E. Lowry, and thereby refuses to al
low the tax commission to force Mr..
Belser to appear before the commits
sion with all the records of the Lowry

might ascertain what tax is due the
state.
Under the terms Of the order by
the court, the Inheritance tax will
be applied only to estates where
death occurred after the act took ef-
feet February 23, and no estates not
settled on that date will be taxed If
the death occurred prior to February

The question is," says the court in

The answer is estates now in the pro-

clear that the act is prospective.
