LECAC|ES NOT
TAXED UNDER
ACT OF 1905

Trenton, July 9:-The Court of
Errors and Appeals by unanimous
vote of the thirteen members pres
ent yesterday set aside a tax of
$4,000 assessed by former Surro-
gate George E. Russell, of Essex
county, upon 1850 shares of Stan
dard Oil stock owned by Mrs. Mar
tina T. Fiske Collered, who died in
Cairo in 1908.
The Court of Errors held that the
title. of the act of 1906 did not make
it applicable to the imposition of
taxes upon legacies. The reversal of
the Supreme Court decision sustain
ing the tax is likely to prove a seri-
u blow to the state finances.
During the past fiscal year the
revenues under the collateral inheri-
lance tax act amounted to $~569,449.
Most of these were levied under the
act of 1905 and the greater part of
them upon legacies to which under
the Court of Errors decision the
state was not entitled. The decision
will be followed undoubtedly by de-
mands upon the state to refund a
large part of the tax collected after
the act of 1905. The extent of the
demands cannot be accurately fore
told at this time, but it is roughly
estimated that 1t will reach not less
than a quarter of a million dollars,
and with taxes collected in proceed
liz years, may be nearly double
that sum-.
Yesterdays decision came as q
hard blow to the financial depart
ments Of the state government. II
is scarcely a secret that the bugaboo
of a direct state tax was only avoid
ed by the increasing raised
under the collateral Inheritance tax
law, the possible alternative being
the repeal of the law under which
the state annually pays a percentage
of the school tax.
The opinion was expressed by the
state counsel that the decision will
not invalidate the amended collate-
raj inheritance tax law of 1909,
whose title was changed to make 1t
clearly applicable to legacies. The
act of 1906 was an amendment to
the inheritance tax law of 1894,
whose provisions 1t was designed to
extend. In April Of 1909 the legis-
lature passed an amendment to the
act of 1906 which was in force until
July 4 of last year, when the present
law became effective.
Chief Justice Gummere wrote the
opinion handed down yesterday.
