Dear Sir:
In view of your personal reference
a neglected duty you have resorted to a
willful misrepreseLtation of the facts.
You further state that there is no
such amount of uncollected inherit-
to me in your communication to the J ance tax due the county. You knew of

of the Board why did you on June
10th. 1911, close and settle an estate
subject to a tax of from $400 to
.5500 without taking any steps to col
lect it? If you remember correctly
when you were asked by me why you
failed to collect the tax in this estate,
your answer was. ' I didn't think of
it'. If you deny this to be your ans
wer, will you not tell the people what
was your answer?
You further say that "some of the
estates from which inheritance tax is
electable are still in process of set
tlement". My report to the board is
based upon the estates closed and set
tied. Why mislead the public upon
the iimsy pretext or make-shift that
the tax mentioned in my report is due
fr';m unsettled estates?

! had but collected about SI. 200 of this
amount and that so far this year the
baiance of the 32.000 has been col
! eeted with the assistance of the coun
j ty attorney and that additional cost
! was made in one case for the reason
that you had practical ly closed the es
tate without makintr any eifort to col
let the tax?
You further say. "the inheritance
tax law is new and subject to many
dmerent and conflicting interpreta
tions". This law has been on the
statutes for the past ten years. Do
ou conswer a law new. wnicn nas
been in force and erf ect for ten years.'
You further say. There is one estate
where the interests of the heirs was
very conflicting and the settlemeut
of the estate troublesome". Did
vou not si;rn the nnal decree in
j that estate giving the names of the
I heirs and decreeing the amount of pro
perty each should receive, and for the
ourpose of collecting this tax. was
1 lot that decree as plain as the nose on
' .-our face.' Don't vou fullv under
stand that judgement over vour sism-
1 irare? Why did you close that large
' -'state without collecting the tax. es
pecially after your attention was call
. ed to it by some of the attorneys in ,
' the case'.'
Y -u state that by proper procedure
i tne tax can be collected. The stat- ,
, ate r-juires you to proceed to collect
ih. tax before the estate is closed.
Tan't you realize that by closing
these states and after removal of
Heirs and t-ansfer of land to innocent
' -oi: :haser. that the collection of this
t
. tai :- going to be extremely costly
md nazardous and that it will be prac-
i nca.iy impossible to collect a great
portion thereof?
You say my report is grossly un
fa, r to you. How can this be when
' V5U knew the Board had requested an
nsnection and report to be made? As
you no doubt know. I riled my report
mmediately upon completion of my
investigaton. Did you expect me to
withhold my report, and if so, why
and for what period of time? You
iave a complete knowledge of your
,.vn records and if you consider my
report unfair why did you not rile a
report of your own instead of request
ng further investigation?
In conclusion will state that during
my campaign last fall I pledget! the
rax payers of this county, of elected,
to conduct my ornce in the interests of
tne people and not in the interest of

Untimely Death Often Prevented
Countless mistakes have been made by medical men innocent vic
tims have paid the penalty for each. On the other hand, countless suc
cesses have resulted from expert diagnosis. To know the errors of those
who failed to know the metnoiisof those who won increase the chances
of successful treatment.
For many years, we have been closely connected with leading Spe
cialists of every school of practice. We have interchanged ideas, we
have been co-workers in all that concerns the art of healing. Besides
this mass of experience, we have the combined knowledge of each of our
own Specialists. They constitute our "Medical Advisory Board," and
deepseated or complicated cases are submitted to them. The result is
evident. It means better diagnosis, better treatment and less expense.
