Inheritance Tax Aims to Bring in Big State Revenue
South Dakota expects about 150 000 dollars from inheritance taxes under new commission control. Lincoln county court in Canton opened proceedings to tax 580 000 from William Deering’s Rock Island estate, with roughly 3 million dollars in South Dakota real estate mortgages. Provisions may also pursue taxes on Richard Sears estate, founder of Sears Roebuck, who held about 360 000 in state municipal bonds.
