SOUTH DAKOTA INHERITANCE LAW
Taxation statute Held 90 he valid
only on Property within the state.

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., May 13-(Special)
Judge d. r. Bailey Of this city has rem
dered a decision in a case which was in
stituted in his court I'm the nature OF
test Of the new inheritance tax law. The
estate involved is that of the late George
l.. storer Of Madison. Wis. Judge Bailey,
in his decision. holds that the law Of 1905,
which gives the state of South Dakota
the right to assess a tax on all property
transferred to heirs, is constitutional.
Attorneys for the Storer heirs attacked
the law on the ground that several OF
its provisions were unconstitutional. Judge
Bailey also held that the South Dakota
courts have no jurisdiction over property
In another state belonging to an estate
which is partially situated in South Da-
kota. Under the decision the Storer heirs
are entitled to an exemption of 5000 each
from the value of the estate in South Da-
kota, as well as the same exemption in
Wisconsin, where they reside.
As the decision was a partial victory
for the heirs, the case instituted before
Judge Bailey will not be appealed to the
state supreme court.
