State Chairman Elkin is responsible for the
statement that the now Direct Inheritance Tax
bill will be dropped. He said today:
1T will not DO necessary II the appropriation
am satisfied that the original direct inheritance
act Is constitutional and that the Supreme
Court will so decide when the case is fully
argued. That law and the small revenue moas-
