Wheeler v. Sohmer

Mr. Justice Lamar,

dissenting.

I concur in Mr. Justice McKenna’s analysis of Buck v. Beach and the other cases, but am of the opinion that the principle there decided, applies as well to inheritance and *447transfer taxes on notes as to direct taxes and that, therefore, the judgment in the present case should be reversed.

I am authorized to say that The Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Van Devanter concur in' this dissent.
