Tlio now' collateral Inheritance tax la passed by the Iowa legislature at the In : regular session Is being attacked In tli district court here The case on trial la a application for an Injunction to rcstral State Treasurer Harriott from collecting tl C per cent tax duo under the law from th estate of the late Frank C. Stewart , farmer living near Carson , who died Set tember 11 , 1SDC , leaving an estate amoun Ing to about $00,000 , consisting of 1,4C ncics of land In the vicinity and other rei estate and personal property. S. C. Ganif bell , cashier of the Carson bank , was mad executor. When the will ivas probated ! was found that thcro were no direct holt and that the estate had been divided amen a number of nephews nnd nieces and a nun : ber ot people of no blood relationship to th testator. Tlio Inheritance tax law went Int effect Just about a month before Stewat died. .After the will had been properly prc bated and reported to the state treasure the state gave notice that It would elalr the 5 per cent tax , which the law provide must bo paid w Ithln lUtcon months from th date of probating the will. The time ha expired and thestnto wan about to seize th property , when the heirs biought the sull which Is entitled John Y. Kerrey am others upiinst the StateTteasurer. . The Inheritance lav law Is similar to tha In force in nineteen other states It pro vldea that In nil estates devised by wilt tethers t < others than the children , grandchildren o wife or husband of the testator , -where th Jaliio of the bequeathed property exceed $1,000 , 5 per cent of It must go to the state Inceptions are made of bequests to cliurchr ami charitable organisations. In the trla of this case It was expected that Attoine ; Hencial Ilcmley would be here to assist li the defense , but at the last moment In wrote to County Attorney Saundeis that 1 would bo Impossible for him to bo present The plaintiffs attack the law In what I1 admitted to bo a vulnerable place , Ha con travcntlon of the rights of the Indlvldua under the constitution of the United States us denned in article II. The plaintiffs clain that the law contravenes the rights of tin Individual for the reason that It makes IK provision for giving notice by the state treasurer of his Intention to collect the tn- or permitting the heirs to show by propc appraisement its real value. Under the lav the valuation is fixed arbitrarily by tin state from the information contained In tin schedule of the admlnlstiator. This may In defective or values may have changed sinci It was made. The state claims It has the right to tnlo the property without any notice and that tin statute litself contains all of the notice re uulrcd bv the Jiiclrs and administrators. Ii support of the contentions both sides cltei numerous state and federal supreme cour decisions , and the entire day was consume. . In hearing the arguments. The case v\n bubmltted and taken under advisement. Th amount of taxes involved approximate ? 2,50C but some debts that must bo paid from th estate will reduce It to $2,300. Tlv-e nro several other cases in th ! viclnltv of the same character and who" Iho amoun's involved are still largeOin case Is In Shelby county , waero the ostit < amounts to $100,000. Another case in th eastern ! part ot the state has been -willed ti collateral heirs which is so large that tin 5 nor cent tax will amount to over ? 25,000 The last report of the state treasurer show- that there have been returned In accordant with the icquircmcnts of the law fSl ca e- - subject to the tax.
