He shall certify such assessment to the collector, who shall immediately demand payment of such tax, and, upon the neglect or refusal of payment by such manufacturer or producer, shall proceed to collect the same in the manner provided for the collection of other assessed taxes. This is a reenactment, without change, of Sec. 3437 R. S. The act of July 14, 1870, repealed the internal revenue taxes on legacies and successions. The repeal took effect on and after October 1, 1870; but Sec. 17 of the repealing act saved "all taxes properly assessed, or liable to be assessed, or accruing under the provisions of former acts." It was in consequence of this saving clause, probably, that the laws relating to this subject were reproduced in condensed form in the Revised Statutes of 1873. As the Supreme Court has decided that no tax is due on successions to which the successors became entitled in possession since October 1, 1870 (Clapp v. Mason, 94 U. S. 589), and that legacies are not taxable under those laws which were payable after October 1, 1870 (Mason v. Sargent, 104 U. S. 689), it is believed this chapter is now wholly obsolete. It is to be noted, however, that the income tax act of August 28, 1894, Sec. 28, requires a return of "money and the value of all personal property acquired by gift or inheritance," which is a virtual imposition of a tax on legacies and distributive shares of personal property.
