The 1imes's Washington special says
the Commissioner Of Internal Revenns
receives daily large numbers of devices,
mechanical and others, to evade the
payment of taxes and stamp duties.
One received to-day is a double-ended
match, with each end dipped in phoa-
phoric mixture The consumer breaks
each of the doRble-endersiu the miidle
and has two matches for one. The tax
is one cent for all packages of not more
than 100. BY the double-end system,
the dealer pays about half the Govern
ment tax intended BY the law. Another
ingenious evader gets up large flags Of
thin blocks, shout three inches thick,
and of the length Of matches, one Sdge
being dipped in phosphoric mixture.
These blocks be denominates Endlicg-
