The supreme court OF Pennsylvania
has. in decision rendered in the mat
ter of the estate of Cope. held uncon-
stitutional the Pennsylvania direct in
heritance-tax law of April 12, 1897.
The act in question imposed tax Of
2 per cent on all personal property OF
a decedent passing by will or by the
intestate laws of the state after de-
ducting the debts of the decedent and
the costs of administration, but ex-
empted from the payment of the tax
personal property to the amount OF
$1,000. The court held that this ex-
emption created an inequality in the
burden OF the tax.
