Despite Later

TO SOLVE RIDDLES
Peculiar Conditions Develop

Sales.
TO SOLVE RIDDLES

The aftermath of the land boom a
couple of years ago is reflected in the
activities of the income fax depart
ment Of the internal revenue Office at
Washington. Many of the land deals
are not being completed, the buyer not
being able to meet the interest and
taxes. to say nothing of taking care of
The payments. This is causing the land
to revert to the original owner. In the
meantime the seller has .met the re-
quirements of the income tax prOvi-
sions and made payment on what he
presumed would be his profits in the
deal, predicating the value of the land
upon real estate values in 1913, which
are made the basis of income tax COM
pItations In ono case purchaser
paid $4,000 down and defaulted on in
terest, taxes and additional payments.
Now the seller takes the property back
but the government demands tax on the
$4,000 received. The seller comes
back with the plea that he will lose
several times that amount because of
the depreciation of the real estate
Such complications make grief for the
tax collector and require the judicial
opinion of experts in the department
at Washington.
The internal revenue officials in Iowa
are finding just how hard pressed a
coed many apparently wcll-tO-do peo-
pie are. because of the pleas they make
for an extension Of time in meeting
income tax payments. There are also
some surprises. One clerk in the de-
partment in Des MOines says that
scores of people bring in checks for
$4,000 or $4,000 and seem delighted
for the privilege of helping their gov
ernment The fellows who make the
nest noise over income fax payments
are those who have to contribute only
Il few dollars.
