3i6,O4S26.
The share that the three sons, Richard
NJ, Frederick c. and Warren c. Fair
hanks. will receive each from the net

1t was said today at the office OF
Appraiser Rasmussen that the total es-
tate embracing all property as we'll as
that in other etates, approximately will
total S4O00,O00.
The apparent shrinkage OF the estate,
which was estimated at the time of Mr..

the many deductions from the entire

ent requests, bonds and the like.

the state of Indiana is concerned.
The total valuation of the Fairbanks

Soft candies, especially the more ex-

COLUMBUS. Aug. Future relations
between the democratic candidate for
president and the present occupant Of the
whitehouse are the subject Of much spec
ulation these days in the candidates
home state.
The fact that the nominees communi-
cation with the whitehouse has been lin
tied to the one brief conference he had
with the president shortly after the con
vention, as well as the fact that he has
not submitted his forthcoming acceptance
speech for the presidential o. k, is re
garded by political observers generally In
Ohio as of deep significance, and by some
as foreshadowing far-reaching conse-
quenees.
Various motives are ascribed, but the
one preva1ently accepted is that Cox Is
determined there shall be no misunder-
standing as TO the actual leadership OF
the party in this campaign.
Some even go so far as to predict the
practical shelving of wisconsin"
The text of the acceptance speech

settle most Of the current doubts as to

Judging from recent developments,
especially the statements made in Wash

the democratic national committee and
his rather obvious avoidance Of the

some quarters on the Cox-Wilson con
ference that the two were in complete &C

Doubtless no points Of difference de
