THE CoTroN TAx.-Qficiaz Circular.--The
commissioner of internal revenue has just issued
circular containing important regulations con
corning the weighing aud marking of cotton, the
assessment and collection Of tie tax, and the re-
moval of cotton under bond. 1t recites the sec
ton of the act passed July H. in accordance with
which the commissioner says the places for weigh
ing will be designated by him from time to time.
The fees for weighing and marking will be fixed
by the commissioner of internal revenue, and
must in all cases be paid by the producer owner
or holder of the cotton for whom the work is done
In order to prevent confusion in the assessment
and collection of the ta-z on cotton, after the
same has been weighed and marked, each asses
sor is required to keep an account with each per
son for whom cotton has been weighed, similar to
the account now kept with manufacturers of the
| goods produced by them monthly. This account
will be debited with the quantity of cotton
weighed and marked for each producer or owner,
and be credited with the quantity transported be-
; You'd the limits of the district in bond under per-
, nit granted by the assessor, or removed upon
} payment of the tax as also with the quantity, if
any sold and delivered to any manufacturer or
manufacturing company for consumption in the
district.
The commissioner prescribes the rules under
r which the removal of cotton from district to
another may be made. Where parties are desir-
Gus of paying the tax on their cotton before re-
3 dueed, they will be required to make return
to the assessor, or an assistant assessor of the
, district
Upon recent Of this return the assessor OF
assistant assessor to whom it is delivered, will I'M
mediately proceed to assess the tax upon the cotton
mentioned therein, and will at once certify the
amount thereof to the collector and make the re.
quired entry in his monthly list.
The provisions for collecting the tax are as fol
0 lows: Upon receipt of the assessors certificate
the collector will at once collect the tax and will
thereupon issue his permit for the removal of the
cotton which permit must state the amount and
payment of the tax, the time and place of pay
5 ment, and the marks, numbers, and gross weight
Of the bales or packages SO that the same may al
: all times be fully identified. The blank permit
8 will be furnished from the Office of internal re
venue for this purpose. Whenever the tax is paiG
the usual metallic tag or mark is to be fastened OF
the bale. The commissioner directs that return
t be made at stated periods by the cotton manufac
turers. Finally he warns all persons against th'
transportation of cotton unless the mark indicating
that the revenue tax has been paid is attached tt
each bale.-[N. Y. Post, Aug. 18th.
