WHO PAYS THE TAXES?

Is the government going to be
able to collect all the income tax
which is due it from the numerous
big profits being made in real estate
in Iowa this year? III so there will
be need of vast amount of high
class accounting.
That there are all sorts of profits
being made which will entirely es-
cape taxation by reason of the way
the transfers are manipulated, is
the statement of some who have
been looking into the situation.
Here is an illustrations: "A"
sells a farm to "B" for 100000, the
sale being on contract. "B" sells
the farm to &c" for S25, 900 by as
signing the contract; &C" in turn
sells to ID" for $4,000 and has
"a deed direct TO 3D."
According to the records as
shown by the deed "a has sold his
farm to I'D" at a profit of $4,000.
There is nothing to show that "B'
and &c" each made a profit of So
900 and that the only profit "a"
made was the difference between
$40, 900 and the original cost of the
farm. But though the records
would indicate "A" made a profit of
$4,000 when he decided to ID" as
fact he made nothing of the kind.
He would be required to pay the
tax on $4,000, however, because
the government will take the deed
and its given consideration as the
basis of computation. In the
meantime "B" and &C" who really
made a profit. will pay no tax unless
they see At to report their profit,
Figure II out for Yourself.

PRACTICAL JOKE PROVES
TO BE SERIOUS AFFAIR

William Weise, a young farmer
living near Manson, Calhoun county
is the victim of an alleged joke
played upon him recently one
dark night. Somebody suspended
a dummy robed in white in front of
his door and when Mr.. Weise an
swered the knock on the door he
was confronted by the ghost" The
dummy was mechanically operated
by strings by some one who must
have been in the close vicinity of
the door. When Weise appeared
at the door, the dummy extended a
hand and the head moved. At the
gruesome sight before him, the man
stood in mute horror, finally going
into a CONFUSION from which he did
not recover for seevral hours. The
next day Weise had another convul-
sion of similar nature. Medical
assistance was called in.They could
do nothing. He went to Rochester,
Mimi, to consult with specialists,
and they sent him away without
giving him any relief. Every day
since the fatal day when the dunn
my appeared he has been taken with
commissions, coming toward even
ing, when he always can see that
CHASTITY sight of the hand extended
and the mocking head moving up
and down. In the meantime the
practical joker hasn't been located.

COUNTY LAND
VALUES DECREASED
BUT THERE ARE A NUMBER or
BIG INCREASES IN OTHER
ASSESSABLE PROPERTY

The executive council at a recent
meeting in Des Moines met to ad-
Just the valuations of assessable
property, and while it considered
Audubon county land well worth
the present assessment of $94.69 yet
in equalizing the assessed valuation
the council ordered a decrease of 5
percent according to word sent to
County Auditor w. j. Hamilton.
Although land still remains at a
tax value which is considered alb
surdly low in the face of the great
advance in the selling price over
last year, the assessed valuations on
some kinds of live stock has taken
a big jump. The greatest increase
in valuations is that of cows,
which receive an increase TO 81 per
cent. Steers three years old re-
ceived a boost of So percent while
sheep six month old are raised 36
per cent over last year.
Colts one and two years old re-
main the same while horses are
raised but two per cent. The as
sessed valuation of town lots is also
left unchanged.
A summary of the executive
councils equalization increases for
Audubon county is as follows:

ABOUT LOWER PRICES

The reader should not build too
high hopes on the decrease Of the
cost of foods. That there Is pro-
fiteering there is no doubt. But
where the demand for anything is
great the price is bound to be high.
Europe is drained to the dregs
in almost everything. Much Of the
land has been made unfit for culti-
walton. Millions of producers
have been killed and millions of 9th
ers seriously disabled. Herds of
cattle, swine and sfleep have been
greatly depleted. Railways are run
down, shipping reduced below ac-
tual needs, and it's going to require
years for the war ravaged continent
to become anywhere near self sup
porting as to foods. The United
States will have to supply much of
the continents needs, and with such
demands high prices are sure to ex-
list. The only way we could lower
prices to any considerable extent
would be to put an embargo on the
expectation of our foods. That
would reduce the cost of wheat and
hogs and cattle materially and like
wise of -four and meats and other
foods. But does anybody want to
apply such a remedy? Agriculture
would become partially paralyized,
so would every other business.
Certain statesmen think that the
bond issue has given us too much
money and that a great volume of
our currency should be called in.
That would increase the value of
money-it would buy more, but
such action might cause a business
collapse il sprung on the country
suddenly as did resumption in re.
