Dixon says special session paid by inheritance tax
Governor Jos. M. Dixon argues the extra legislative session is financed by the inheritance tax law. He notes the tax, altered by the senate to favor collateral heirs, will still yield about 200 000 dollars, primarily from foreign stockholders in major rail lines, Montana Power, and Anaconda Copper. This revenue, he says, would cover five sessions' costs.
