= THE New INTERNAL REVENUE TAX BILL
The chief provisions Of the bill, which has just
passed both Houses Of Congress-, are as fol-
lows:
The tax on banks is stricken out, all mineral
oils are exempt from taxation, and dealers and
manufacturers are only subjected to the 1egu-
lar tax on .sales; wholesale liquor dealers, in
addition to the license tax of 500, are subject
ed to tax of one per cent. on all their sales.
The number Of supervisors of internal revenue
the new Office created by the act-is fixed at
twenty-five, and their districts are to be COM
posed OF one or more judicial districts. The
number Of secret detectives toFbe appointed by
the commissioner OF internal revenue is fixed
at twenty-five; and the whole system Of reye-
nue. agents, special agents and inspectors, ex-
cept inspectors OF cigars and tobacco, IS abol-
ished. The duties ofinspectors at distiDeries
and warehouses are hereafter to be performed
by gaugers and storekeepers, to be paid by
the government. This change reduces the
army of these subordinate officers from 100 to
less than 10U0.
Collectors and assessors Of internal revenue
are not hereafter to be allowed to so into each
others districts on any p1etext; but supcryis-
ors Of internal revenue are authorized, for suti-
cient cause, to suspend such officers and report
the facts to the Department. The House Sec
ton on drawbacks on exported spirits remains,
with a proviso that the drawback shall not be
paid until thirty days after the sailing OF the
vessel on which the spirits have been exported.
The provision for the removal and payment of
tax on bonded spirits has been fixed at nine
months as the limit in which such tax must be
paid. The new stamp tax on whiskey is to go
into effect in sixty days. The tax on cigarettes
is fixed at 81 so on those weighing three
pounds per Thousand, and at So on all over
that weight. The plug warehouse, which the
Ill .E1n
should maintain at his own expense, is stricken
out.
