1t is stated on good authority that
one-third of the former citizens will
have left Scio by April LIST, as induce
ments for selling out business and resi-
dences to newcomers have been great,
and thus a great change has been
wrought in the character of the town,
making it an undesirable place for
some. Criminals of all classes have
focked here, while gamblers and card
sharks are plentiful. Officers from
various cities are dropping in here oc-
casionally looking for men who are
wanted for crimes. The police force,
with Chief Boyd at their head, are able
to care for this class in this place. This
class has drifted here because of tales
of easy picking and of how much wealth
was pouring into the town.

STAMP TAX DECISION.
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Makes An Important Ruling.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Commissioner
Wilson of the internal revenue bureau
has decided an important question rel
alive to the taxability of the transfers
of mortgages. both chattel and real.
The question came up on a recent
decision by Judge Woolson of the
United States district court at Keokuk,
Ia, which refused to allow a mort
gage to be offered in evidence because
it was not stamped as a transfer. 1t
appears that the mortgage was given
to secure the payment of a note. which
note passed. by endorsement. through
several hands. Judge Woolson declined
to allow the mortgage to be introduced
in evidence, on the ground that it had
not been stamped for transfer.
Commissioner Wilson does not concur
with Judge Woolson, and takes the
view thai II the mortgage was stamped
when first given. il is not subject to
the stamp tax, as these transfers were
simply implied and not expressed. He
rules that congress intended only to
tax the express assignments and trans
fers or mortgages. and not those that
We're merely implied.
