 hoped that this arrangement could be made. This investigation must Do on, and l am willing and ready to rende2' all of the assistance within my power

SECURES REVERSAL
 OF STAMP RULING
NO TAX ON MORTGAGES
CLERK LEDBETTER'S PERSIST ENCE REWARDED BY U. s.
 TREASURY DEPARTMENT.

To the persistence of Circuit Clerk A. M. Ledbetter is due the reversal of ruling by the United States Treas ury department that 25-cent stamp must be attached to each real estate and chattel mortgage of the form gen erally used in this state, under the terms of the war revenue act which became effective December 1. Advice that the ruling had been reconsidered and reversed was received by Mr. Led better this morning.
 The revenue act specifically provides that no tax shall be required on any instrument to secure a debt, but cer- tain minor officials of the revenue de. partment had made ruling that the power of sale clause contained in the instruments used in this state was ir effect power of attorney and that a tax of 25 cents was required on this the opinion that the ruling was an in. correct one and after writing five let. ters to the department and receiving the same answer, finally wrote to Act ing Commissioner David A. Gates former state tax commissioner of Ar. kansas, asking that he give personal consideration to the matter This morning he received the following ir reply to his letter to Mr. Gates:
 Washington, May 3, 1915. "A. M. Ledbetter, Esq, Clerk, Circuit
 and Chancery Courts, Faulkner
 County Conway, Arkansas.
 Sir: Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of the 29th ultimo, ad- dressed to Deputy Commissioner Gates, referring to your two previous letters, and enclosing copy of mort gage in which there is embodied a power of sale clause, which, under the rulin gmade in paragraph of treas ury decision PISA, is held taxable as a power of attorney, at the rate of 25 cents.
 "In reply, you are advised that this office has reconsidered the above rul- ing, and has decided that the power of sale generally embodied in mort gage, real or chattel, and deed of trust, differs from power of attor- ney in many respects, one of which is that the latter always creates an agcn- cy or a representative relation, where as mortgagee under power of sale acts on his own behalf and for his own benefit.
 1t is, therefore, now held that such pow CT of sale is not taxable as a pow CT of attorney within the meaning of the act of October 22, 1914, and all rulings inconsistent herewith are hereby revoked.
 Respectfully,
 "W. H. Osborne, Commissioner
 Clerk Ledbetter stated today that an average of about 4,000 real and chattel mortgages are filed or recorded each year in his office. The reversal of the treasury ruling will mean therefore an annual saving of about $1 ,000 to the people of the county and at least $50,000 to the state.
 The letter received by MT. Ledbet- ter bears the 70. K" initials of four revenue officials, including those of MT. Gates.
