FLORIDA'S ATTACK
ON LAW CHALLENGED
Government Declares State Has No
Right to Put Inheritance Tax
Up to Court.

Florida's right to attack in the Su.
preme Court the constitutionality of
that part OF the Federal inheritance
tax law under which Inheritance
taxes paid States up to so per cent of
the Federal tax are credited in the
collection Of the Federal tax was chal-
lenged in the court yesterday by the
Government.
The court was urged by Solicitor
General Mitchell to refuse to permit
Florida to file such a proceeding. He
insisted that Florida did not have suf-
ficient interest in the controversy 70
warrant it and that the question was
one for Congress and not the courts
to decide. He contended that Con-
gress had the right to decide what
taxes should be paid to the Federal
Government by Florida citizens and
that the state was not the exclusive
sovereign in the matter of taxes paid
to the Federal Government by resi-
dents.
Florida's attack was described as
nothing more than a.reQuest a upon the
court for an opinion on the constitu-
tionality of the law. something which
the court had repeatedly refused to
give. It's refusal to permit Massa-
chusetts to challenge the maternity
act was controlling in the Florida
case, he argued.
Attorney General Johnson of
Florida. who described himself as a
"cornfleld lawyer" expressed his in
dignation over what he charged was
the object Of Congress in enactfng the
law. He said it was an unveiled at.
tempt to 'coerce Florida" into en-.
acting an inheritance tax law, pro-
hibited under its Constitution.
Peter o. Knight of counsel for the
State insisted that Florida had an
individual grievance which the court
was bound to hear.

'SHUT-|NS ENABLED
/. TO RENDER THANKS
Liberal Provisions for Din
ners Tomorrow at Local In
stitutions, Including Jail.

Tomorrow will be a big Thanksgiv-
ing at Jail. az we'll as nine other local
institutions under the guidance OF the
Board of Public Welfare.
Yesterday just a ton and a quarter
of fresh pork-which not so long ago
had been contented sucklings and
shoats roaming about the airy pens at
Occoquan and Lorton-arrived in
town for distribution to these institu-
tions. 1t was the Thanksgiving gift
of Capt. NJ. NJ. Barnard. superinfend-
ent OF the penal institutions of Wash
ington. and will augment the regular
fare which otherwise would be Sub
stantial. but not over plentiful.
Institutions Benefited.
The institutions benefiting from the
mammoth hog g-killing staged down the
river few days ago include the Ma
tional Training Schools for Girls. at
Muirkirk. Md, and on Conduit Road;
the Gallinger Hospital, tuberculosis
Hospital. the District of Columbia
Training School for the Feeble Minded
at Annapolis Junction, Md; the In
dustrial Home Schools for white and
for colored. the Municipal Lodging
House and the Soldiers and Sailors
Temporary Home. And, of course, the
Jail.
At only two Of these institutions.
however, will turkey be on the menu
-Gallinger Hospital and Tubercu-
losis Hospital. Chicken will be served
at some of the places. but it Is assured
that roast pig will be at all Of them.
Great Year for Pigs.
1t has been great year for pigs
at the Lorton sites. They have waxed
fat and contented. They have in
creased and multiplied. And the re-
suit Is that this surplus has become
sufficiently large to allow distribution
to the institutions listed.
Not only pork by the ton nut apples
by the barrel are being distributed
More than ESQ bushels of apples also
have been turned over to the board Of
public welfare by Capt. Barnard. And
through his efforts and the efforts of
George s. Wilson. director Of the pub
lie welfare board. Thanksgiving this
year will be an occa sion for bit more
thanks than some Of the previous ones
in this jurisdiction.
Feast for 497 Jail Inmates.

sit down to a feast of roast pork, gravy.
mashed potatoes. turnips, cranberries.
