A TAX ON SUCCESS.
OPPOSITION TO THE INHERITANCE TAX
BILL GROWING.
CITY OFFICIAI?? AND PROFEBSIONAL AND BP3I
NES8 MEN AGAINST IT AMD NO DEMAND
FROM OTHRRS-. FOR IT?EFFECT ON
THIS I'OUMEIlClAl. EMINENCE
OF NEW-YORK.
It Is a long time, possibly, eine?? an opposition eo
attcng ?nd detonataMd was levelled at any bill In
tho hands of the Governor hh that which haa de?
veloped against tho Graduated Inheritance Tax
bill. How a man of tho supposed lnteillgf BOS and
political sagacity of State Controlar Roberts should
stak.? his chance of a nomination und election to
the highest office of the Empire State on a mean
ure so Inequitable and unjust le something that tho
keent?et politicians have been unable to Baderete nd.
"Kvery day." said President li.irk.r of lh.? Tax
Department yesterday, "men of property who come
Into this office, on business te',1 me that their ar?
rangements are made, and that If the Inheritance
Tax bill becomes a law their place of residence will
be onftSMe of New-York. ? well-known citizen,
who has paid the city on personal nssc.iMnents for
more than a Quartet of a century, told me to-d;.y
that If Governor Blaofe signed this bill I might be
eure that he hud paid his last personal taxes in
New-York. Theie is no question in my mind that
the worst pooelbte conseipiences to the public treuta
ury await tho enactment of this Inheritance tax.
The Tax Coinmlssii tiers of New-York se?? only a de?
pletion of taxable property as the result of this
scheme. This un be readily a?eoompilahod either
by electing a ehang? ot rea ?dance ?? .'mother Stato
or the citizen may divide up his property among
his heirs before his deatb It Is no secret that the
last-named method has b? ? ? employed by more
than one rich man who died In thla city recently.
"But the worst effect of this bill Is that It would
drive out of New-York, to spend their money and to
pay their taxes in other States, people of wealth
Who Would under reasonable? conditions remnln
here, pay their taxes here, spend their money line
and die her?? The effect of such a law is to drive
men of capital and their money ont of New-York
No severer blow could be dealt the public trefis
ury."
A VICIOVS BILL.
Mayor Strong said ?jroatatday that he had ex?
pressed It as his opinion on the day that State Con?
troller Robert?'? proposition was made public that
it would result in harm, though good might be in?
tended.
"The Graduated Inheritance Tax Mil." continued
the Mayor. "Is the most vicious bill that has passed
the legislature for a long time. There I? no good
rer.son for its becoming a low. Th? present law
hr??- had a tendency to drive some of our wealthy
people out of the city and get them into the habit
of sending their money out of the State. This
drastic measure will drive many more away and
cause wealthv citizens to adopt for hones country
placea OUt of the State that most of them own, in?
su nd of remaining resident? of New-Tor*?. City. I
hope that the Governor will discover the true facts
and will efe that the bill Is opposed to the best
Interests of our people."
Corporation Counsel Booti said that the bill was
dearly ? the Une t Socialism, and could not be de?
fended on any other line of reasoning. "I have," said
he, "adviaed against Its becoming a law as preju?
dicial to tne interest! of both the city and State."
Controller T'itch said yesterday: "I do not think
that I have ani thing to add to my letters written
to Governor Black aererai week? ago protesting
against his permittir.tr this Inheritance Tax bill to
become a law, TlM Governor, If he considers Its ef?
fect upon the prosperity of the State, must refuse
to approve such a bill. Unless he desires to promote
the Interests of adjacent States at the expense
of the people of New-York he will withhold his slgna
MR, GITHRIE'S OPINION.
William P. Ontario, of the law firm of Seward.
Guthrie, MorametS ?fc Steele. has BUbmltted nn argii
ment to the Governor wherein are shown many
pertinent nnd conclusive reasons w.iy the bill should
