Sellers and Dealers In Real Estate
Had Better Watch Their Step.

G.. L. Donald, Collector of Intern
al Revenue has given notice that an
examination of the Chancery Clerks
records of sales of real estate in
1919 is to be made and if property
was sold for more than its market
value March 1, 1913, or more than
its cost if purchased subsequent to
that date, such excess must be re-
turned as income in 1919. 1t is i'm
material whether call cash" was re-
ceived or not. Income a be cash
or its equivalent. If you accepted
part cash, gave a warranty deed, and
received notes, secured by a deed of
trust on the property for the bal
ance, all the profit must be returned
in the year in which the deal was
closed.
Many property owners sold their
homes in 1919 at a big advance over
a fair market value March 1, 1918,
Ior its subsequent cost. All excess is
income.
If the current reports are true,
dealers in farm lands in certain Sec
lions of the state are making dates
with Collector Donald to see what
part Of their profits belong to Uncle
Sam.
Several ex-chancery Clerks of the
state have been appointed deputy
collectors to hunt up income tax
dodgers" in real estate trades.
The "still hunt" for dodgers" will
not start until the last day of grace
is up. Better be wise and make a
return and include all profit before
March 18th and save a heavy, sure,
and certain penalty.

The St. Louis Court of Appeals re-
Gently affirmed a decision rendered
by Judge Ernest CAN'T in the Aud
rain county circuit court in 1917.
Judge Gantt's decision was in favor
of the in~terpleader, the Farmers and
Merchants Bank Of Vandalia, in the
case Of l.. w. Roberts VS.. j.. r.
Hodges.
The case attracted much attention
in legal circles because of the many
complications which it involved. The
circuit court had previously awarded
L. W. Roberts a Judgment in a suit
against Hodges. When Roberts tried
to collect the money it was necessary
to get it from the garnishees, the
Vandalia Banking Association. The
Farmers and Merchants Bank inter-
pleaded in the case, claiming to be
Hodges landlord, and claimed the
money deposited to his credit in the
Vandalia Banking Association.
Judge CAN'T rendered a decision in
favor Of the Farmers and Merchants
Bank. The case was appealed to the
st. Louis Court of Appeals and in
its recent session, that court uphold
the decision of Judge CAN'T.

NO WET PLANK
IN DEMOCRATIC
PLATFORM NOW

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3d.
There will be no Wet plank in the
Democratic platform. This was de-
cided late Tuesday afternoon when
such a plank was rejected by the
committee drafting the platform by
a vote at a ratio of two to one.
The nominating speeches began
late this afternoon. The administra-
ton forces are in the ~ascendancy and
have a, tight rein on the situation.
This seems ~eminently satisfactory TO
a large majority of the delegates
present.
Marshall and Davis are said to be
the leading dark horses though Nc
AdoO, according to many, will I'M
questionably receive the nomination.
President Wilson has not signitied to
the convention any preference on his
part toward any of the candidates.
The Missouri delegation is reported
as having sixteen votes for McAadoo,
eve and a half for Cox, two for
Clark, six and a half for Palmer and
three that are doubtful. However
this is only a forecast.
The barring of Senator Reed from
the convention as a delegate was re-
ceived amid wild cheers and he has
finally accepted his defeat. He and
Mrs. Reed will attend the remainder
of the convention seated among the
visitors.
Samuel Gompers in IAN interview
states the Democratic party can only
secure the Labor vote by placing a
plank in their platform friendly to
