COLLECTIONS
OF Taxes, BY the State Tax
Department For Month
Are Large.

J. a ~.
Am excellent showing was made by
the State tax department during the
last month IN the COLLECTION of tax
es. From the collateral Inheritance
taxes and license taxes almost $780,
900 was turned into the state treas
ury.
The re-enactment of the license
laws concerning real estate agents
has caused considerable mlsunder-
standing throughout the state among
persons who have not had copy of
the new law. However, the new law
is specific and provides as follows:
The term real estate agent shall
include any person or corporation
that, for commission. compensa-
ton, or reward, is engaged in the
selling Of. pr who negotiates sales of
real estate belonging to another or
Others, or obtains or places loans for
Others on real estate. or advertises
for, sale or soiicits the sale of. real es-
tate belonging to another or others,
or collects rents. attendst o the letting
and sales of houses and loans.
& Under the old law only those per-
sons who were engaged in the real
estate business paid license tax, but
under the new enactment those who
negotiate for sale or advertise a real
estate business must pay a license tax.

The Sherman Act.

One of the most important arti-
cles in the current number OF the
North American Review is a paper
entitled "Mr. Taft and the Sherman
Act" by Thomas Thacher of the
New York York bar. 1t is every
where admitted that experience in
the application of the Sherman Act
to affairs has proved the necessity of
certain cardinal changes in its pro-
Visions. Some OF the wisest and
most adequate suggestions in that
direction have been made in certain
public utterances by President Taft,
and Mr.. Thacher in his article ana
lyzes these suggestions and urges
them upon Congress, as indicating
the nature OF the changes that
should be made in the law. The
aim OF any revision of the, Law
which may he attempted should be
to make competition free in the in
terest of consumers, and to restrain
competition in the interest OF the
weaker among competing producers
and traders. Mr.. Thacher says:
1T is submitted that the first
question to be put in the proposed
inquiry is. whether 'monopolizing,
given a somewhat broad meaning,
does not cover all OF evil against
which the Act should operate. That
word is of indefinite meaning. 1t
includes some things which certainly
should not he condemned. some
which have been held not to be
within the Act as 1t is. 1t will need
to be defined; the various things in
cluded must be classified, as de-
nounced or not denounced; and the
classification may perhaps be based
to some extent on the methods by
which, or the intention OF which,
power to monpoltze shall have been
acquired. But It is not true that
whatever of evil the Act was intend
ed to reach. and whatever it should
be made to reach when amended,
is included in what was meant to be
expressed in the second section by
the word 'monopolize'? To put It
in another way, If the evil of mo-
nopolizlng,'' as SO meant, were done
away with. would there be any &C.
casion for continuing the Sherman
Act on the statnte-book? Or to put
it more practically. perhaps. should
not the second section of the Act be
taken as the. basis OF. the amended
Act. and the first section he thrown
aside. except so far as may aid in de-
lining or limiting the evil of mo
nopolizing'?"