not become a law. la the first place Mr. (?uthrle
draws attention to the vast Injury such a measure
would do by drivlm* capital to other States, which
would work to the ultlmite detriment of all classes,
whether farmer or mechanic, In country OT eity. Mr.
Outhrie assorts that the proposed tax would he un?
constitutional because It Is unequal In its operation
and does not tax property or the rlisht of succession
upon any uniform or Just basis. Taxpayers, he con?
tends, cannot lawfully he divided Into classes and
assessed at different rates according to tho amount
of property owned by them. While agreeing ?bat the
Stato may classify property and claaalfy rights and
privileges, Mr. Outhrie draws attention to tho fact
that the question at Issue. Is not whether the Legis?
lature may select a particular class of property for
taxarlon, but whether it can prescribo rules of taxa?
tion upon like property or like privileges which shrill
vary according to tho wealth of the owner. If such
right exists, what -protection, he asks, Is thero
against spoliation or confiscation at the will or ca?
price of th? Legislature: and If the right to dis?
criminate In the least exists, where Is the limit or
check or protection?
Mr. Outhrio quotes precedents coming from the
highest courts In the land laying down the de?
cision that arbitrary selection can never bo Justi?
fied, by calllw? lv classification, and that such
action Is expressly torMddetl In the equal protec?
tion damanded by ttM Fourteenth Amendment. In
IllliiolB, for Instance, the graduated tax, much
more resonabl?* than that proposed In the Dudley
bill, was declared unconstitutional and void by
judge Callar, who shews by reference to other
leading cases that any legislation with reference
to taxation which do?* not tend toward equality
or uniformity, by approximation at least, ought
not to be sustained. in concluding his opinion
Judge Carter sa.d: "Believing, ns I do strongly, in
the ?Xundnmantnl idea of a tax-inheritance law, and
that when such s law is properly drawn it Is one
of the most satisfactory method? of taxation, it is
with great reluctanco that I have been forced to
the conclusion that the classification attempted in
this law causes unjust discrimination between
persona, Is arbitrary, unreasonable and not i<as?-?i
upon sound principi?? of public policy, and that
tho law must bo held unconstitutional."
ALL AOAINST IT.
Matthew C. D. Korden, the well-known manu?
facturer of cotton cloth, when seen yesterday by a
Tribune reporter In his orfico In Thomas-st., said
there was no division of sentiment among the
?UPO?fill business men of the city as to the In?
heritance Tax bill. "With slight variations of
expression," he said, "they all talk tho same way
In opposition to tho measure. It is simply one of
the messi fes ?doslgiMd by country members of
the Legislature to compel the property-owners of
this city to pay nearly all the taxes of the Btate,
One cannot help wondering h?iw far this system
of ml.hing the ?ity for th- beni fit of the country
distri? ts l- to 1*? carried. President Barker <?f
the Tax Department Is quite righi in saying that
? ???.?. u,? ti ire? will drive men of mean? out of the
State. \v?? can tranaacl business just as well
outside of New-York. We are not com?>?iied to
Hv? in New-York if we ar?? to be unjustly pun
Ished for being successful. Why do men engage
netas if it i.?? not to be successful and make
money? if ihey do not want to make money they
rulKht iif-tt-r k.-'-p out of buelnesa altogether. Hut
thla Inheritance Tag bill Is designed not only to
punish men for being auccessful In their business,
but also to punish them the more according to
the measure of th-ir suoeess. I live in New-York
yet, but ? dm. . know hov.? long I shall continue to
lit re If ? ucl . bill becomi s a law."
Rbhard Deeves, the well-known and successful
builder, said in hi- office, ut No. ?8 Broadway: "I
hav.- i.?.;. foi ? long time that the State of New?

