The messages, from national as
sociation, headquarters, in Chicago
and signed by H. U. Nelson, execu
tive secretary, were as follows:
"There is possibility of eli
minating tax on capital gains .
in new federal revenue act.
Senator Smoot, chairman and
other members of the senate
finance committee, as well as
treasury department favor it.
Please wire Senator Stanfield
urging his support pointing
out the present "law restricts
sale of real property held by
present owners previous to
March 1, 1923 and encourage
subterfuge' and evasion. Tax
committee of National assoc
iation recommends substitu
tion of stamp tax on real es
tate sales If necessary to make
up loss in revenue."
The second message read:
"Tax committee will not
advocate any increase in
stamp tax on real estate
transactions and Is trying
only to obtain elimination
of capital gains front income
tax. Please wire Senator
Stanfield of senate finance
committee to support our re
quest." What we really need, apparent
ly, is a flivving wage.

Here are some kinks In present

broadcast this week to members of

iation, the Indiana Bankers Assoc

Association, they are:
Where property is bought for
renting purposes a depreciation
will be df "ncted on it each year,
even thou6u It Is not actually rent
ed. Of course depreciation may
not be taken on a house bought
solely for a residence of the own
er. Where property is bought for
sale at a profit, depreciation must
be taken for each year, whether
it is takeajluring each year or at
the time the sale is actually made.
llll A. 1 . -
in an installment saie, wnere
the cash consideration received, at
the time of the sale is less than
25 of the sale price, further pay
ments to be received over a' period
of years, the profit should be re
ported not in total at the date of
sale but in installments when pay
ment is made by purchaser, each
portion reported being equal to the
same proportion of the total pro-
tit to be earned as the installment
paid is to the selling price.
To avoid difficulty in allocating
profit on subdivisions a value
should be set up at the time o pur
chase on each fraction of property
bought. '
EARLY OREGON RO
MANCE A romance of early Oregon, in
which the principles were the poet,
Joaquin Miller, and Minnie Dyer,
also an Oregon writer, was related
recently by Professor John B.
Horner to his Oregon history class
es at the Oregon Agricultural col
lege. "Joaquin Miller was first known
in literary circles as Giles Gaston,
and Minnie Dyer as Minnie Myr
tle said Professor Horner.
"They were contributors to the
Eugene Review of which Miller
was manager. In response to an
editorial request, she gave him her
name and address. An invitation
to her home was accepted.
"Along the trail to the Dyer
home the poet saw a boy chopping
wood in a Coquille forest. The
boy was attracted by the rugged
face of the rider, made more com
manding by a ready weapon strap
ped to his side, and by a daunt
less, dare-devil expression. The
boy was Dinger Hermann, who la
ter became congressman from Ore
gon, anUnited States land com
missioner at wasnington.
"Upon arriving at Port Orford
late Thursday afternoon, the poet,
mounted on his charger and co3
turned in frontier garb, met Miss
Dyer for; the first time. To her
he was graceful. To him she was
beautiful. .Cupid, therefore, plied
bis art easily.
"Sunday .morning a shy young
Judge made one of his regular
calls. He was met at the door by
Miss Minnie and her new friend.
Upon introducing her two suitors
to each other, she disappeared.
Whereupon Mr. Miller said, 'Judge
I'll have a word with you, sir. Miss
Minnie and Tare to be married in
a Jew moments, and you are to
have, the honor of -performing the
ceremony. .
"Marrying another fellow to
one's own best girl was a legal
procedure with ,which the timid
Judge was unfamiliar. But as
llfCOME TAX UWS
ME BROADCASTED
judge performed the ceremony,
which was as awkwardly done as
it was embarrassing to himself.
"The three-day courtship of Joa
quin Miller with his gifted Minnie
Myrtle was followed by the cus
tomary honeymoon. Later there
was a long storm which it seemed
as if a thousand fond hopes would
be shipwrecked. But one day, in
after years, the storm ceased. The
sky was again serene. It seemed
more beautiful than ever, for a
reconcilation had finally been .af
fected. They were happy in each
other once more, and beneath the
sky stood the poet waiving a last
farewell to his bride of the sea, as
she was sailing out across the
bar." Roseburg News-Review.

Increment or increase in city land

recent years in comparison with
what is generally regarded as a
fair return on invetsments, accord

now being made by the Institute

cities, according to Prof. Arthur
J. Mertzke of the University of
Wisconsin, conducting the survey,
as marked exceptions have been
discovered in almost every city In
cluded in the survey.
"As a result of the general ten
dency, it does not follow that the
purchasing of land for productive
purposes is necessarily unprofita
ble or should be discouraged,"
Professor Mertzke asserts.
Twenty-five of the larger cities
of the country and 35 in Wiscon

pleted survey. The cities are clas

The purpose of the survey is to
discover the relationship between
population growth and land values.
It is intended for use ot tax ex
