 From Income Return ,

WASHINGTON, March 1S.@The federal government today lost an i'm portant income tax suit when the United States court of claims held that every estate, the net amount of which exceeds $50.000 and which has been, or is hereafter compelled to pay the federal estates tax, is entitled to deduct tn amount so paid from it's income tax return.

The court awarded a judgment for $165,075 in a suit to re- verse the action of the com missioner of internal revenue in refusing to al low, as a deduction under the income tax law, the sum of S4S9.S34 paid as federal estates tax.
 The decision in the case was based on the construction of section 214 of the revenue act of 1918, which pro- Nides that in computing the net in come there shall be allowed as deduc- tions taxes paid or accrued within the taxable year imposed by the au- thority of the United States except income, war profits and excess pro fits taxes" the construction ofs the commissioner of interal revenue be- ing that the amount paid under the estates tax law was not tax which could be deducted, but "a toll taken from the property transferred.
