THE Supreme Court has filed an
opinion declaring the so-called inherit

BY the terms of the act money raised

be used in paying the general expenses

is purely a specific one, and that the
law is in contravention of that section
of the Con .titution which makes it
mandatory that all money raised by
specific tax shall be credited to the
educational funds as far as needed and
thereafter applet to the extinguish-
ment of the State debt. The act in
question provided a tax of per cent.
on property OF the value of $500 or over
willed to collateral heirs or corpora
tions, and of | per cent. en- property
"a ued at $1,000 or over inherited by
lineal heirs.
