The coun- try generally owes-Florida a real debt of gratitude, Col. Knight, declared. Under the old law the govern- |ment could eollect'a maximum tax of forty per cent. Under the new law the maximum is twenty per cent, Undér the old Jaw only the first $50,000 of an estate was exempt from taxation. Under the jnew law ‘the first $100,000 is |exempt. It is the citizen with an’ estate of $100,000 or less who will find jit of marked advantage to be a jeitizen of Florida for the state collects no inheritance tax while all other states in the union ex- cept Alabama, Georgia and Nevada do. The state-tax on an estate of $100,000 ranges from $125 in Kansas to $4,500 in Wis- consin.

Directors of the State Chamber declared that the $100,000 ex- emption feature of the new law should be understood generally by the people of Florida and that every effort should be made - to call it to their attention. Flor- idians, it was added, should make it their business to assist. in broadcasting the information to the country. ~- CUT THIS OUT— SS IT IS WORTH MONEY Send. this ad and ten cénts to Foley & Co., 28: ffield Ave., Chicago, Ill, writ and hoarseness, also free sampl packages of FOLEY PILLS, diuretic stimulant for the kid- neys, and FOLEY CATHARTIC TABLETS for Constipation and Biliousness.
