Andrew 'Carnegie left four and a half billion dollars in a fund to pro. vide pensions for friends and others unable to care for themselves. The court held that this sum was not sub. Ject to an Inheritance tax by the state on the ground that It was set aside by Carnegie for charitable purposes and was constructed to be a self-im posed tax. It prevented Increasing state taxes by eliminating many cases which the stale would other wise have had to provide help for. A man in Illinois who was killed In an automobile accident left >75,- 000 accident insurance which was all that stood between his family and charity from neighbors and the' com munity. He had taxed himself heavily to prevent those dependent on him from becoming a burden on the public. Yet the sum left by this man Is sub ject to a dozen different kinds of taxation, insurance companies being compelled to pay toll on premiums, capital stock, license fees and other assessments too numerous to mention. • The reasoning of the court in de claring exempt from taxation prop erty of Carnegie set aside for charit able purposes is readily apparent, but the logic of politicians subject ing funds of insurance companies, used to prevent increasing the taxes of the state by eliminating cases of charily, to taxation, is not readily understandable.— Manufacturer. Successful poultrymen test the fer tility of their flock before the regu lar hatching season begins. A trial hatch is run to determine the fertil ity of the eggs and whether the birds are properly mated. A True Fish Story A naturalist, writes Jafaes B. Thor- sen in one of his clever Insurance let ters. once divided an aquarium with a clear glass partition. He put a lusiy bass in one section and min nows in the other. The bass struck every time a min now approached the glass partition. After three days of fruitless lunging he ceased his efforts and subsisted on the food that was dropped in. Then the naturalist removed the glass par. tition. The minnows swam all around the bass, but he did not strike at a single one. He had been thor oughly sold on the idea that business was bad. There’s a moral here— take another shot at the partition Maybe it isn’t there any more!— The Recorder. Odd Accidents LUCK * « 0. A. C. FARM REMINDERS There were 854 boys’ and <irls’ clubs in Oregon last year, says H. C. Seymour, state club leader.
