A TAX ON BRIDES. roo.
Marriage Certificates Must Also Bear
wnr-Reyenue st,mp.

There is tax on brides. 1t Is not pro-
hlbitive, and It is Indirect and Il is prob
able that the trainers OF the new war
revenue tax bill did not have II in their
minds when they provided that all certl-
iicates not enumerated in the bill should
be stamped with Decent adhesive stamp.
The question was propounded 10 Collector
Brady recently By Clerk Christian. OF the
Hastings Court, and the ruling was that
the marriage license was exempt, but the
stamp must be put upon the minister s
certificate. As the law further provides
that no unstampcd document can be used
in any court as evidence. 1t will easily
be seen what complications might arise
should the stamping OF the certificate be
overlooked or neglected.
Mr.. Christian thought that he might
save the ministers the annoyance Of
having 10 afIix the stamp by putting them
on the certificate when IL is issued in the
Hastings Court, and adding the cost to
that OF the license. but he came TO the
conclusion that as a penalty attaches 10
the failure to cancel a stamp. and many
ministers might overlook this important
duty, he would let the law take its course.
Collector Brady has ruled that no stamp
tax Is required for bills Of sale OF YES
seis-steamship or sailing-and the de-
partment has sustained him
good many letters are being received
by the Collector from farmers who have
an idea that they have to pay tax on
tobacco grown by them. Such Is not the
case. The farmer can store his tobacco
In warehouse without having TO pay any
stamp tax, but he has no authority I'm
selling tobacco TO dispose also OF his ex-
emption from tax. In other words, he
cannot confer upon the buyer any exemp-
ton from the tax, privilege enjoyed only
by the grower OF the tobacco.
Collector Brady has ruled that the
stamp tax has to be paid upon every as
signment or transfer, mortgage. lease or
policy Of insurance, or renewal or con-
at the same rate as Is imposed
