S (' III I I Senator Jones' Endeavor to Have Tnem Exempted From Taxation. WiasMngtoni Dec. 1. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, who has beten .interesting himaielf' imj securing" the exemption of cotton tickets from the requirements of the stamp tax, flias received a letter from the commissioner of internal rev ue, amniouncing this decision making the exemption. In his letter the com missioner says: "After a careful review of thtie sub ject, this office ds of the opinion, and so 'holds that where - a buver of cotton deposits wiChf a third person- a sum of money out of wMch the third person is directed to pay all cotton tickets O. K'd by the tori yer, that the tickets cash ed under these circumstances are ex empt from taxation) as orders for the payment of money. In order to come within this rulinlg thle buyer must act- - . i ually place the money wlith the third person who cashes the ticket and the 1 ticket must be then actually cashed out j of the buyer's own money and no other, j This would not include tQDe payment of j tickets by a bahk out of th-: funds ol its depositors, nor payment of tickets in tne 'hands of persons to whom they havte been tramsferred by the carton seiller." Senator Jones took the posiition that as cottoin tickets are mere directions on the part of the purdhlasers tot their cashliers to pay lout their awn money they were not subject to the require ments of itihe stamp tax. He also held them to be exempt because of the levy- ng of a tax on the cottoni itself, w&ich is exempt as a farm product.
