to the draft. 1t seems that after all the
exempted men were stricken from the en-
rollment books, only scventy-seyen

and as the quota .f the county is Two
hundred and thirty, it becomes gra se
question where the balance is to come
from.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has decided tina, promlssory notes, paya-
bic at banks, arc not liable as checks to
taxation.
The decision. SAYS the Cincinnati Ga
zet'e, means that bank, upon paving
promissory note, made payable at its
counter, is not required to pay the duty
to which checks are liable. In otbe,
words, bank can pay such notes in cur
rency, or arrange for it in settlement OF
balances with other banks, without pay
ing duty or using stamps. 1t does not
mean that a promissory note made paya
bic at bank is not liable to stamp tax.
