Last Friday, Judge Hanna of Phil
adelphia rendered al opinion that
the direct Inheritance tax law pass
ed by the Legislature is un-constitr-
fiionai, nscauseit is not uniform in
its scope. that it taxes only csrssiaiii4 siii4 Il
amounts of personal estate and leaves
all amounts below that certain amount
uptaxable. He also incidentally de-

end of the year, and whether the es
tiInated income of the State will meet
the expected expenses, and what

new taxes shall be levied, he says in
substance, you are the parties TO
know. Don't ask me, but the burd
ems of the taxpayer should not bo

agsnces, economic, decrease existing
salaries from the highest to the low
