DOUBLE PAYMENT
OF TAX PREVENTED
Board of Appeals Rules on
Change From ACCruaIS
to InStaIImentS.

What appears to be the first court
decision giving relief to owners of real
estate and dealers in real estate in ac-
cordance with changes incorporated In
the Federal revenue act of 1928 has
been made by the Board of Tax APP
peals in the case of the Grand River
Avenue Development Co. VS.. CommiS-
sioner of Internal Revenue, docket
3468l, 1t is stated by the National AS
Bociation of Real Estate Boards.
The decision is on a case involving
double taxation where taxpayer in re"
porting income from sales of real eS-
tate changes from an accrual to an in
stallment basis.
The action of the Board of Tax APP
paals was based on a retroactive sec"
fion Incorporated in the revenue act of
1923. The decision applies this retro
active section and relieves the taxpayer
Of the double payments.
Briefs Submitted.
In a series of briefs addressed to the
Treasury Department and to the joint
committee on internal revenue taxation
and later In hearings held by the COM
mitteeS of Congress at the time of
drafting the 1928 revenue act the Ma
tional Association Of Real Estate Boards
pointed out that taxpayer should not
be obliged to return in any taxable
year any inStallment payments which
he had returned and on which he had
paid the tax in some year prior to the
change of his method of accounting.
The retroactive provision, section
705 (a). introduced into the revenue
act of 1928 to rectify such possibility
of double taxation, provides that if any
taxpayer by an original return made
prior to February 26, 1925, changed the
method of reporting his net income for
the taxable year 1924 or any prior year
to the installment basis, then no de-
f1ciency of tax shall be determined with
respect to any such taxes unless the
taxpayer has underpaid his taxes for
such year computed by excluding
amounts received during such year on
account of sales made in any year prior
to the year in respect of which the
change was made.
Facts of Case.
In the case now passed upon by the
board of tax appeals the taxpayer was a
Michigan corporation. It sold subdivision
real estate in 1916 under land contracts
on liberal terms as to time of payment
and reported all profits therefrom in
that year on the completed-contract
basis and paid the tax Thereafter, be-
ginning with 1917. the taxpayer adopted
the inStallment basis for reporting its
income. On the audit of its returns
the commissioner increased the net in
come on account of profit realized in
the years 1923 and 1925 from the con-
tracts which were made in 1916 and
on which the entire income had been

INSISTS HOOVER
OIL MAGNATE
Sticks to Charge Nominee

BIZ United Press
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Oct. IL
Former Republican State Senator
H. G. Hansbrough, in a speech here
Wednesday night defied Henry j..
Allen, publicity director for the Re-
publican national committee, to pre-
vent him from reiterating charges
that Herbert Hoover owned west
foreign oil concessions"
Although Allen sent him a
telegram denying the charge and
demanding that he retract the
statements about Hoover, the for
mer State Senator again called up
on Hoover to retire from the presi-
Dental race, because he was
credited with ownership of vast
holdings in oil lands in Mexico and
Colombia"
Hansbrough said that the election
of Hoover might result in ''presi-
Dental Imperialism" since the Re-
publican candidate was said to own
1,787,00 acres of oil producing land
in Colombia and even larger hold
ings in Mexico"

HUMOR PROVES
U, S. Great HIT
TO JAPANESE
America on Top Looks
Down and Laughs, Ex-
plains Newspaper Man.

Don't turn up your nose in dis
gust the next time you hear some
wise-cracking mama" of the young
err school exchanging a few merry
jests, which to you seem senseless
and silly, with the boy friend.
You are hearing an example OF
the outstanding proof Of Americas
greatness, in the opinion of Kin
nosuke Adachi of New York City
American correspondent for a Toxic
newspaper who spoke today at the
Kiwanis Club luncheon at the Clay
pool.
For thirty years Adachi has lived
in this country. Since his gradua-
ton from an American college he
has worked on many American
newspapers, written many stories
and articles on Japan and the Far
East and travelled across the United
States many times.
And Americas sense of humor
the wiSe-cracks, he believes, is one
of the greatest evidences of Amer
ica's greatness.
"a sense Of humor presupposeS q
consciousness of greatness, and its
actual possession" said Adachi.
You must be up looking down tc
enjoy laughs. You can't laugh wher
your mind is torn with worries
troubles and smallness. And Amer
lea has it more than any other
country.
upper classes of other countries
have a sense Of humor, but II
doesn't reach down through al
