REVENUE ACT CONSTRUED.
When Memorandums of Sales of Grain
Are Exempt from Tax.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Reconnaissance
Yerkes. OF the Internal Revenue Bureau,
has received a letter from d grain COM
pany in the Northwest asking whether the
memorandum of sales of farmers products
on az exchange or Board of Trade are ex-
cnpt from tax by the amendment to Para
graph 2 of Schedule a of the amended war
revenue act of March ., 1901. The writer
assumes that it never was the intention Of
the law that farmers and others selling
actual grain should pay a tax. and that it
applies only to those who sell futures
without ever intending their delivery. The
v ritter refers especially TO sales of grain
Ito arrive and states that he is constant
~ making sales for farmers on the Duluth
Board of Trade, which he thinks should
be exempt from tax. In reply the commits
sioner rules that grain sold on a Board
OF Trade or exchange ito arrive may be
exempt from tax if at the time Of sale the
grain is on a vessel. beat or car and in
actual course of transportation. but If the
sale is made before the grain has been
shipped. or if the grain has arrived at it's
destination, the exemption does not apply.
II order to determine the fact whether
n erchandise SOLD is actually in course of
transportation ct the time of sale, a bill
OF lading is iHdispens2 bly, necessary. In case
a bill of lading cannot be conveniently FUR
nished to the memorandum Of
sale. a certified copy may be used instead of
the original.

Mr.. Phillips was seen tonight and con-

Bauman held $500 WORTH" said Mr..
Phillips. Both specialized and lost the

They put their stock into the treasury TO
square their accounts, being unwilling or
