Capitalized at 30 years' purchase this enormous Rental Value would amount to £409,286,580 Under the present inequitable regulations of Succession Duty, such value of Realty would be taxed on an average per cent, at death, realizing only £7,674,185, while an equivalent amount in Personalty would have to pay Probate Duty of 3 per cent., or in all £12,278,597. Such is equality as understood by Land Owning Parliaments.
