This will atrect every rail road in the State. The third bill proposes to tax inhea. itances, legacies and other donations imortis cause or gifts in contemplation of death. The bill proposes to tax inheritances by relatives at 3 per cent, and bequests to others at 10 per cent. The bill stipulates that all inheritance taxes shall go into the general fund. It is estimated that the inheritance taxes will yield a total of about $600, 000 a year. The fourth bill proposes to place a license tax on the sale of pistols, blank cartridges and rifles, except rifles of twenty-two and twenty-five caliber. The tax is to be based on gross sales. There is a provision in the general license tax bill introduced, in the House by Jules Dreyfous of Iberia, that is expected to arouse resentment from editors throughout the State. It is a clause that proposes to impose a license tax on editors. A provision of that sort was written into the revenue law passed about twenty years ago, but it was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. After that de cision no attempt was made to collect the tax. In revising the license bill at this session the tax on editors was again inserted. This was done, too, in the face of the objection of Governor Parker. School teachers, bookkeepers and college professors would not be taxed. i.
