maintenance Of fertility. The eXemp-
tons are 50 applied as to exempt from
taxation, according to Mr.. Keller's es-
innate. approximately 9S per cent Of
al actual farmers. The bill aims to
TAX holders of natural resources, valu-
able sites in cities, and the holding Of
land out Of use.
The Inheritance tax bill applies a
saX II per cent on estates Of from
10000 to $4,000, , per cent on es-
lates from $4,000 to $4,000, per
cent on estates from $4,000 to $780,

IS reached after which the tax is 90
per cent.
