INHERITANCE TAX LAW.
Must Societies Chartered in Other
States Paw the Taxp

There was a hearing Monday before
Judge Bingham in probate court In the
matter of the collateral Inheritance tax in
the estate of Julia A. Hickok. BY her
Will several religious and educational So
cietics chartered in other States than YER
mont were left legacies and the question
has been raised whether or not they shall
pay an Inheritance tax.
1t Is the first case of the kind that has
been taken up by State Tax Commissioner
j. f. Cushman and he has been making in
vestigations for some time past. He has
found that several courts, including the
United States Supreme Court, have held
that statutes similar to that in force in
Vermont do not exempt such societies when
chartered in some other state. Some pro-
bate Judges in Vermont have made the
same holdings.
The principal legacies in Mrs. Hickok's
estate are to the American Board of Com
missioncrs for Foreign Missions the Amer
lean Home Missionary society, the Ameri-
can Missionary society, the New West Ed
vocational Association and the Hampton
Normal Agricultural Institute. Tho
amount involved is about $4,000 and the
inheritance tax is about Sl150.
