INCOME FROM death dŪTIES,
AHLI-YEAR OF WINDFALLS, I
The total receipts into the Exchequer from the death duties from April to September go last were £11,518,000, with an average weekly receipt of £443,446,' which · compares with 61 650,50s for the first half of 1968 and with £9 700,000 for the first half of 19:7.

It is not likely that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will during this year receive duty upon analber estata so larga as that of the late Mr. Charles Morrison, of Basildon "ouse, valued at £6,666,666 is'rospect of which a pay- ment of £1,000,000 was made on account o estate duty within ten days the shortest time possible after bis death, in order to avoid the payment of interest to the Exchequer on the duty:

The average of the crowd was certain ly recruited from small shopkeepers and em- ployees, to whom, the mult of the play muit often have besp a ques'ion of the rest or the week's bills. Next to me stood a young man and women anxiously watching their francs double or duappear, and later, as I waited for the train at the station, they, too, came in with dismay on every feature. They had evidently lost all they had brought with them, and weie reproaching each other bitterly for the disaster, Perhaps this testimony, added to that which appears in the Nouvelles, may lead the authori. 703,317 | Kies to open the eyes that aro wilfully closed to this defiance of the law. If the scope above described takes place in the early afternoon, it may be imagined what occurs at night, when the day's work is done.

It is to be regretted that important changes in the death duties should have been found ne- cessary to soon after the careful and thorough revision made in 1927 of the scale of 1894. From the nature of their incidence it is parti cularly desirable that death duties should be seldom altered, and only after notice, for the term of which one year is short enough. The
death duties, are in most cases a charge on the

is a gigantic Temple of Chance that advertiser largely in the whole French Press, and, accord- ing to the Nouvelles, extracts something like £320,000 a year out of the pockets of those who can the least afford it. I'went one afternoon to learn personally the methods employed, and | this is what I saw. A motor omnibus awaits the train, and deposits the visitor at the doors of a palatial villa guarded by a kost of livaried korvants. On entering I was asked for a ticket, and informed that I could receive one by apí plying to the secretary. This gentleman asked me for my name and too fracce as the subscrip- tion to the Baccarat Club. This, however, was not what interested me so much, though doubt. less it would bave been instructive to watch how the game was played, What I winted wan rather the public rooms where the petits chevaux were installed, and, as my time was limited, I preferred to make straight for them.
CAPITAL, AND.STAKES,
A small payment admits to the whole of the altractions, including chasse, pêche et canniage nec rding to the advertisement, but, although there is a like that covers about a couple of acres, it is evident that thè magnet which draws all who enter is the suite of gambling rooms, These hold four or five enormous tables in the shape of a Tor'a double T, at each of which is w species of roulette,wheel, containing a quad- ruple series of the numbers from one to nine,
