(1LAIM8 #21,000,000 TAX
PITTSBURGH,. {JP)—The supreme
court held Pennsylvania entitled
to collect 121,000,000 inheritance
tax from the estate of Dr. John T.
Dorrance, creator of the Campbell
Soup Company.
The court decided Dr. Dorrance
was a resident of Radnor, Pennsyl
vania, at the time of his death
on September 20, 1930 in Burling
ton county, New Jersey. The de
cision reversed the findings of the
Delaware county orphans’ court,
which upheld the executors’ conten
tion that the financier was a resi
dent of New Jersey.
Dr. Dorrance’s estate was various
ly valued at a hundred and twelve
million to two hundred million dol
lars. The supreme court’s decision
set its valuation at $115,000,000.

Although the will wa3 probated
in Burlington county, in October,
1930, the Delaware county, Pen
nsylvania, register of wills, 3ix -
months later, appraised the estate
and fixed its value at two hundred
million dollars. It computed the
state' tax at $31,462,200. Dorrance
exeetora protested the claim. They
held that Dr. Dorrance was a resi
dent of New Jersey at the time
of his death, that his real or tang
ible property In Pennsylvania would
not erceed ten million dollars and
that under a reciprocity treaty be
tween the two states stock held
by Dr. Dorrance was relieved from
the Inheritance tax. They also put
a value on the estate at $112,000,- *
000 and said a tax ranging from
twelve million to seventeen mil
lion dollars was due New Jersey.
Almost everyone has taken a sur
vey of a poorhouse and wondered
what brought its Inmates there
Bad habits perhaps, plain . hard
luck in some’ instances; in oth
