a one-half interest therein by will
it is clear to us that if the wife
must pay an inheritance tax on
her half of the property upon
the death of the husband, that
the husband would likewise be
obliged to pay an inheritance tax
on his half of the property on
the death of his wife. The law
places them both on an equal
ity in this respect. This illustra
ton, however, accentuates the
unreasonableness Of the conten-
ton, for no one claims that the
husband is required to pay such
tax ON his interest in the commu-
nifty estate"
The supreme court includes
numerous citations in support of
its findings, referring to deci-
sions of cases similar in some
respects in the United States SUI
preme court and the highest tri-
bunal in other states. Acknowledge
ment Of citations referred to by
counsel is also made in the deci-
sion and in a few of these an
analysis is presented. The court
also points to conclusions reach
ed in the works of eminent legal
authorities which have a bearing
upon the Kohny case.
When Either Dies.
In closing the court says:
"We conclude that upon the
death of husband or wife the
survivor takes one-half of the
property in his or her own right
as survivor, and is not liable un-
der section 1873 to pay an in
heritance tax on such interest
in the community estate"
This case was brought to test
the inheritance tax law" said
Probate Judge Dunbar, in speak
ing of the decision last even
ing. "The opinion of the su-
preme court was sought on this
matter in order that
the legality of the measure
might be thoroughly tried out
and precedent established to
be followed in probate work in
the future"

tire community estate by reason
of the death of her husband. half
of. it was already hers, and the
only additional interest or right
she acquires in that half is the
right of management, control
and disposition.
Death has worked a dissolu-
ton of the community partner
ship and has left the surviving
partner to act for herself. She
also receives the other half of the
community property, but it comes
to her likewise by reason of the
death of her husband, through
the means TO her heirship. The
statute makes her an heir of her
husband, and SO, in the absence
of testamentary disposition of the
husbands share of the commu-
nifty property, she inherits his
half and takes his share under
the interstate laws. 1t is clear,
however, that she does not in
herit her share of the community
property.
