Beals, began suit in the supreme court of Wisconsin to test the constitutionality of the state inheritance tax law. 4 If the suit is successful, it will mean that the state will, if it follows rules of equity, have to return to different estates over $1,000,000 which it has collected under the law since the statute was enacted five years ago.
