Enough to Discourage

CPEAKING of reduction of inheritance
~ taxation, few instances like that of
the Mark Hopkins estate, in California,
and the millionaires will be yelling for
100 per cent inheritance taxation.
( Mark, one of the founders of the South
ern Pacific railroad, went to his eternal
reward, as mutimillionaire in 1879. and
his Sl0,O00,000 estate, now worth prob
ably S300,000,000, was divided between his
widow and two brothers, in 1888.
Now come 90 folks from North Carolina.

on the ground that they are descendants
OF four brothers and three sisters of Mark
who weren't there when the melon was
cut, az years ago, and didn't learn of it
for 40 years. And back of these 90 bring
ing suit are 80 other alleged descendants.
The lawyers think that it means a
CHEEKY increase in businesses. But isn't il
discouraging to fellows who are piling UP
millions merely for fight among a hun
dred or more relatives, who may not know
they are dead and divided for 40 years?

Wanted, More Reform

MAYBE real good folks will finally
lfl secure reform in newspaper publica-
ton of crime news, but there are other
news reforms that shrek for attention.
when old established news associations will
issue such as this:
"MANlSTIQUE, Aug. l0.-Mrs. Todd,
while picking berries on the plains some
distance out, mistook it for stump and
sat down on bear"
Drat news policy which leaves lady
sitting on bear Were the plains not so
far out but she beat that bear back to
town? Did she spill the berries? How
long did she sit and with what effect
Consideration is due the bear, too. Maybe
he wasn't accustomed to being sat on by
woman. Maybe, having before been sat
on by woman, he knew enough to just
lie still and grunt.
Drama, tragedy, comedy, lyric, idyl,
even philosophy possible in it. and the
lady still squat on bruin, so far as the
startled world knows, with heaven only
knows what became Of the berries.

sented. in the line of march.
