For years discarded ties have been

collect every tie. for the reason that
the mat of carrying them any great
distance was prohibitive. in the coun-
try a market has been found for some
of the ties, at a price covering the
cost of handling—«a few cents for each
tie, and where there is no demand for
this kind of wood burning on the right

in some localities the piles of ties

they wcrc taken after dark by people

THE ATWOOD CAOIB.
M
Review of tho st by the New Haven
Loader. '
Referring to what has been said in
reference to the Atwood suits and the
fact flint if has become evident that
the state has a vital interest in this
matter, because failure to file inven-
tories menus that line a number of im.
poriaut instances the Inheritance tax
has been dodged. the New London Day
says:
"The matter is of importance; the
state is interested. Nevertheless. it is
apparent that this law needstho atten-
tion of the legislature Ill soon on it
meets. it was meant for sometllius.
but that something was not private
speculation. The law should be left
so as to cover cases like the Gllman
instance but. it should been modified
as to prevent adventurers like D.‘Pres-
for: Atwood frdm working it for private
an n."
We know nothing of Mr. Atwood's
unlccodcuts, ambitious or prospects.
Calling him names does not change the
law, neither will fit alter any fact of
record which shows that the law has
not been obeyed.
The law was put upon, the statute
books for a purpose. it has been kept
there for almost forty years, and the
lust revision of statutca retained it.
That revision commission included
ilou. Donald '1‘. Warner. of Salisbury,
for many yours a judge of probate:
Henry (3, White, of New Haven, for
funny years a leading authority on
probate law. and Atlorucy lcneral
King, one, of the leaders of the Wind
hum county bar.
A brief study of this law may be of
some value to people of the state who
have heard a lot in condemnation of
. Atwood, but mighty little about the
facts.
Atwood did not make the law in
question. did not ask that it be made.
and cannot alter any facts in reference
to its violation.
Let‘s cut Atwood out of the discus-
sion for a moment and study the mat-
tcr without prejudice toward any in-
dlvldual.
The general statutes, revision of
1866. stipulated a penalty of $17 per
month. one-half to him who should one
therefore. and one-half to the town
where the estate was in settlement, for
failure to return an inventory for two
months.
in the General Statizles. revision of
1875. the law appears as in the present
statutes. Vii... a forfeiture of $20 per
month to him who shall sue therefor.
The marginal note in the revision indi-
cates that the charge was made in
1874. but the laws of 1874 do not ill-
clude such amendment and it is proba‘
bit! that the revlsors of 1875 made the
change.
Those who made the revision of 1815,
included the late Judge Hovey, of Nor-
wich. the late lion. Charles R. inger—
soll, of New Haven. and the late Judge
Lyman D. Brewster, of Danbury, all
leaders of the bar and men of great
experience in the settlement of estates. '
is it likely that such a law would
have been enacted. the penalty increas-
ed and the law retained all through
these revisions and during almost half
a century of time. if it had not been
regarded important that administrn
tors, executors and trustees be requir-
ed to file inventories and be subject to
cash penalty for failure to do so?
The important fact is that the inter-
ests of heirs to estates and of all the
people of the state demand that admin-
istrators, executors and trustees shall
file an inventory of properly entrusted
to their care. The general assembly
realized the importance of making a
law commanding that such inventories
be made and succeeding general assem-
biics and revision commissions, which
included some of the leading and best
men of the state, have never deviattsd
from that conviction. as their acts
which live after them, so abun-
dantly indicate.
A» few years ago the general assem-
bly of Connecticut, following the ex-
ample of law making bodies of other
states. enacted an inheritance tax, a
pmvlsion of which says that the state
shall receive a Certain per centum of.
all estates valued at over $10,000.
Isn’t it important that inventories of
all estates should be filed as the law
directs?
Does it follow that because many
have‘vioiated a‘ law that the law ought
to be repealed to save the violators
from punishment?
We have not yet had opportunity to
make much investigation into the
much-discussed Atwood cases. but very
‘caaual inquiry reveals the important
fact that because administrators and
executors have failed to obey the law
in question and the inheritance law.
he state has failed to receive a large
sum of money as justly due as the tax
levied upon the street railway com-
panies, the express companies, the in-
surance companies or the property of
the steam roads.
‘ is there any justice in forcing one
set of taxpayers to settle and then cx-y
citedly insisting that another set shall
be allowed to violate the law and that.
the atomey general and all the legal
machinery of the state shall be used
to shield those whoJiave done it?
In the interest of common fairness
and common honesty it seems to us
that the representatives of the state
should look into this matter carefully
before they‘give their aid in any eaten
prise that proposes to help or encour-
age the process of d“ dodging and
thus rorce uniiist on s upon proper-
. {y owpers who are honest, i '
