TAX ON BAxKERs And BROKERS.

It was stated some weeks ago that the New
York brokers who had been assessed for q
heavy tax on their dealings in stock, &C., had
brought the matter before the Commissioner
Of Internal Revenue, and employed able counsel
to argue the questions involved. On Tuesday
Commissioner Delano decided that the brokers
should be taxed. The eresult is Of great interest
to business men in New York, and greatly
concerns the general public, since the commis'
sioner's decision brings to the Treasury about
$1O0, 900 per week from sources which never
paid the tax before. The decision is in the
cases Of Wood Reich, ct al, claiming to be
brokers and not bankers. and concludes as
f)llows:
It is claimed that Congress has con ceded
that persons who complete the transaction OF
sale by receiving and delivering stock are still
only brokers. Such an argument ls inappllca-
BILE to this question, until Y is shown how
Congress speaks OF persons as brokers who
have places Of business where they make it
their vocation to- effect such sales. This
section also speaks of contracts for sales, ne
gotiated on account OF others by persons who
are not even brokers, but this is no concession
that such persons may make 1t their business
to negotiate such contracts without becoming
liable to bs taxed as brokers.. Undoubtedly
it Is not every NEGOTIATION or contract that
would convert casual person.. into broker;
nor every sale delivery that would convert
broker into banker. II a broker has no
place OF business. or does not, in the contem-
plation OF the statute, make a practice Of re-
cannot well be re2ardsd ur y 1,ansor, and such
q sale made by him. is properly described as
sale made by broker. It was the object OF
this section to reach all sales and contracts for
sales made by one person on account Of another.
and not to furnish definition for terms already
defined. The rule that all parts OF q statute are
to be taken together in explaining the meaning
of each part is applicable only when there is
reasonable question about the meaning OF the
latter, and is wholly inapplicable to precise
definition. It may be added, however, with
reference to the meaning OF the term "negoti-
ate," as used in the 18th section, that the very
section appealed to enumerates sales made and
contracts for sales negotiated, and thus inn
plies definition OF term by its applicati on.
after q careful consideration OF the statute, I
am of the opinion that person whose busin ess
it is to negotiate purchases or sales Of sto cks
is q banker according to the meaning Of section
78, act of June 80. 1884. il he his place OF
business where he receives from others sto cks
whose sales he negotiates. or where money is
advanced or loaned on stocks.

rived. The institution Ia purely Southern. and hence
should appeal with great force to the patriotism and

'Tis not our purpose to make war on other COM

by this purely Southern company-founded en-
patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio OF assets to
nabilities-the true test Of company's Strengths
second to none on this continent, being nearly $500
to 500.
Whenever and wherever we have presented the
claims Of this Company it has not only enlisted the
sympathies of people, but has also secured their
hearty cooperation. We have secured SOD policies
in South Carolina since the 10th Of February. We
