Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court at st. Paui, IN a
case from Mcleod County, declared the
Minnesota inheritance tax law to De I'M
constitutional, being contrary to the con-
stitutional provision requiring equal tax
alton, because it exempts real property
and assesses such tax only Oh personal
property, and because of other exemp-
lions. The law was passed in 1897, after
the adoption of a constitutional amend
ment permitting such a law. Several large
estates, notably the Donaldson and Fills
bury estates of Minneapolis, had been
permitted to file briefs of the case when
it came before the Supreme Court, but
