FLORIDA MAKES
PROTEST AGAINST
INHERITANCE TAX
Claims Federal Law Aimed
Only at PeninSuIar
State.

BIZ times SDeCtdb
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Porten-
tously citing the Boston tea party
and the American Revolution as the
sort of thing that's apt to happen
when there's taxation without repro
sentation the State of Florida has
just filed~a brief with the United
States Supreme Court, demanding
the elimination of the present Fed
eral inheritance tax law.
II is the Florida contention. made
through Attorney General John B.
Johnson, that the Federal inheri-
lance tax law, which seeks to equal
lie such tax collections throughout
the country, is unconstitutional be-
cause it hits some States harder
than others. 1t seems that it's par
ticularly hard on the States of Flor
ida, Alabama and Nevada, which
have no inheritance tax laws.
According to the provisions Of the
present Federal revenue act, as
much as 80 per cent of the amount
of the Federal inheritance tax
ranging from l per cent on estates
of $50, 1000 to 20 per cent on estates.
over $4,000, 000-can be related
States having similar laws.
This, according to the Florida
argument, penalties States having no
inheritance tax laws because they
can't claim rebates, and their
citizens have to pay the full amount
of the Federal tax. Such an ar
rangement, it seems, lessons the in
ducement to millionaires to die in
Florida because, while they can
escape a State tax, the Federal tax
hits their estates with full force.
\Such a scheme, Florida argues,
makes the Federal tax discrimina-
tory and violates the Constitution Of
the United States. It is also char
acterized as a legislative device Ito
coerce the State of Florida into inn
posing and levying an Inheritance
tax"-something that can't be done
without violating a provision of the
State Constitution forbidding such
taxes.
1.-The estate tax provision of the
Revenue Act" snys attorney
General Johnson, twas not passed
for the purpose of raising Federal
revenue. 1t was directed primarily
at the State of Florida" Under such
conditions he asks. us Florida to sit
supinely by and see her sovereignty
destroyed" He AYERS not and
suggests a series of dire political con-
sequences which have come from
taxation arrangements similar to
the one in question.
There is no mention of the effect
of the Federal tax law upon the in.
flux of millionaires to Florida.

Ireland's Middle Age
Place of PILGRIMAGE

Ireland has place of pilgrimage
which has held its position for Ii CEN
turtles. 1t is on an island in Lough
Derg, and is said to be the only pill
grimage of modern times conducted
like tho.'e of the Middle ages. 1t is
freely noticed in medieval literature,
and still today Is very much alive. 1t
is visited yearly, beginning in the
month of June, by all sorts Of people,
and despite its rigors, 1t is SO popu-
lar that new church has been built
and the railway companies run ex-
cursions to it. The pilgrims arrive
fasting and make their rounds of the
stations in their bare feet. Three Of
the stations must be made each day
Of the three days Of the pilgrimage.
The first meal is of black tea and
dry bread, and this has to last for
"a hours. A whole night is spent In
prayer In the church. This Is try
Ing experience, yet year after year
hundreds return, and they include
notable figures in public life. None
but pilgrims are allowed on the Is
land, and once there, all the strict
regulations must be observed by all.

MEXICO'S LAND
LAWS MAY. BE
ACCEPTED

New York.-Will the state depart
ment gradually weaken in its opposi-
ton to Mexico's mineral and oil land
laws, and will this system eventually
be adopted by the United States?
These policies are intimated by C.
F. Hughes, financial writer on the
New York World:
while show of opposition to the
Mexican oil laws is still maintained
it is likely that the American com
panies will follow their British rivals
into the new arrangement Through
the smoke screen of propaganda ap-
pears that Mexico is only seeking
what the governments in South Amer
lea and in Europe have always had
namely, state possession of mineral
rights.
"It is even quite possible that the
same principle may be adopted in this
country in order to control the over.
production of oil, which is so bitterly
criticised. At least, some oil mer
are convinced that this is the only
way out"

Of Germany. Not only does Doctor
Won Frisch find that honey bees enjoy
daily siestas, but love of ease varies

a method of marking Individual bees

they saw marked bees return to their

Discovery Saued Millions

Theobald Smith, sometimes called
the captain of American microbe hunt
ers, solved the mystery Of what gives
Texas fever to northern cows and
how southern cows carry this disease
north. When he found that the dis
ease was given to animals by tick.
he not only saved the cattle industry
millions of dollars, he showed men
an entirely new and fantastic way a
disease may be carried-by an insect,
and only by that insect, says Paul
de Kruif in his book, 'Microbe Hunt
ers." The developments of this scien-
tific discovery have saved and will
save countless lives. For example,
David Bruce, British army doctor, dis
covered that the tsetse fly was re-
spOnsible for the terrible African
sleeping sickness. 1t was learned
also that mosquito, and only one
kind of mosquito, was the carrier of
