TALLAHASSEE, May &c.
Gov. John w. Martin today au-
thorized Attorney General John
b. johnson to institute proceed
ings in the United States supreme
court to test the constitutionality
of the federal inheritance tax law,
according to an announcement at
the executive office.
The governor, in a certified let
ter to the attorney general, also
gave the latter authority to enjoin
the collection of such taxes in the
state of Florida.
The attorney general then an
nounced that he expected to leave
for Washington Monday to file
application with the court for per-
mission to test the law.
The governors letter to the at
torney general follows: "You are
hereby authorised and directed to
institute proper proceedings and
suit in the United States supreme
court against the United States or
the proper officials thereof, to
test the constitutionality and
validity of that provision in the
revenue law of the United States,
approved February 26, 1926,
where said law imposes a tax upon
the estates of descendants and al
lows a rebate on such tax collect
ED to all citizens or in all cases
where an estate or inheritance
tax is paid to a state, such rebate
not exceeding eighty per cent of
the amount of the federal in
heritance tax or estate tax i'm.
posed; and to enjoin the collection
of such taxes in the state Of Flor
ida.
Witness my hand and the seal
of the state of Florida, this the
date above written.
(Sd.l JOHN w. MARTIN,
Governor of the State of Flor
ida"
The governors action was tax.
en- in response to a resolution
adopted at the recent Florida
Take Inventory Congress, held at
West Palm Beach in which the in
heritance tax law was declared ia
be discriminatory, in that it al
lows those states having such
laws of their own an so per cent
refund. Florida, and few other
states, it was pointed out, have
no state inheritance tax law.
In statement issued some time
ago, the attorney general made it
plain that he proposed to attack
the constitutionality of the fed
eral Inheritance tax law, because.
he declared, it attempted to pre-
scribe for Florida a method OF
raising revenue in that way when
the state preferred to do so by
other forms of taxation.
