BROKERS MUST PAY THE TAX
TrniiNiiotlonii In Huclcft KhniiH Must

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.

POSTAL SERVICE IN CUBA
Work of Oolonol Albert 0. Swift , United
Elates PoatofEca Inspector ,
HE ESTABLISHED THE AMERICAN SYSTEM
It I aiucli AiuirccliUcil , Kniicclnlly

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. "
