CLEARINGHOUSE CERTIFICATES.
Not Taxable Ten Per Cent, in the Opinion of
Mr.. Oiney.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. November 2S.-
Attorney General Olney has rendered an
opinion that certain notes issued by cor
uorations during the recent currency
famine" are not taxable 10 per cent.
under the Characterization law.
The opinion. which is addressed to
Secretary Carlisle, quotes the bank-taN
provision Of the internal-revenue law, and
says If there is any doubt as to the
meaning Of the statute imposing this
tax. the doubt must be resolved In favor
Of exemption.
The opinion was given upon a clearing
house certificate from Albany, Ca, is
sued TO the First National Bank Of that
city. and tho text of which is embodied
in the opinion.
The Attorney General says: "The paper
Is not signed anywhere by the First Ma
tional Bank. 1t is plainly not an instru-
ment upon which either that bank or the
Clearing House Association could be sued
in an action at common law and a money
judgment received by proving and intro
ducing the paper alone without further
evidence. In my opinion. therefore, the
paper is not in conflict with the statute"

remedy was 10 sprinkle the ground

salt 10 the acre late in the fall. The
salt served . double purpose; killed the
worms and fertihxed the ground. In
