INHERITANCE TAX
RECEIPTS INCREASING

THE inheritance tax collections by
this Office for the first five months of
this year, up to June 1, were greater
than for any entire year, with the
exception of last year, in the history
of such tax in Maine" said AS
sistant Attorney General Franklin
Fisher, who has charge. of that
branch of the attorney generals de-
partment He continued: I'VE have
taken in these five months 1884, 80
and the receipts for all of 1919 were
11.S91.S3. l feel confident that the
receipts for the entire year of 1920
will be $450,OO0."
Asked as to the cause for such a
condition, Mr.. Fisher said:
1T is due to a variety of causes,
like most things. But, there has been
no change in the rates of taxation, so
that cannot be it. 1t is partly due
to the fact that we have taxed the
stock owned by residents in our
Maine corporations. To show how
the inheritance tax business has
grown, in 1919 we took sS5, 10000 from
1888 estates, after the law had been
changed in July, 1917. The year 1916,
that before the change, we only got
$2S12.42, from "a estates. l think also
there has been an increase in the
general value of real estate and that
has contributed"
1t may be said here, that no small
part of the increased receipts is due
to the fact that Mr.. Fisher now gives
q =.
to his care and diligence in hunting
out estates that might not be volun-
tarily brought forward to be taxed.
He collected in 1919 the Inheritance
tax on 1880 estates-647 resident and
1873 nonresident.
Mr.. Fisher said, continuing: 1.-THE
number of estates have steadily in
creased and we expect that to con-
tlnue. The rate is / per cent. to d.
rect heirs, per cent to collaterals
and per cent. to strangers. From
1893 to 1899 the tax was imposed only
on the latter two, the direct heirs
being added in 1899. Changes in the
law are probable, for the last Legis-
lature appointed commission to re-
wise the inheritance tax and the
probate laws of Maine, the commits
sion including in it's membership John
+. Deering of Saco; Charles p.
Barnes of Houlton and Eugene
Chaplin of Bridgton. This commits
sion has been at work and important
results are expected.
1t Is surprising how many large
estates there are in Maine. The tax
is imposed on estates of $500 and up-
wards and every year we have one of
more than 100000 in value. In
1919 eight estates paid Maine $751;
1853 and in 1919 nine estates paid
S164,S2S.65., The largest inheritance
tax ever paid the estates was about
$4,000. A Bar Harbor estate not
long ago paid about $4,000. We have
on hand now the case of an out of
the State estate which has about
$4,000 worth of property in Maine.
In that connection it may be mem
toned that number of cases have
come up where the party has secured
a permanent residence in Maine and
thus the estate pays Maine instead Of
some other state, on the death of the
owner. We have in the five months.
mentioned of this year handled 2s2
estates-and as said before I conf
IDENTIFY believe that the State of Maine
will in 1920 receive $450,O0O from the
inheritance taxes"

 IN THE STATE OF UTAH

OLYMPIA, Wash, June l2- Ten thousand classroom teachers, school superintcndents and school board members are expected to gather at Salt Lake City, Utah, on July ) to spend six days discussing problems of schools of the nation during the annu- a! meeting of the National Education Association This meeting will bring educators from the four corners of the nation together.
 Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston, Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction and president of the National Education Association, has announced the general theme as "Educational in the Making of a Greater America" Civic Education, Industrial Education, Health Educat- ion and the National Compress of School Boards, Superintendents and Classroom Teachers are the topics for various days of the program.
 "The plan to have school boards, classroom teachers, and Superinten- dents meet together for one day was inspired by the great need of better and broader understanding of the in- herent rights of the children of this country, the homes of the country and the community life of the nation" said Mrs. Preston.
 "The growing unrest of the teach CTS needs earnest consideration. The school boards and Superintendents of our country in conference with our classroom teachers should work out a safe and sane adjustment of public school policies"
 Ms. Preston said a large delegation of teachers from Washington will at tend the convention. On Sunday, July 4 the opening day of the convention, Salt Lake City will give large muSi-
 1l. On Friday, July 9, follow ing the business session, the educators will enjoy gala day. Salt Lake City is to stage a veritable Mardi GraS for the entertainment of the teachers. On Saturday the Salt Lake City Chamber of Commerce will take the educators for a trip to the copper mines.
