INHERITANCE
TAX LAW VALID.
Act Taxing Estates Of Wealthy Per-
sons Held to be Legal,
OPINION HANDED D0WN.s
Justice Baskin Of the supreme Court
OF Utah Writes Decision Agreed
TO by Brother justices.

The inheritance tax law, passed by
the Legislature OF 1901, was today de-
clared by the supreme court to be
constitutional The action in which
the point was raised Is that Of John
De Grey Dixon, state treasurer, vs.
A. G. Ricketts,, executor II the estate
of James NJ. Ricketts,, deceased. The
complaint In the case alleges that de-
cedent left an estate Of the value Of
S25S17Gs; that there are three legatees
named in his VIII. each Of whom is
entitled 10 legacy Of SS,G2JS9. The
state treasurer asked that writ Of
mandamus be issued to compel defend
ant TO pay S1S3SS as taxes on the in.
hertance.
The defendant demurred TO the COM
plant on the ground that II does not
appear that any legatee would receive
the sum Of $4,000 which Is the amount
named IN the law as the minimum upon
which an Inheritance tax shall be I'M
posed and upon the ground that the
law Is unconstitutional. The demurrer
was Oyerruled by Judge Hall and, de-
PENDANT prcferring to stand on his
demurrer the court issued peremp-
tory writ of mandamus compelling the
payment Of the tax. On the first point
raised By the demurrer the supreme
court holds that it was the intention
of the Legislature that the tax au~'
thori2ed by said act should be imposed
upon the right VI deyolution and sue
cession In respect 20 the whole estate
Of The decedent above the value Of
$4,000 and not upon the property itself
or any distrlbutiye share thereof.
As to the oonstitutionality Of the law
the opinion states that statutes Of the
same import have existed so long and
have been so uniformly sustained that
there Is no longer an open question as
TO their c0nstitutlonalty
The opinion OF the court Is written by
Chief Iustice Baskin and concurred In
w Justice Bartch and District Judge
HarloneauX.
