TEXAS LOSES GREEN ESTATE TAX
MaaaaehuaeUs, and not Texas, was the legal dotni*

Court decided this week Texas, Florida, New York
and Maaaaehuaetta all laid claim to the right to tax
the tMjDOOJMX) estate of the eccentric millionaire, and
seate had good reasons for their claims. Texas' claim
was supported by numerous acta of Green, who al-
ways maintained that Texas was his legal residence,
although he hadn't lived in Texas for 35 years prior
to his death
Texas made a determined effort to uphold its
rtgM to collect a tax of 94.685,000 from the Green
eatate. but the Supreme Court ruling seems to set-
tle definitely that a man's legal residence is where
be lives and maintains a residence moat of the time,
rather than where he claims his home to be. The
opinion that Green tried to maintain legal residence

caaM of lower taxes, apparently had something to
do with the court's rejection of Texas' plea.

treasury, now running about 95.000.000 further in

Coned©—Reflection
Of Three Nations
POLITICALLY, the dominion of
* Canada is attached to the
British Empire, and so King
George VI and Queen Elizabeth
Will visit the vast, sprawling North
American possession this year.
But the Canada they will see will
be no more British than it is
American, no more American than
it is provincial French.
In fact, the Canada the king
and queen will see smacks more
of the United States than any-
thing in the British Empire, for
despite its loyalty to the Union
Jack, the Dominion is essentially
North American in expression.
Geographically, the United States
and Canada arc almost the same,
the customs are identical, the
method of work in factory and
office is alike and even the
amusements fall in the same'class-
radio, sports, movies.
The French influence shows
sharply, of course,, in old Quebec,
the battleground of Montcalm and
Wolf Even the language is dom-
inantly French The U. S. influ-
ence shows in every city across
the Dominion, except for Ottawa.
There the halls of Parliament and
other government buildings re-
flect Westminster itself. Situated
on beautiful Parliament hill in
the Dominion capital, these
structures represent perhaps the
only outward tie of Canada to the,
mother country
