Inheritance Tax Law Gains Momentum in West Virginia
West Virginia begins to collect inheritance taxes under the 1904 re enactment after decades of minimal attention. Tax figures show $55 765.94 collected under the old system by county clerks and rising receipts under the new law, with projections of at least $70 000 for the 1907 1908 fiscal years and potential annual income above $50 000 if trends continue.
