REVENUE LAW RULING.


WASHINGTON. July 23.-In de-
cislon made today the commissioner Of
internal revenue holds that there is no
provision in the new revenue act under
which special tax can be held to be
imposed en- real estate agents. or on
any person or firm for simply buying
or selling real estate on commission,
either for themselves or for others:
also that the law is aimed at a class
of men known generally in the commu-
nifty as brokers. who (whether this is
their sole occupation. or is merely done
by them in connection with their other
business) negotiate purchases or sales
OF stocks. bonds notes. etc. either for
themselves or for others. The decision
holds that a fair construction of the
law does not make any man q broker
necessarily. who invests his surplus
earnings i'll stocks. bonds. notes, etc,
but does negotiate purchases or sales
thereof.
A man is a broker under this act"
It concludes. who negotiates sales Of
stocks bonds. notes. etc. interest OF
business: and this applies to real es-
tate agents. insurance agents. attor-
neys or any person or firm who. in
connection with their profession or oc-
cupation. make it Il regular part of
their business to negotiate purchases
OF stocks bonds. notes, etc, either for
themselves or for Others"