Albany. May ? (Special!. C!o\-ernor War??? la ro- j
eei\jng a large number of brief.? and letters In op?
position to the bill of Controller Robert? Imposing? j
? progressiv? Inheritance truc, which was presented ]
to tlie Legislature by Assemblyman Dudley, of -
Niagara County. Mr. Roberts, on his part, has ?
submitted a brief |n su? port of the measure.
It Is noteworthy that 'The Troy Times." which
may bo regarded a? Mr. Blaehfe personal news- I
paper ornan, Is dally attacking the measure and >
giving reasons why It should fall to re??elve the ,
Signatur? of the Oovernor. "The Titres" frequent?
ly prints four or five columns of editorial? copied
from other newspapers crltlclslnff the Roberts bill.
Judging from these articles, the presa of the Btate
Is practically united against the measure. These
attacks are not of a partisan nature. They come
from Republican and Democratic newspaper? alike.
All seem to be of the belief that the bill 1? not la
the Inlerest of the State; that, while Its avowed
aim Is to Increase the public revenue from a tax
on Inherited estates, it would, on the contrary, de?
crease the State's present income from that source
by causing rich men to eeek residence tn other
8tates.
EFFECT ON THF? TAX RATE.
Any decrease of the receipts from the inheri?
tance tax at this time would Incre?ane the State
tax rate. If the present scale of State expendi?
tures should be maintained, and it be.-me likely to
be maintained owln? to the assumption by the j
State of the caro of tha Indigent lnnane and of a
largo number of charitable institutions, coupled
with the adoption of a policy of Improving tho
cannls by an expen.lltore of I^.OflO.OOO. the purchase
of (A\MMB) worth of Adlrordack lands, and the
immediate completion of the Capitol at a cost of
B.Wtrt
It was well understood when the recent State
tax rate was adopt??*! that It was rather a forced
one. It is 2.67 mills. Instead of 2.69 mills, as In
IS!??, but In eonsciiuence of the Increased valua?
tions of real an?! persona! property the lmver tax
rate will produce a larger sum by tlOo.oCO. J'esld.a,
this decrease of lim tax rate was only established
by takln?; Si.*?'.*?? out of a surplus In the State
Treasury. Th'* accumulation? of former years
Were used to conceal the extent of the appropria?
tions of th?? Legislature of 1W. A continuance of
such a policy would exhaust the ?urplue and com?
pel suddenly and without apparent reason a large
Increase of tho tax rate.
Any great decrease In the r?*c?rfpts from tne In?
heritance tax would surely pre?-ent Governor
Klack from materially decreasing the State tax
rate next year, an object on which he has set hi?
mind. By making the appropriation for the pur?
chase of Adirondack land.* this year, and also that
for the completion of the Capitol, Mr. Rlack hope?
to bring about a marked reduction In th? rate
next year.
F.YF.9 ON THE GOVERNORSHIP.
One of Mr. Illack'e motlv???? In havln? a low tax
rate next year naturally will be to secure favor?
able consideration for himself as a candidate for
renoinlnatlon. A Republican State Con?*entlon
would probably feel that It had a strong candidate
for Governor In the person of a man who had great?
ly reduced the tax rate. There was unanimous
testimony this year from the members of the Legte
latUTB, representing rural constituencies, that never
wer?- the fanners of the state reeling so poor. Any
lowering of taxe?, therefore, would be appreciat?-d
bv them, und no doubt Mr. Dark Is conscious of
the fact.
It (a believed that Controller Roberts would like
to use this Inheritance Tux bill. In case Mr. Dark
should sign It, lo promote his own candidacy for
ihe Qovernorslp, Hla line of argument, of course,
would bo that ho was the author of tlie meas?
ure, and therefor,, entitled to the support of those
who might be favorable to lt. Mr. Roberte con?
trols tin- organisation of the Republican party in
Lrle County, and thus has the nUCleUB of u good
deal of strength in seeking a nomination. More?
over, as Controller be h.is a large number of ap?
pointments all over the Stato, which may bo made
Influential when Ihe time comes to select dele?
gates to the state Convention of lvs.
A I'lSAPPOLVTINil TAX.
Mr. Roberts estimates the receipts from the In
heettance tax for the fiscal year hestnlng on Octo?
ber 1, 1<Jii7, at .?a/NHi.fNVl. This seeins B lame esti?
mato, when ?me considera that for th? last flacal
year the tax oniv brought in ei,TM,6S?*, a year ?go
alati Mr. Roben? estimated he would' r-? ? ; -
(fcOnO.OOO. If the Roberta bill should be signed, and
the owner? ?>f many large fortune? ihould move
curi of th.? stat??, the discrepancy between the esti?
mated and tbe actual ?, turns from this source
would proba My b<? greater than ever. That the
receipts from the Inheritance tax have even under
normal condition? been fluctuating Is dear from
the following tab!.? Bhowlng what It has produced
since It was established:

