BROKERS MUST PAY THE TAX TrniiNiiotlonii In Huclcft KhniiH Must Contribute Their I'nrt lo Ilrreiine of Government. WASHINGTON , Juno 17. Commissioner Wilson of the Internal Revenue bureau has rendered a decision which haa been pending for a long time regarding the liability of bucket shop transactions to the stamp tax. The decision says : . By a bucket shop IB meant a place other than n board of trade or exchange whore the parties who agree to buy and sell htocko do not ordinarily contemplate the receiving or delivering of the certificates therefore by the buyer or seller either nt the tlmo or In the future. Such transactions in stocks are taxable. In the case of every agreement to Bell nt a bucket shop there Is both ft presumptive buyer nnd a presumptive seller nnd this is true whether the customer agrees to Boll stock to the manager of the place or the manager of the place agrees to sell stock to the customer. Where agreement of sale has been made nnd no delivery of stock takes place and the party holding the agreement of sale wishes to close the transaction by disposing of Ills Interest In * > ald agreement , nnd settles with the holder of the contract by paying the dcflcciicy price , In contemplation of law there is an agreement to resell the Kharex to thn original bdler. All these transactions must bo evidenced bv a written memorandum. It makes no difference whether thcpo agreements to sell stocks made at bucket shops nro called "Belling privileges" or "purchase privileges" or whether they nro railed by any other name , such contracts nro taxable the same as stock transactions on the stock exchange. Regarding the halo of grain and other products of mcrchadlsu at bucket shops , the commissioner. In view of the recent decision of the United States supreme court In re gard to the sales of mcrchamllbo ut a Ixiard of trade , exchange or any similar place , re vokes the previous decision that u bucket shop as ordinal ily conducted In a similar place to a board of trade or exchange. It IB understood that In the case of a bucket shop tlioro Is commonly only ono manager or firm who control all the sales and j.urclmsoa made at that particular placs , and where this Is tlio case no tax accrues on the sale ot grain or other merchandise made thereat. except where a broker's contract or memorandum of sale is Ibsned , when it must bo stamped with u 10-cent stamp. \ > llh Counterfeit .SIIIIIIH | | , MAYSVILLE , Ky. , Juno 17.

Swift , United Elates PoatofEca Inspector , HE ESTABLISHED THE AMERICAN SYSTEM It I aiucli AiuirccliUcil , Kniicclnlly Men The Country In lie- < o Show Hi K tin ot lro iierlty. , Colonel Albert O. Swift , United States postofllco Inspector , who has been In Cuba during the last thrco months , assisting in organizing the postal service along American lines , has returned. In speaking of his work : in Cuba Mr. Swift said : "Mywork was mostly In the province of Santa Clara and consisted principally of get ting the postofflccs In working order and mapping out the mall routes. The offices In tlio cities and towns nro known as mili tary stations , nnd nro under the New York offlcc. Military olllcers are in charge. In the smaller towns and in the country wo have Relucted Spaniards and Cubans for the service. To say that the residents of the province are pleased with the mall eorvlca Is putting it very mildly. Hisretr ere tbo postal service haa been little bettor tlmn none , and consequently It has not been pa tronized. Now we are giving the people regular eervkcH , running dolly malls In many localities , with weekly and scml- weckly malls Into the moro remote districts. Of courao I'lio ofllccR are not self-supporting yet , but they will bo before many months , na it is apparent that the mails are rapidly be coming better patronized. The Cubans are not great letter wrltcru , but the business men , seeing the stability of our system , nro using it a great deal moro than they did a few weeks ago. "The money that the United States Is pay ing to the Cuban eoldlcru as a rule does not seem to be doing them much good. A largo portion of it goee for luxuries and trinkets. However , when you como to realize that It In the first money that many of these men have haJ for months , and even years , you can't wonder that they gpcnd it foolishly. Then again , u man can't buy so very mucb. with $75 , the allowance that each soldier receives. There are certain things that they must have and when they have made these purchases they don't have very much loft. I'rniuHirlly llfKlmilnir , "Tim country is beginning ; to ehow eomo signs of prosperity , but it will bo a long time before the plantations are under * good state of cultivation. Tlio long war with Spain completely devastated tlio coun try , the fields have grown up to weeds and underbrush and the houses and other build ings have been destroyed , Tlio people who formally occupied the/so lands have returned to their homes In many Instances , but they have no means to go on with their work. They have no funds with which tc. buy horsea and mules to use In cultivating the neil and they hava no money with which to purchase agricultural Implements. "As i rule the Cuban Is lazy possibly tba climate is rcbponsiblo for this but nover- thulexs the Cuban is lazy and tthlftless and , possessing these cliaracterlatlcs , jt Is no wonder that he will not work , now that ha has nothing to work with. When the coun try becomes Americanized It Is going to bo fabulously rich , as the soil will produce everything that can bo grown In the tropics. i Some plantations , I am Informed , that have I been under cultivation for more than 100 years teem to bo Just as fertile and produc- tlvo as when the soli was Ilrst stirred.
