tlie accumulation of a large surplus , but
their admlnlstiatlon declined to avail it

Interstate commeice law prohibits the

Tlie supreme court of Massachusetts
has rendeicd a decision iillliiiilng the
constitutionality of the- collateral In
heritance tax law passed by the legis
lature of that state In 181)1. ) The law
\vas attacked on the giontid that the
state had no power to tax Inheritances ,
on the gtound that it coiittiivc-ncd Hie
state constitution calling for equal and
reasonable taxation , and on the ground
that It selected cettaln classes of prop
erty to bear an additional tax. Tlw
court held that tbo tax wag lu the na
ture of nil excise , tlie Imposition of
which was ojt { | } within the leglfdatlro

In amount nnd ludlscrlmlnntlnr : be
