FRIES ESTATE TO
PAY INHERITANCE
TAX OF $5,610.35

Death Of Mrs. Theresa Fries Of
Rock Island has brought about q
succession to the estate Of Peter
Fries, and, in consequence. an in
heritance tax appraisal under
which a tax Of $5,610.35 was levied.
The appraiser was E. H. Krell.
The report shows q total
Of s66S, 1891. From that is a de-
duction of $7,12S as expenses for
administration and debts, the bal
ance being subject to Inheritance
tax above exemptions of $50, 900 to
each Of five heirs.
The estate owned $31, 900 in Lib,
erty bonds and large holdings in
other bonds. The report shows
$250,499, less exemption taxa
BILE, as the value of the life
estate of Anna Fries Conner,
daughter, the tax being $2,304.99.
Other beneficiaries are Oscar F.
Smith, Amelia Grasselli, Theresa
Clark and Peter Fries Conner,
grandchildren Of Peter and Their
esia Fries. They benefit by equal
shares and pay equal tax, $S26.34
each.
BY the will of Peter Fries, who
died 16 years ago, the widow was
awarded life estate, Anna Fries
Conner to inherit in like manner,
the property to be equally divided
among the grandchildren after her
death. She and the grandchildren
are living. .a

IN the midst OF a dispute with her

port OF a speech by a man in Congress

Whats up, what's up7" inquired
Uncle Ted. from his easy chair, where
he had been reading the evening pa
per while the children were preparing
their contribution to the Current
Events" recitation for the next day
at school.
TITS just this way" explained Jack:
when the teacher asks Tor current
events in school tomorrow, Ruth is
going to tell about the bill that has
been passed by the Senate at Washing
ton making it against the law for rail
road men to strike. She stopped at
Nettie Smiths on the way home from
school today and she heard Netties
father talking about it and he said
that il the House of Representatives
passes the bill too, and the President
signs it, the railroad men will be
bound to some kind OF servitude that
She doesn't remember except that it
would be just like slavery and she
IS going to tell the teacher that, I
think she is wrong"
Involuntary servitude' is probably
what Mr.. Smith said" replied Uncle
Ted "That is the expression used in
the amendment to the Constitution
which abolished slavery after the Civil
War. The constitutional amendment
provides chat Neither slavery nor in
voluntary servitude, except as a pun
ishment for crime whereof the party
shall have been convicted, shall exist
within the United States. or any place
subject to their jurisdiction That is
perfectly plain. II Congress should
pass law and the President should
sign it, establishing any form of invol-
untary servitude, the courts would GER
tainlY declare it null and void and no
man could be held under it.
"But let me tell you a few things
about the anti-strike bill. which Ruth
is to tell the teacher about tomorrow,
and want particularly to tell you
about the Involuntary servitude' part
Of it.
On the first place, this bill applies
only to railroads engaged in Interstate
transportation that is.SCarrying freight
and passengers from one state to an
other Congress has no power to enact
laws affecting railroads doing bus ness
only within the borders of a single
state. and, on the other hand, Congress
is given jurisdiction by the COnstitu
ton over commerce between the states.
Years and years ago, when the rail
roads were short and when every com
munity produced what it needed for
its existence, it wouldn't have made
much difference If a lot OF men got
together and made an agreement which
would result in the trains not running

L. H. writes the Bright Sayings Of
Children" department of the Chicago
Tribune:
Our aunt was extremely fond OF her
shepherd dog and missed him SO much
when he died that she adopted little
puppy The next day Artie went over
to visit her, and when he came home
he announced Aunt Emma was so
lonesome for Shep that she's started

dreds OF miles on trains from rural
districts to the cities and il these trains
! did not run regularly, children would
be without fresh milk and there would
be lots of suffering and death If the
trains were stopped, the food and fuel
on hand in the cities would not last
much more than a week. Hundreds
of thousands Of people who work in
the cities live out in suburban towns,
and il the trains were to stop running
they could not get to their work
THAT shows the absolute necessity
of keeping the trains running regularly
Now as to the Involuntary servitude'
matter-let me remind you that no man
is required to go to work for the rail
roads. He does so voluntarily. He asks
for the job before he gets it, so there
is nothing involuntary in the manner
in which he enters the 'servitude'.
"Now these are two things that
would prevent a man being held in
that employment against his will-one
is the article of the Constitution which
I quoted to you, and the other is
provision in the anti-strike bill which
| will read to you. sent to Washing
ton and got copy of the bill. Here
is what it says; Nothing in this act
shall be taken to deny to any individ-
ual the right to quit his employment
for any reason
isn't that plain enOugh1"
"Well, then. what is the anti-strike
law for2" asked Ruth. ~ thought the
bill said the men mustn't quit
ooh no. it doesn't say anything Of
the kind" responded her uncle "The
bill says that it shall be unlawful for
any man to solicit or induce other men
to quit their employment On interstate
railroads, or for any man to obstruct
or delay the movement Of commence,
or for any man to use force or threats
to prevent other men from engaging
or continuing in railroad employment,
or for any man to injure or destroy
bridges or tracks or other property in
order to delay traffic, or for any two
or more men to enter into an agree
ment or conspiracy with intent to sub
stantially hinder or restrain or prevent
the operation of trains in Interstate
commerce.
"You see, boiled down to few
words, the anti-strike bill says to the
railroad employees, attend to your own
business and let other peoples business
alone. If they don't like their jobs,
they can quit and get better ones,
but they must not interfere with the
enjoyment of the same right by other
people. The railroads are what we
call public service concerns because
the entire public depends upon them
The railroad employees have entered a
sort of public service, and they owe it
to the public not to conspire to leave
the public without any service at all
Out the public owes them some
thing. doesn't it, Uncle Ted'" asked /
Ruth.

bill which Congress passed last Spring |
provides for a sort of court to try |

ees | think most people are of the
opinion that the public has dealt very

is entitled to call for assurance Of fair
treatment in return. The purpose OF
the anti-strike bill is to make sure
that the public will not suffer be-
cause of interruption of train service"
