CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 5.—The total income derived by the ‘state from the inheritance tax during 1925 amounted to $45.068.84, representing the amount paid by 66 estates duty ing that period. according to figures made public Monday. This amount ts somewhat smaller than the total of the preceding yenr, $61,881.15 being taken in during that year from 56 estates. The decrease in the 1925 total is attributed to the general financial condition in the State, it.is declared. as the estates, assuming thelr statutory | rights, chose to pay the state interest on theamount of the taxes rather than pay the full amount when hard pressed for the ready cash. The fact that the total for last year was smaller than expected does not re- flect in anydsyay on the change ef- fected in the state inheritance tax Jaw by the last legislature, it {s un- derstood, as the law became effective wap rr Quentin K, Deaver, vice-president of the Casper National Bank, ten- dered. his resignation to the board of directors of the bank at the an- nual meeting today.