nevertheless, is steadily havln?? (be effect of driv?
ing wealthy men out of the State Only by a
most determined eearch In the last two yean has
Mr. Roberts been ahle to pecure the sums he hii
colbeted from the tax. These searches cannot be

??arnr-Kl?. Hull war, crowded last evening: at the
thirty-ninth miniver??.iry and commencement exer?
c?es of that well-known New-York Institution of
praettcal edafattea. Packard's Musine?* College.
The nudlence contained many of the friends nnd
relatives of the graduating class, of conree, but
there were also present mitiy of the older alumni
of the college, who were th'-re to testify to their
Interest In the Institution and the esteem In which
ihey hold Mr. Packard. There was plenty of ?rood
music. The programme wa.. begun with prayer by
the Rev. Or. S. De L.uic.y Towiisend.
When Mr. Packard arose :o make the Introduc?
tory remarks, there was a deal of hearty applause
from both his older pupils and those who were
graduated last evening, and it was some time he
fore he could be heard. Ills brief address was full
of interesting reminiscences of the earlier days of
the school and of Its growth and progress.
Charles Emory Smith spoke forcibly on "Brains
in Business." He said in part:
"It Is a double education to have had Professor
Packard for a master. ills lmpr?ss Is stamped
upon character M well SS upon accomplishment.
You nre going out Into the stnigxle of busln??*s
activity. A hundred years ago, even fifty years
affo, that would have meant that you renounced
ambition and sought nothing above the general
level of existence. To-duy It means that the high?
est prizes of llf? lie along your chosen pathway and
within your grasp. Tho age of chiva 11 y has gone
by. This Is tho age of mar?'ellous material develop
ment and enterprise. In the hundred years that
followed the Inauguration of Washington the
wealth of this country multiplied a hund??'?? 1-fold.
our Republic began a hundred years n?o wiin
nothing, and now It holds one-??? of all the wealth
of all the world. This amazing development has
eprung from the wonderful physical revolution of
tho century.
"Out of tills prodigious change of conditions has
grown a COI responding change of .ont rolling forces.
Formerly talen) sought ?>??? statecraft, or the law.
or the pulpit. To-day it finds its scope nml oppor?
tunity In a hundred forms ? f business enterprise.
It diga wealth out of the earth, or hCWS If out
of the forest, or weaves it out of the loom, or
forges it in the furnace, or fuses It with the electrle
spark, or transmutes It In the exchange The tyin?
of tho beginning of rhe century was Napoleon, or
Pitt, or Hamilton. The type, of the end of the
century Is Edison, ?t Stewart, or Commodore Van*
derbllt. Even statesmanship has become the hand?
maid of enterprise. The brains of tho country
seek business opportunities; more brains are re?
quired in the management of many of our vast
enterprises than hare been sufficient to rule na?
tions.
"Tills business college, which now adds another
year to its shining record. Is a training school t >r
the special demands of this wonderful age of su?
preme business organization, and It sends you
forth equipped to take your place.? In the great
body of capable and energetic work.'rs whose la
i?ors ar*> brineing the greatest achievements, the
highest advancement and the broadest general hap?
piness which the world has ever seen." (Qreot ap
plauee.)
?U the close of Mr. Smith's address Mr. Packard
presented diplomas to UB pupils, forty-five of whom
wer? young women.

San Francisco. May 11.?Tho friends of Jeannlne
Young, "Harones* von Turkhelm," In this city,
have not yet done anything toward raising money
to enable her to return to Han Francisco, as she
requested in her cable dispatch to the Chief, of Po?
lice. Attorney HuttOfl and rno or two ether peo?
ple who are sufficiently Interested In lier affairs
to assist her. If the necessity should arise, are
afraid that, the cable dispatch to Chief Lees was
sent by Von Arnold as a decoy In the hope of
obtaining money With which to continue his
travels. Mr. Hutton, therefore, will await con?
firmation of the news of the bogus baron's deser?
tion before he do.s anything in the matter. Chief
beea cabled the Barone?? last night to communi?
cate with Mr. Hutton.
On account of the reference In the cablo dispatch
to tho Important papers In the Fair caso that are
said to be in Von Turkhelm'? possession, the
Chief held a consultation with (leirrg?? A. Knight,
attorney for Charles I?. Fair, with the object of
ascertaining whether the woman might have had
any Incriminating documents. Mr. Knight stated
that In his opinion ?he had nothing that would be
of importance in the Craven caso or that could be
introduced in evidence. Charles Fair would not
put up a cent to bring her back, sor did he care
whether sho ??ver came back or not. He knows
where all the important documenta In the Craven
case are.

not on the programme. Lawrence Horton, thirty
two yearn old. a cotton broker, of No. 152 Madison
aVO., with two friends, was among tho early ar?

served. Th? party proceeded to have a good timo,
and many were the t rips made by the waiters.
After awhile the party In Mr. Horton'e box made
more noise than their tickets permitted, according
to tl?.-. Ideas of the managers, and they dispatched
S waiter to ask Mr. Horton if he would not be a
little more dignified. Tbe reply was ? blow In tlie

to the extent of 40? shares by George F. Doughty,
deoeaaed, who was secretary of the company prior

Into the hands of the bank, nnd the railroad com?
pany Is now Judicially required to stand the loss.
The capital stock of the company was $a,(?<i.0OO,
In Sii.tNtn shares of $1?X) each.
After Doughty*? death, the overissue comlnrr to
light, some of the holders made inquiry of the
president, Theodore Cook, who said that the stock
was all rieht. Other holders took Doughty*? word
that the Issue was valid. All of the hold? rs claimed
that th? Issue had been signed by the l?gitim?t?
officers, which was true. Some of the courts be?
low made a dtatlnctlon between holder? ?ho had

Doughty issued th?? stock In his own mine, using
old serial numbers for the new certificates, and
