In reply to a query of State Treas
urer Kay whether the federal estate
tax was a proper deduction from the
amount of an estate in making the ap-
praisal for the purpose of collecting the
inheritance tax, Attorney General
Brown Saturday rendered an opinion
in which he says that the federal tax
imposed should not be deducted from
the appraised value. After showing that
the supreme courts of two states have
held opposite opinions in the matter
one holding it should be deducted and
the other that it should not, he says
that "neither the state inheritance tax
nor the federal estate tax is tax upon
the property constituting the estate,
but an excise tax upon the right of the
successors to receive such property. 1t
therefore does not reduce the amount
of the estate which passes to the de-
visee. The property is liable for the
two taxes, but each is levied upon the
total value thereof without respect to
the levy of the other "

Justice Ford in the Supreme Court yes

Swain was Mrs. Ksiser's maiden name.

his death. He also asked that she and
her daughters be forced to readopt his
