The internal revenue collectors have
decided that cattle commission men
come within the meaning of brokers
under the revenue law of 189S The
act provides for a tax of 50 a year up
on all brokers but the word has never
been defined and cattle commission
men have held that they were not brok
ers within the mtaniug of the law and
have never paid the tax The amount
involved amounts to 8000 at South
Omaha alone Perhaps the odious
war tax in times of peace will be re
moved feomelime during the twentieth
century
The republicans of Valentine and

Keally smart men grant to others the
right to differ with them in many
tilings and even respect and admire
