So. st. Paul, Mrch 19.-If the state
Of Minnesota is wiling to acsept $685.
900 for its claim of something like
$450,00O against the. j. 8. Kennedy es-
tate of New York, in the shape Of in.
heritance taxes, it can have 1t without
further litigation.
This does not necessarily mean that
the administration Of the estate &C.
knowledges the state right to collect
on stock. owned by non-residents and
represented by property located with
in the state. but is merely for the pur.
pose of getting rid of lot Of expen.
sive litigation, the outcome Of which
some claim is doubtful.
Cooper on Proposition.
This compromise was put up to Gov.
ernor Eberhart, State Auditor lverson,
and members of the state tax commits
son by Attorney General G. T. Simp-
son on his return from the east. at q
conference held in the attorney gen.
erals office.
1t was some months ago that Mr..
Simpson startled the legal fraternity
with the announcement that he intend.
ed to enforce the state Inheritance tax
law against non-residens. 1t had
never been done before and there was
some doubt.
The estate of j. 8. Kennedy of New
York. owner of Great Northern stock
aggregating $14,00O,00O in value, was
selected for the test and claims against
the property were Immediately fled.

Since then . quiet investigation AZ
to the value Of the property represent.
ed in Minnesota has been on and as
far as known the estimate has been In
the neighborhood Of $4,oe0.000. This
was ascertained by taking the Great
Northern holdings and deducting the
mileage.
Mr.. Simpson. 1t IL said. is unwilling
to accept the amount rendered unless
backed by the other state oficials. He
even doubts his authority to make
when such would be taken
as equivalent to an admission OF the
states contention that 1t has power to
reach the property even though It Is
outside the state.
