decide the sum due the state as Inherit
ance tax.
This resulted in the matter being
argued before Judge Witt in Spokane
on August Is, Blackford & Blackboard
arguing the case and also submitting
a brief The tax and escheat division
submitted brief only. Messrs, Black
ford commended throughout the contro-
versy that state has legal right to col
lect inheritance tax only on the real
estate in its borders when that real
estate was owned by decedent who had
been resident in another state, and con-
tended that any other property such as
stocks and bonds and moneys in bank
could not be taxed when the decedent
owner was not resident of the state
where such property was held.
The Libby attorneys based their ar
guments upon three decisions of the
United States supreme court, rendered
in 1850, on cases coming up to the
court from Minnesota, Missouri and
South Carolina: In all three cases the
u. S. supreme court held that states
could collect inheritance tax only from
real estate within its borders, and
could not collect such tax against
stocks and bonds held within its bor-
ders but owned by decedent who had
resided in some other state. In render
ing these decisions the supreme court
reversed former decision in which it
had held that a state had the right
to collect inheritance tax against any
and all property within its borders.
! The result of the case was that
Judge Witt ruled in favof of the exc
cutor, to the effect that the only
amount the state could collect was $45,
or 10 per cent Of the value of the real
estate owned within the state, signal
victory for Blackboard & Blackboard and
saving OF a considerable sum to the
estate The Wall estate will be called
| upon to pay inheritance tax agains
these stocks and BONDS to the state 81
Montana, and the point Of law involved
in the decisions of the u. S. supren1
court is that no estate must be forced
to pay double taxation, which would
have to be done If two or more states
could collect inheritance tax from The
same stocks and bonds or similar prop
erty.

WORLD FAMOUS ROYAL Y
RUSSIAN CHORUS COMING!
Brilliant Treat For Our Music and
Dance Lovers.

DohtN LoNSiSs
Libby music and dance lovers will
be exceedingly interested in the an
nouncement that the famous Royal
Russian Chorus will give a concert
here on Wednesday, September %, at
the Junior High auditorium under the
auspices of the local schools.
The Royal Russian Choir is now
making its second trans-continental
tour, after series of triumphs in New
York, last year, where they were en-
gagged as a special feature for Morris
Gest's Productions of the Passion Play,
and Miracle Play, after having given
fifteen capacity concerts in Carnegie
Hall, New York City. During the past
season they have given over 200 con-
certs, playing everywhere.
Historic Company.
To those of us here, who have never
heard of this Choir, it might be men
toned that it is one of the oldest choral
organizations in the world: 1t was
first organized almost century ago,
in Russia, and has visited practically
every country in the world, under the
very able direction of Prince Dmitry
Slaviansky, founder of the Choir, and
his daughter, Princess Margarita Agre-
neva Slaviansky, present conductor.
1t has been said of them that they
are the "Undisputed Peers of Choral
HARMONY and one of the slogans
given them by a famous critic on the
Pacific Coast is, in all the World nc
Singers like these" Their programs are
extremely versatile, including brilliant
solo, duet, trio, and quartet and chora
singing, also fiery and characteristic
Russian, Hungarian and Spanish dane
ing, all performed in gorgeous cos
tunes. With special lighting effects
their programs are extremely colorful
and fast moving, with an unusual eye
and ear appeal to people of every class
This community is indeed fortunate II
being included in the itinerary of thi!
celebrated company, and no doubt ;
large audience will be on hand to gree
them at the Junior High auditorium or
Wednesday evening, September q.
i Miss Hostetter of the Libby facult,
had the privilege of hearing this Choil
during the summer and states it is ;
wonderful musical organization. In adj
dition to the excellence of its program
there is added interest in that the di
rector is a Russian princess.
