Arbuckle has designated Hays to

inheritance tax in this state, and he

Governor Brough said the cost of
collection had exceeded $4,000 a

system. He recommended that the
collection of inheritance tax be
vested in the state tax commission,
or that the office Of inheritance tax
attorney be created at salary Of
