ASSESSMENT SYSTEM WRONG.
Senatorial Committee Hour * Complaints
nt Chicago.
CHICAGO , June 19. At the close of
today's session of the senatorial In
vestigating committee , Senator Bax-
ted stated that the senators had con
cluded to continue the Investigation
another week.
The Chicago assessment system was
under consideration all day , and al
though a great deal of evidence was
heard nothing developed with the ex
ception of a revival of the long standIng -
Ing controversy between Robert C.
Glvlns , president of the taxpayers' as
sociation , and the city officials regard
ing the cost of cement and paving ma
terial generally.
Mr. Glvlns' chief complaint was that
city officials were evidently In collu
sion with "promoters , " who , ho inti
mated , wore working In the Interest
of cement companies and contractors.
"Property has been assessed in this
town nt from CO to 75 per cent of Its
actual cash value , " declared Mr. Glv
lns. "These special assessments have
placed real estate on such a basis In
some parts of the city that you can
not give It away , and have damaged
Chicago property to the extent of
$100,000,000 , within the last six
months.

WASHINGTON , Juno 19. During
the ufttirnoon. the Indmitrlnl conunlt-
tie heard it ntalemcnt from P. 13. Down
of Now York , president of the com-
morctnl tin volant * luaguo. Mr. Dowo
said the opinion * of the commercial
men ut largo WUH that the trustn worn
a mi-unco to the communityHo wstl-
mated thu number ot traveling salesmen -
mon in the United States at 350,000 ,
aylng that the census figures of 60,000
\\uro grossly Incorrect. The formation
of trusts and combinations was throwIng -
Ing a large number of UIOHO men out of
employment. Mr. Dowo said that the
trust combination had raised the prices
of the commodities they were cotw
trolling from 5 to 100 per cent In al
most every Instance , except coffee and
augar. In these they were still lightIng -
Ing for control of the Held. Ho said
his figures In this line were absolutely
correct , being from reliable commer-
cltl acquaintances. The examples ho
gave were : Iron plpo , over 100 per
cent ; tinware and enameled ware ,
about 33 per cent ; brass goods , 60 per
cent ; chair trust , Just formed , will ad
vance prices 30 per cent ; rubber over
shoes ( United States Rubber company )
advanced prices 14 per cent on May 1 ;
American Tin Plato company advanc
ed prices something like 30 per cent ;
newspaper quarter to half R cent R
pound , a fuither advance In prospect ;
book papers 5 and 10 per cent ; an nd-
vance Is expected In wrltlg paper ; in
common soap 25 cents to 50 cents a
box ; flint glass bottles will bo ad
vanced 10 per cent or more ; Jobbers
nnd manufacturers of clocks have ad
vanced the wholesale prices on account
of the advance of metals CO per cent ;
all metal goods have been Rdvanced ;
brass pins 25 per cent ; pipes and
bushes 12 % per cent ; combs , 7 % per
cent ; ribbons , 10 per cent ; school fur
niture has gone up as well as paper
baks and wrapping paper.
"Tho umbrella trust failed four years
ago , ' 'said the witness , but it advanc
ed prices while in existence and after
its break up the return to legitimate
and healthy prices caused a loss to the
retailer through the stock on hand. "
This witness concluded by saying
that before leaving Now York he had
been warned by an acquaintance , a
lawyer , indirectly connected with some
of the trusts , that he was doing R
dangerous thing in speaking before
the commission , as ho was liable to "bo
crushed like a caterpillar. "
The commission will hear tomorrow
M. L. Lockwood of Pennsylvania , the
last of the trust witnesses , and next
week will take up the Investigation or
agricultural Interests.
BROKERS MUST PAY THE TAX.
Transactions In llticlcot Sliopn Must Con-
trlhutn Tholr 1'urt.
WASHINGTON , June 19. Commis
sioner Wilson of the Internal revenue
bureau has rendered a decision which
has been pending for a long time re
garding the liability of bucket shop
transactions , to the stamp act. The
decision says :
By a bucket shop Is meant R place
other than a board of trade or ex
change whore tlio parties who ngreo
to buy and sell stocks do not ordinar
ily contemplate the receiving or de
livering of the certificates therefore by
the buyer or seller either at the time
or In the future. Such transactions in
stocks are taxable.
In the case of every agreement to
soli at a bucket shop there is both R
presumptive buyer and n presump
tive seller nnd this is true whether the
customer agrees to sell the stock to
the manager of the place or the man
ager of the place agrees to sell stock
to the customer.
Where agreement of sale has boon
made and no delivery of stock takes
place and the party holding the agree
ment of sale wishes to ciose the trans
action by disposing of his Interest in
said agreement , and settles with the
holder of the contract by paying the
deficiency price , In contemplation of
law there Is an agreement to resell the
shares to the original seller. All these
transactions must be evidenced by R
written memorandum.
It makes no difference whether these
agreements to sell stocks made at
bucket shops are called "selling privi
leges" or "purchase privileges" or
whether they are called by any other
name , such contracts are taxable the
same as stock transactions on the
stock exchange.
Regarding the sale of grain and oth
er products of merchandise nt bucket
shops , the commissioner , in view of
the recent decision of the United
States supreme court In regard to the
sales of merchandise at a board of
trade , exchange or any similar place ,
revokes the precious decision that R
bucket shop as ordinarily conducted
Is a similar place to a board of trade
or exchange. It la understood that
in the case of a bucket shop there IB
commonly only oho manager or firm
who control all the sales and purchas
es made at that particular place , and
where this is the case uo tax accrues
on the sale of grain or other merchan
dise made thereat , except whore a bro
ker's contract or memorandum of sale
is Issued , when it must be stamped
with a 10-cont stamp.
