be the basis of the Supreme Courts final de-
cison in the controversy which has ragged
since Colonel Green's death in 1886
The Supreme Court was brought into the
caSe-one of the great legal battles of the
decade-when Texas, claiming that Green re-
sided in that State, sued for determination
of the right to tax.
A selection was made necessary because the
Federal estate tax of ST., 987-which has
been paid-plus the claims of the four States,
amounted to $1,589,877 more than the estate.

lands political winds appeared to
day to have blown the proposed
State income tax out into the At
lantic.
Early in the year it was re
garded as the only possible solu
ton of the States continuing de
ficit, now that gasoline tax rev
enues no longer may be diverted
to general governmental purposes.
O'CONOR'S PLANK
Attorney General O'Conor put
the income tax in his platform as
a candidate for governor and
talked freely about it up to 6
month ago. Governor Nice &C
cepted it until the campaign got
under way, then ignored it.
What is accepted in Baltimore
as the explanation for O'Conor'S
sudden silence on the subject,
Notwithstanding general state
ments in campaign speeches that
he "has a tax program which you
will find in my platform, is
found in the attitude Of his chief
hackers.
HITS TAX
The Baltimore newspaper which
Is the backbone Of his campaign

torially a short time ago against
adoption of the income tax now" !"
And Howard Bruce, a new boss
Of the Democratic party in Mary
land, banker and director of the
newspaper, would be one of the
chief contributors if an income
tax were adopted, based on the
principle of ability to pay-as
O'Conor proposed.
PRESSURE STRONG
Apparently the pressure on
IO'Conor from these quarters was
sufficient to cause him to soft
pedal.
AS Maryland's administrative
costs have been held down better
than those of most States in re-
cent years, the alternative for
the next four years, If the income
tax program should be Sidetracked
would be either to borrow to meet
the deficits or halt capital ex-
