DUAL INHERITANCE
TAXLEW BARRED
States May Collect Only on
| Assets Within Their Bounds,
Supreme Court Rules.

States in imposing excise taxes or
the transfer of estates of deceased per
sons can tax only that part of the
personal property which is situated
within their borders, the United
States Supreme Court decided yes
terday in four cases from Pennsyl
vania involving the estate of Henry
G. Frick, the late Pittsburgh steel
magnate.
The estate was roughly valued at
S145, 900 900. A part of it, in New
York, was valued at more than S13,-
200, 900 and a part in Massachusetts,
at more than 1925, 900. The Federal
Government imposed a tax of S6,S3S, :
8S8 upon the estate, and Pennsyi-
vania sought to collect its transfer
or excise tax on the total estate also,
before this or other such items were
deducted and without any allowance
for taxes paid in Kansas, West Nlr-
ginia and other States for the trans
fer of stocks in corporations under
their jurisdiction.
Exempt i'm Pennsylvania.
Yesterdays decision by the Federal
Supreme Court, rendered by Justice
Van DeVanter, held that the value or
the tangible personal property in New
York and Massachusetts should not
have been included IN determining
the clear value on which the PennSyl-
vania tax was computed, and that in
determining this clear value the
stocks in corporations of other States
should not have been included at their
full value without deductinS the
transfer tax paid to such State in re
spect of those stocks. 1t found, how
ever. that the Federal estate tax
should not be deducted before impos-
ing the pennsylvania State tax.
Confiscation Seen.
The exaction by a State of d tax
which it has not the power to I'M
pose, Justice Van Devanter asserted,
constitutes the taking of properly
without due process of law in viola
ton of the fourteenth amendment.
While a State may so shape its tax
laws as to reach every object under
its Jurisdiction, il cannot give them
aDy extraterritorial operation, he eX-
planned, adding that the power to tax
tangible personal property rests eX-
clusiveIy In the State where the prop
erty is situated, regardless of the
do,nicile of the owner.
The Frick property in New York
and Massachusetts was wholly under
the jurisdiction of those States, he de
clared, and, despite their consent to
such procedure. it could not be taxed
by Pennsylvania.

"As losg as we allow war to con.

Jones explained he meant the way in

Few religions have been less in

out the moral dualism Of conduct
