INHERITANCE TAX LAW.
California Measure lis Valid and VIII Take
s3OO,00o From the Stanford Estate.

San Francisco. Sept. 16-The Su-
preme Court of California, In an opln-
Ion handed down in the matter of the
estate OF Senator Leland Stanford, has
held MS constitutional the act of 1893
taxing collateral inheritanccs.
This opinion, rendered by four jus
tees. one dissenting, rcyerses the de-
clslon in the same case written year
ago by Supreme Court Justice Harr-
son. who dissented from the majority
opinion to-day. The law as laid down
to-day applies to every estate In Cali
fornia over $500 in value and puts i'm
mediately into the school fund nearly
$500 900, all of which comes from the
Stanford estate.
When Senator Stanford died he left
will in which among other bequests,
he gave $2.500,0O0 to trustees for the
benefit of the university he had es-
tablished. and S2.200.O0O to certain OF
his nephews and nlcces residing In this
state and In the East.
The district attorney of this county.
on behalf OF the treasurer, brought an
notion against Mrs. Stanford, as admin
istratrix, for S235, $50 taxes on the col
lateral inheritances mentioned. In the
lower court Judgment went in favor of
the law ana an appeal was taken TO
the Supreme Court by Mrs. Stanford.
which reversed the judgment of the
lower court on the ground that the leg
islative amendment of 1897. exempting
local heirs and taxing foreign heir in
heritances was n discrimination and
hence the act and amendment were
unconstitutional.
This decision was regarded as n
great victory. as 1t was n hard blow to
the Inheritance tax act.
The attorney general of the state Sc
cured n rehearing and by the Supreme
Courts second decision the constitu-
tionallty of the act under consideration
is upheld on the ground that the tax in
question is not upon the property, but
upon the right of succession, and the
right of the Legislature to impose an
excise tax includes the right to select
the subjects upon which 1t shall he i'm
posed. The reason for the amount now
due. about S3O0.0OO, being greater than
the amount sued for. S235, ,750, is on ac.
count of the penalties attached for non.
payment of the tax.

Approximations seem to be felt in
some quarters lest the United States
may act with undue haste In the mat
ter Of giving the cubans independence
before they arc competent to govern
themselves. The United States IL
pledged not merely to give independ.
eace to Cpba. but TO Establish o
stable government there. To give this
former without providing the latter
would be equivalent to the creation oi
another revolution-plagued republic
This Ia 10 generally understood thai
few Americans are in favor Of making
haste about cutting loose from Cuba.
especially As long as the Cubsns dc
not become discontented with the de-
lay.
