Inheritance tax upheld in Georgia case
The Georgia state court, in its first of its kind ruling, held the inheritance tax constitutional. J J H Martin died in 1914 leaving a life estate to his widow and remainder to his daughter Elouise. Appointed appraiser Haskins assessed the estate at 16957.52 with taxes of 47.62 on the widow and 71.94 on the daughter, which were contested before injunctions. Justice Beck noted the widow was 70 and rejected constitutional challenges, ruling that estate uncertainty does not exempt tax and the act does not violate state or federal constitutions.
