A Trick of Land Agents.

1t is a common trick of real estate
agents to have inserted in the transfer
of land much higher price than was
really paid. This practice is common
one in every part of the West, but 1t
is likely to be a costly one If the state
tax commissioners take the published
transfers as a basis for fixing the value
of lands. OF the sales Of farms OF
which we have had personal knowl-
edge within the last wo years we
should set the number as at least so
per cent where the published price
was much greater than the one really
paid. We do not see what good this
does; 1t fools no one, for everybody
knows that the price given in the last
transfer is more than half the time a
fictitious one. Deception of this kind
does not pay.-Topeka Mail and
Breeze.
