Rich relatives will continue to die

NOT PAID BY STATE:
Expenses In Civil Cases Not
Allowed, Says England.

Charleston June 10.-The court
reporters can no longer be paid
any part OF their expenses out Of
the state treasury for reporting
felony cases, and that senate sub
stitute for house bill No. 257 pas
sed by the legislature ON April q,
to take effect from pasea age, repeats
that part of chapter lab of the
code relating to compensation OF
court reporters as well as all spe-
cial acts heretofore passed relat-
ING to the subject, is the constrae-
ton placed upon the new law by
Attorney General +, T. England in
an opinion given jim answer to a re-
i quest from John c. Bond, state au-
ditor.
The law relating to the pay OF
court reporters has been somewhat
in dispute for several years and at
almost every session of the legisla-
ture special acts were passed for
the relief OF certain judicial circuits
At the recent session Of the leg
islature, senate substitute for house
bin No. 257 was passed and is said
to have had the approval of the
state shorthand reporters assoCia-
ton. The bill WIS intended to cover
the defects of the old law, to rro-
vide for placing the reporters on a
straight salary if the judge thought
proper, and ito repeal the general
law as laid down in chapter lab
of the code and the special acts re-
latinc to this matter.

HURRAH ONCE MORE FOR
UNCLE HENRY FORD!

(From the Wheeling TeIegraph)
Uncle Henry Ford is a fine old
brick.
He makes announcement this
week that the price of Ford auto
mobiles have been reduced to fig
ure closely approaching pre-war
prices.
At the new quotation the Ford
roadster will sell for $370.00-think
OF it.
This reduction will probably keep
the Ford factory running full and
supply the people with automobiles
which seemingly have become one
Of the necessary adjuncts of life
at old time live and let live prices.
Another important feature is that
the reduction in the price of Ford
ears is made without lowering
wages-how's that,
Uncle Henry's policy certainly is
the right one-if adopted by other
business men, it would not be long
until commerce is again moving
along merrily.
SO once more, hurrah for Uncle
Henry Hip, hip, hooray.

Should the proposed law be pas
sed by congress. the beneficiary Of
an exceptionally large bequest
would find himself actually in debt
for the pleasure Of receiving it, for
the tax would be larger than the
bequest.
Certainly it IS not the province of
government to conflscate property,
and congress may be inclined to let
the inheritance tax remain as it
now is, particularly If such a situa-
ton is here mentioned should be
called to its attention.
