} UPHOLD EXERPTION n Court of Claims Rules It Can Be Deducted From Re- turn on Incomes. Every estate the net amount of ‘which exceeds $50,000 and which has been or is hereafter compelled to pay the federal estates tax. is entitled to deduct the same from the income tax Teturn, the United States Court of Claims ruled yesterday. The case was decided against the federal govern- ment, which noted an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United State The ruling, should it be sustained b the higher court, would compel the government to refund all taxes al- ready collected and to allow in the future deductions from estate, in the future. The court awarded a judgment for $165.075 in favor of Senator Under- woed of Alabama, Alan H. Woodward @nd Reginald Barrister, as executors of Joseph H. Woodward, in a suit to reverse the action of the commission- «r of internal revenue in refusing to allow as a deduction under the i come tax law the sum of $459.534 paid by \the executors federal estates tax. Based on Act of 191S. The decision in the case was based on the uction of section 214 of the reven ct of 1918, which pro- vides that “in computing the net in- come there shall be allowed as dedul tions taxes paid or accrued within the taxable vear imposed by the autho ity of the Uniteq States except in- come, war profits and excess profits taxes,” the construction of the com- missioner of internal revenue being that the amount paid under the es- 1ates tax law was not a tax which «<ould be deducted. but a “toll taken from the property transferred.” | CITE LAW INEQUITIES. Pharmacists to Meet and Protest Dry Enforcement Policy. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are to meet at the Washington Hotel at¢ 2 o'clock Monday afternoon to dis-! cuss means of obtaining some relief from what they, regard as the in- equitable attitudé of the prohibition enforcement officers toward alcohelic medicines. Charles M. Woodruff, chaiffnan of the committee on legislation of the American Drug Manufacturers’ Asso- ciation, inf discussing the purpose of the coming meeting, pointed out that pharmacists, in compounding phy- sicians' preseriptions, are forced to} use alcohol. The druggist has mo means of determining whether the product is to be used for beverage purposes. 3 “The logical and equitable way of enforcing the law is by f ing out such purchasers and such sellers and not by classifying essential cinal preparations as intoxicating liquors and embarrassing their lawful sale nd use by rezulations so unworkaby- S to cause some maiufacturers to strike them off their lists, to the detriment «of the medical profession ‘who find them effective in curing the sick,” said Mr. Woodruff. “In fact, this conference is largely an outgrowth of the fact that the manufacture of these medicinal agents has been so curtailed in this way that the medical profession has OF ESTATE TAX THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Taylor, chief of the bureau of plant industry. ui der whose administration this show- the biggest ever held in all the world —is being conducted, was delighted with the interest taken by the chil- dren and the way they shouted in glee at the mass of vivid colors. Yesterday there were 15,286 visitors, including some of the most prominent government officials, leaders in social, diplomatic and professional life. This afternoon several hundred young women from Trinity College and Fairmont Academy are viewing the blooms. They came in five or six big bus loads. Some of them who are art students have been In- vited by Superintendent Byrnes to paint some of the seedlings, of which the department is especially proud. For the most part this was “chil- dren’s day,” and accompanied by teachers or parents the youngsters were making it a glorious holiday. A force of gardeners, under the di- rection of Henry F. Haase, the green- house decorator, will work tonight freshening up the show for the grand wind-up exhibition tomorrow. Officers of a number of national florist organizations who have come to the capital to see the amaryllis show have offered to use their organ- ized influence to impress upon Con- gress that Washington should be made a great flower center of the country, and that this can best be done by providing an up-to-date con- servatory. If this is provided the florista _and commercial _growers would be glad to hold their conven- tions_here and to co-operate with the Department of Agriculture in making the flower shows the great- est ever held anywhere. DELINQUENT TAX SALES. Collector” Reports About $150,000 Is Secured. Approximately $150,000 in delinquent taxes from last year has been collect- ed at the tax sale which closed today. Collector Chatham M. Towers esti- mated. If the final count shows this estimate to be correct it will be a substantial increase over last years sale. Persons whose property has been sold for taxes this week have two years from today in which to redeem by paying to the holder of the tax- sale certificate the amount of taxes he paid, plus the interest penalty. Tnder existing law the tax-sale buyers are entitled after two years to ask the Commissioners for deeds to the property on which they paid the taxes, which, in effect, clouds the title and must be cleared up whenever the original owner desires to sell. e e e BAKER DENIES CHARGE.
