EXCESS OF IMPORTS
ALARMS BANKERS
Long Time Seen in Wiping Out
Credits Piling Up for Past
Ten Years.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 16.-Stock bond
and commodity markets seemed to he
marking time this week pending
more definite indications of the trend
of business this fall.
Bankers call attention TO the fact
that even if the excess of imports
should continue at the rate Of the
last three months il would be a long
time before the credits piled up in
the last ten years would be wiped
out. The excess of exports in the ten
years 1sl3-1922 amounts to nearly
S22.OOo.O00.000. America also holds
four billions in monetary gold, or
half of the worlds supply.
Market observers agree that a salts
factory settlement of the German
reparatlons problems. which once
more nave come within the realm of
possibility, would have a highly bene-
hcial effect upon both business and
securities prices. Meanwhile German
marks continue their course toward
the vanishing point, establishing a
new low record today of O0OsIs cents
as against .0012 week ago.

TAXES TO Be CHECKED

Investigations conducted by field
deputies of the internal revenue
service indicate that hundreds of tax
payers in the district of Nevada have
neglected, Intentionally or otherwise,

1921 and 1929. profits realized from.
the sale of real estate, according to
Collector Spellier, who several weeks
| ago ordered a rigid probe to be made
| of suspected evasions of income regu-
lations.
In order to close ur the govern
ment tax net the collector has or
dered that a transcript be made of
all doubtful transfers. A careful in
vestigation will be made of all these
files to determine whether or not the
sales involved have been reported
upon the income tax returns. Col
! lector Spellier suggested that all per-
sons who failed to include the profit
realized from real estate sales call
at his office, OF file amended returns,
as it is the policy of the revenue de-
partment not to assert heavy penal.
ties when the disclosure of failure to
include income are voluntarily made
by Taxpayers.
1T is my belief that the failure of
many taxpayers to include real es-
tate profits in their returns was due
to an erroneous Interpretation of the
income tax laws, and to misleading
publicity that was given out prior to
the ruling of the United States SUI
preme court, holding that such gains
were taxable income under the rev.
enue laws" collector Spellier stated.
In cases where the taxpayer does
not voluntarily disclose items OF in
come that were omitted, and where
the gains from real estate sales have
not been reported, the collector said
that it would be necessary to assert
full penalties from all returns where
the investigation disclosed the fail
ure of the taxpayer to include real
estate gains in his income tax re-
turns.

SPORTSMENS ROAD
IS BENEFIT TO ELY

Thus far wholly at the expense of
the sportsmen of this vicinity the
business interests of Ely arc receiv-
ing a great benefit in the form of re-
pairs to the road between here and
Bothwick, which is a part of the
further repairs to Ruby valley. In
cidentally it benefits the ranchers of
Bothwick, but Ely is the greater
beneficiary.
In several places between Hercules
gap and the Hogan ranch there were
siding places where a car would al
most tip over. These have been
filled and are in good shape.
The worst place was a piece of
rocky road between the bottom of the
gulch and the Hogan gate, which was
q mass of loose and partly loose
rocks of ali sizes, making it a des-
perate piece of business to try to get
q car over it, both for tires and the
greater danger of striking and do
ing injury underneath. These have
been removed, and while the road is
not yet a racetrack it is so much

, that those who were compelled to
use it before are the ones who best
appreciate it.
The ranchers living in that settle
ment have a kindly feeling for the
sportsmen who put up this morey
and had the work done.
There is a request before the coun.
ty commissioners, reaching them
through Game Warden A. c. Powell
and others, for the county to share
the cost with the sportsmen out as
far as the Bradley place, but it has
! not been acted upon as yet.

STANDING WATER IN
ROAD BOTHERS CARS

The several heavy rams that have
come with remarkable regularity
during the past few weeks have the
effect of leaving a great deal of
standing water on the roads. the IN
graded country ones especially. Dur
ing the past week the undraiLed
places on these roads IN every direc-
ton from here have been a source
of considerable annoyance to auto
drivers.
The worst difficulty is the splash
ing water dampening and shorting
the electric wiring and the timing
apparatus of cars, and causing them
to back-fre and quit until dried off,
or until they dry themselves enough
through waiting for that to happen.
Out in the various fats such water
stands on the tracks for distances of
a few feet to more than 100 yards in
places, and where it is possible to do
so drivers turn out slightly and
avoid them. Put that cannot always
be done, and in that case the next
best thing Is to drive through them
as slowly as possible to keep the
water from splashing as high as the
coil boxes, etc.
That comprises one of the main
objections to country roads as COM
pared with graded ones, as it is most
difficult to keep both tracks clear o!
such standing water, even If it were
convenient to keep one Of them clear
