Judge John c. Hart. state tax COM
missioner, in the next few days will file
an intervention on behalf of the state
to secure the prompt payment of the
inheritance tax on the James NJ Smith
estate.
The Intervention viii set out that all

tate come under the same classification
as collateral heirs. that none will be en-
titled to deduction under the law and
that all will be subject to pay the same

Therefore. it will be claimed that the
state is entitled TO per cent of the es-

divided. and that the state should be
paid promptly, without being held out
of its inheritance tax during the pend
dency of what promises to be long lit

Estimating the Smith estate. to be

be conservative. the states share under

of bOodshed made the very blood Of law abiding citizens
fairly cold: when business was suspended and

ed by High School meets came in

that these activities prevail, for il

greater efforts along the beautiful
highway Of education, and also pro-
vides the humaN interest that al
ways makes lifDso delightful worth
the living.
So after repeated calls from High
Schools the A & NJ College has de-
cided TO put on a meet next April
p Il will be a great rally for pre-
paradOns are now under way to

fore the rally begins early Saturday

and pleased with the rally in every
way Prizes will be given by the

The officials at A & NJ desire in no
way to interfere with the U of NJ
annual rally.
