The following letter from a Jour
nal correspondent in st. petersburg,
is of especial interest to Dexter peo-

every time" Mrs. Hayes smilingly
added. We lived at the Ansonla,
just across the way for four years
That was torn down to give way TO
another building. Our next four
years we lived at the Plaza and that
has been torn down for the theatre.
We saw the first stone laid for this,
the Pheil hotel, when We came here
nine years ago. But we are hoping
that this will be a permanent home
for US, when we pass our winters
here. -
when we left Dexter. a week ago
last Saturday, there was a snow
storm in our honor. I guess. But we
didn't mind It at all. We staid home
until then because we wanted to at
tend the dedication Of the Memorial
building, which was big event.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes enjoy st. Pet

Probable Repeal
Federal Inheritance
Tax Law by Congress

New York, Oct. 25-The repeal OF
the federal estate tax law In the
Forthcoming session of Congress
would but slightly affect the total
revenue Of the government during
the fiscal year 1895, and only mod
erateiy in the fiscal year 1897. accord
ing to an analysis OF the tax situa-
ton by the National Industrial Con-
ference Board; PAT Park avenue.ss9s
The amount Of revenue derived
from the federal estate. or so-called
Inheritance tax (including the auxi-
liary gift taxi during the last fiscal
year was approximately 100000, 900
or less than three per cent. Of the
total ordinary revenue OF the federal
government, according to the boards
latest taxation study, just completed
Should the tax be repealed, the re-
port declares. by March Is. 1925, es-
tates of persons dying before that
date will still be taxed at the pres
tnt rate, and the loss of the remain
ing few months of the fiscal year
would be small. Material revenue
also would still be collected from
this source even in the fiscal year
1927, it Is pointed out, as considerable
time generally elapses between the
death OF a person and the payment
of the federal tax by his estate.
The position Of the Conference

The conference d. board concurs in
the view that the levying of inheri-
tances taxes should be left entirely to
the states. One of its chief objections
against it Is that federal taxation in
th!r field aggravates a situation of
'."vexation, confusion and chaos" re-

1.-THE Pony Express" Is vivid

Against this vast panoramic back
