THE BEE: OMAHA, SATUKUAY, AlAKUrt ID,
Court Decides
Against U. S. In
Income Tax Suit
Judge Rules Federal Revenue
May Be Deducted on
Estates Which Exceed
Total of $50,000.
Washington, March 17. The fed
ral government today lost an im
nortant income tax suit when the
','nited States court of claims held
hat every estate, the net amount oi
hich exceeds $50,000 and which has
lcen, or is hereafter compelled to
,ay the federal estates tax, is en
itlcd to deduct the amount so paid
"join its income tax return.
The effect of he decision, should
. he sustained by the court , to
ivhich the government noted an ap
peal, will he that the government
will be Compelled to refund all taxes
ilready eolected from estates under
jiirh circumstances.
The court awarded a judgment for
!lo5,075 in a suit to reverse the ac
tion of the commissioner of inter
nal revenue in refusing to allow, as a
deduction under the income tax law.
:he sum of $489,834 paid as federal
rstates tax.
The decision in the case was based
rut the construction of section 214
of the revenue act of 1918, which
provides that "in computing the net
income there shall be allowed, as
deductions, taxes paid or accrued
within the taxable period imposed
by the authority of the United
States, except income, war profits
and excess profits taxes," the con
struction of thp commissioner of in
xrnal revenue being that the amount
.-said under the estates tax law was
i.ot a tax which could be deducted,
but "a toll taken from the property
transferred."
Judge Declares War
Against Persons Who
Admit Illegal Acts
New Ybrk, March 18. Asserting
t hat the "public press is filled with
sickening accounts of domestic infi
delity of persons claiming high posi
tions in society," District Attorney
Lewis of Kings county gave warning
that hereafter he will institute crim
inal proceedings against a party to a
divorce action who admits a guilty
act committed in Kings county.
In a letter to Albany opposing a
bill which would prevent criminal
prosecution of guilty parties in di
vorce proceedings. Mr. Lewis de
clares: "One or two convictions with
penitentiary sentences, would have a
salutory effect upon these people.
It is really of no consequence to
the public, what they do in their pri
vate lives, but because of their prom
inence, their private affairs have a
news value and on that account the
public is burdened and very seriously
damaged by the prominence given by
the press to their offenses."
