With the transfer of the admins
tration of the inheritance tax from
the state tax commissioner to the
Office Of the attorney genral, capt.
ulation of the history of the inheri-
lance is hereby presented from the
reports of the tax commissioners Of
flee showing the scope of the work
and the Importance of the tax as a
source of income. The tax, begin
ming with the legislative enactment
of 1901, was originally collected by
the state treasurer. On June Is,
1907, the administration Of the in
heritance tax law was placed under
the state board of tax commission
ers, which was later changed to a
tax commissioner. The latter has SUI
pervised the collection of the tax
up to April /, 1921, when the adj
ministrative code goes into effect,
placing the administration of the tax
under the supervision of the attor-
ney general.
First Biennum $111,O22.S1.
The report for the first biennium
ending September 80, 1908, shows
a total of Sill, 022.S1, and for the
biennium ending September 80,
1920, total of $520,S99.79. The
average number of paid cases per
month when first taken over by the
tax department were about 20, and
for the month of March, 1921, 215
oct maid n an1 tho n
amount collected for the month of
March, 1921, the last month under
the tax department, is S159,67490,
or more than for the first biennium.
However, collections for this last
month are the largest in the history
of the office, there not only having
been a large number of estates clos
ed, but several large taxes collected
Up to this month the largest single
tax paid the state was in the William
F. Villas estate, Pierce county, which
amounted to $49,539.OS, paid March
q, 1912. In the John Dickinson and
Josephine c. Sherwood estates paid
this month, the combined estates
paid a tax of $77,004.44, though the
tax department is contending for q
further sum as due from these es
tates. The estate of John Dickinson
| Sherwood has paid tax of itself
of $49,45O.92, making the second
largest single tax collected by the
state, and which estate will probably
have the largest tax thus far is the
contention (: the tax commissioner
is upheld. The estates materially in
creasing the collections for March
are:
John Dickinson Sherwood, Spo'
kane county, $49,450.92.
Josephine C. Sherwood, Spokane
county, $27,553.52.
William Duncan, King county

Investigations in laboratory and field

to sail from San Francisco, actually
took passage. Her name was not on
the passenger list, but survivors are
said to have reported they talked to
a Miss Ladd aboard the vessel
The finding of Mrs. Washburn 5
body reduces the number of missing
to nine, unless it be found that Miss
Ladd took passage.
Captain Marden Testifies.
Capt. H. H. Marden, pilot of the
Governor, who said he mistook the
West Hartlands lights for shore
lights, was on the stand when the
inquiry was resumed this morning
before u S. Inspectors Lord and
James.
The West Fartland's cargo of rail-
way ties and lumber, destined for
Bombay, was being transferred today
to the steamer Brookline. The yes
sci is leaking from a damaged bow.
Efforts were being made to locate
the wreck, that it may be charted
and otherwise marked If it is in such
position as to be hazard. There is
little or no likelihood that the vessel
can be salvaged, according to ship
ping men.
Inspectors Lord and James said
this morning they hoped to conclude
their probe by tonight, but that their
report, fixing blame, will not be
ready before the end of the week.

FIRE DESTROYS
BUSINESS SECTION
TOWN OF TIBURON
Heavy Gale Fans Flames Which
Consume Eight Stores and
Five Houses

SAN FRANCISCO, April 4.-Thir-
teen buildings. comprising eight
stores and five houses, were burned
early today by fire which swept
through the business section of the
town of Tiburon, located on the
Marin county side of San Francisco
bay.
For time the fire, famed by a
heavy gale which had been blowing
for SO hours, threatened not only to
wipe out the town of Tiburon, but
also to sweep the Northwestern Pa
cific shops and freight terminal near
the town. The railroad property,
however, was saved.
The fire started shortly after mid
night in Sullivan's pool hall. Just
how it started was not known.
1t spread quickly to adjoining
buildings and soon the skies were
lighted brightly with the glow from
half dozen flame enveloped frame
structures. Help was rushed from
Belvidere, -Sausalito and other near
by places.
By 2:3O a. M, telephone commu-
nication had been cut off through
the burning of wire connections
The city was soon cast in darkness
when electric service was cut.
BY o'clock the fire had reached
crisis and by that time scores OF
volunteer fire fighters, using every
weapon available, were engaged in
the battle, which resulted in the fire
being controlled about $50 a. m
By o'clock the smouldering ruins
were about all there was left of a
blaze which an hour before had been
classed as the most fierce ever seen
on the Marin county side of the bay
Estimates of the fire loss varied
from $4,000 to $25O,000 but it was
generally agreed that the first figure
was more nearly correct.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
COUNTY FARM BUREAU
MAKES APPOINTMENTS
Four New Community Project Lead
ers Take Positions Vacated
Through designations

The executive committee of the
Thurston County Farm bureau held
a meeting on Saturday afternoon IN
the Office of the extension service in
the court house at which c. G. AS
pinwall, president of the bureau, was
chairman. j. A. Donnelly. delegate
from Thurston county to the annual
convention of the Washington Farm
Bureau Federation held in Spokane
the week of March 21-26, delivered
his report which was enthusiastically
received.
Due to the designations OF some of
the community leaders through pres
sure Of other work, the executive
committee confirmed the following
appointments: F. e. Meek, horti-
cultural project leader in the Hays
district, vice A. J. Haycox: A. ].
Johnson, marketing project leader in
the Little Rock district: Mrs. Joseph
Wickie, nutrition project leader in
the Hays district. vice Mrs. E. l..
Hopkins; Mrs. Bagley, home man
agement leader in the Lacey district,
vice Mrs. Hugh Hamilton.
A. j. johnson presented the prop
osition that 1t was possible for the
farmers to buy automobile tires on
the same basis as they now buy pow
der, that is that the farmers pool
their needs and secure bids on a
large order. The executive COM
mittee decided to present this propo-
sition through the Farm Bureau
News and make survey in this way
to find out how many would like to
buy their tires in this way. Some
thought that a considerable saving
could be made in this way.
