TAXING THE DI KE
HOSPITAL FUND
Ozrlotte News.
Governor McLean of North Car
olina and Governor McLeod of South
Carolina expect to carry to Congress,
the latter part of this week, the pro
tests of two Commonwealths against
allowing the Government to lay an
inheritance levy- against tht -state
of the late J. B. Duke which gw-.., to
the hospitalization program under
tile terms of the Duke Endowment.
The specific apportionments to
the hospital work of the Endowment
is non-taxable by the Government,
of course, bat it seems that another
large segment of the wealth of Mr.
Duke, covered in his will as "the
residuary legacy” for this same hos
pital fund conics within the range of
the Government's inheritance taxa
tion system.
The will, after providing for Mrs.
Duke the little girl and a score or so
of servants as well as additional be
quests to the Duke Endowment
Fund, then directed that the residue
of the estate, after taxes and costs of
administration had been deducted, be
applied to the hospital section of the
Endowment with a clause directing
10 per cent of this same residue to
go to the Duke University.
It is not now known what this |
residue of his estate will be. It may, I
however, be in the millions when the I
work of appraisal of the wealtu of I
the benefactor shall have been finish

The state made a very succesafnl
experiment last year, 1923, with oil
niiich was used on various stretches
scattered over the state. The oil,
which looks exactly like a hard sur
face of black concrete or other hard
construction, has been used on the
secondary roads. Governor., McLean
believes the salvation of the state
may be fouiql herein. He does not!
think it would do the job on No. 10.
but he sees many other numbers which ,
it will serve.
ed.
It was stated at the time of the
death of Mr. Duke that his estate
was worth approximately $130,000.-
000. but other estimate have made it
twice that and Mr- Duke himself, it
was said during the latter years of
his life had no very definite concep
tion of what he was worth.
It is claimed by The News nnd
Observer that unlem the efforts of
the two Governors are availing to
get Congress to ejompt this estate
from inheritance taxes, it will coat
the hospital section of the Endow
ment $10,000,000.
It is inconceivable that the Gov
ernment will abide by the strict in
terpretation of the law in this par
ticular and reek to collect a fund of
this size from an estate that in
herently now* belongs to the great
family of the sick of the Carolinns,
ami to none else.
The Governor does not need money
so dadly ’as that aud it ought, there
fore. cheerfully to grant the request
for whatever action is deemed neces
sary in the premises to see to it that
this fund is non-taxable in Washing
ton.
