Fund.

frankfort, Ky.-The State school
fund will get eighteen out Of forty
cents Of the entire inheritance tax
IN tbe Bingham estate and the roads,
TIn;versitv and Normal School will
share in proportion to the levy for
their support in the general tax law
The Court of Appeals this month
raversed the Franklin Circuit Court
and held that State Auditor Green
must may into the State school fund
eighteen fortieths of the inheritance
taxes collected and not Distributed
Attorney General Morris took the
view that under the law inheritance
taxes went only into the fund Tor
paving the general expenses OF tne
government. Gnu
state Superintendent Gilbert
brought the suit to collect S4lI'szo',
5o inheritance taxes he claimed
were due the school fund and the

tention.
Under this ruling only fifteen
fortieths of the Bingham tax can be
applied to the payment of the State
