WAR REVENUE RULINGS
The Tax Must Be Computed on
True Value of Property.
DEEDS OF CONVEYANCE
A Quit Claim Deed or a Decd of Cir
Must Be Stampsd-No Stamp On
Tax Sale Certif1cates-Goods
Delivered for Storage.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The commits
sioner of internal revenue has decided
that deeds to cemetery lots which con-
vey only the right TO burial therein, to
erect monuments, etc, do not require
a revenue stamp under the new law.
He has held also. in another case, that
on deeds of conveyance The tax should
be computed upon the true value OF
the property conveyed; that on deeds
conveying only a specified fractional
interest in undivided property the. tax
should be computed upon the actual
value of the interest conveyed; also
that all deeds of conveyance where the
value of the property exceeds 300
must be stamped. The fact that the
deed is a deed of gift from husband and
wife does not exempt from tax. A quit
claim deed, or a deed made to cure a
defect in a previous deed must be
stamped.
A certificate on the back or margin
of a mortgage that the mortgage has
been satisfied requires a stamp as GER
tifcate. Where, however, the local
laws authorize entry in satisfaction
upon the record and the mortgage is
thus cancelled, such entry does not re-
quire a stamp.
Letters or administration, letters les-
tamentary or of guardianship ii is held
do not require stamps, but petitions for
the appointment of administrators, ex-
ecutors or guardians do require stamps.
as do bonds of administrators. execu-
tors or guardians. No stamp Is re-
quired on certificate of tax sale for un-
paid taxes, nor on the certificate OF re-
demption from sale.
1t is held also that every separate
consignment of goods delivered for
storage requires a receipt which must
be stamped if the consignment requires
several days in delivery. 1t need not,
however, have but one tax of 20 cents
on it's receipt if it can be shown to be
but one consignment. If no warehouse
receipt Is issued the book of the eN-
press delivering the consign-
ment. being signed as a receipt. the
stamp should be affixed thereto. Mere
local operators for the delivery or
packages, baggage and the like within
the same town, may give receipts.
which are not required to be STAMPED.
Where. in consideration of an addition
to the regular storage charges, an ad-
ditional responsibility is assumed, the
instrument is stamped as an insurance
policy at the rate of i cent on each dol
lar of premium charged. 1t is also held
that where a policy of life insurance
is assigned as collateral security for a
loan exceeding 81. 900 II should be
stamped as a pledge, according TO the
amount of the debts secured and not
according to the face of the policy.

he has gratefully accepted the offer OF
the Red Cross auxiliary for mainten-

objection TO the employment of women

MANTLE ON FUSION.
The Senator Doubts Its Possibility in the
Fall Campaign.

Fall Campaign.
Special Dispatch TO the Standard.
Great Falls, Aug. Ex-senator Lee
Mantle Is in the city for the first visit
of many months. He has spent the
time In meeting and talking with re-
publicans and others In regard to the
political situation. locally. and in refer
ence 10 the state. This morning he stat
ed to the Standard reporter that he
very much doubted the possibility this
fall of a fusion between the silver
forces.
There must be fusers in order to
have a fusion, n there can hardly
be a fusion on state officers unless fus-
ion prevails on the county ticket. The
man who is running for the office OF
constable will ay. L am just as good a
silver man as Charley Hartman or
Judge Pemberton ever dared to
be and II fusion is good for them II is
rood for me also. Two years ago the
silver republicans were hardly organ
lied and for the sake of silver they sac
rlnced themselves so far AZ offices were
concerned. The political situation has
changed since that lime and this year
they will hardly care TO fuse, unless
they are recognized as n Of the rus
ers. and IL the principle of fusion ap-
plies to state offices. then the principle
holds true In local affairs. Silver re-
publlcans, because they believe In a ma
tional fnarcial policy, will not
consent to throw away their
rights as taxpayers and their
consequent right 10 participate IN
their local government. A man makes
one sacrifice c~heerfully, but he Will not
continue such action any longer than

Allen Explained.

Congressman John Allen of Miss!ssip-
pi would rather tell a story than write
a letter. The shrewd, kindly natured,
but too neglected representative isn't as
attentive to his correspondence as De
comes a member of congress. says the
81. Louis Globe-Democrat. His fault in
this respect is a source of regret to
his friends. 1t is only by his delightful
mixing with his people after he returns
home that Mr.. Allen makes amends ana
secures forgiveness for his unfamiliar
ity as a correspondent. There are those
who believe that IL Mr.. Allen had cul-
tiyated the politicians and people with
his typewriter as a~ss1duously as other
statesmen are wont TO do, he might
have attained a seat in the United
states senate before this time.

WHY He DIDN'T BID UP.
The Plight of a Man who Had a Weak
meas for Auction Sales.

The Plight of a Man Who Had a Weak
meas for Auction Sales.
From the Lewiston Evening Journal.
There was a red flag out in front OF
a farm house up in the Swift River re-
eion in oxford the other day when
Burns was driving past the place. He
can never get by an auction safe.
There is something about a bargain at
vendue hat strikes him just where he
lives. So Burns hitched his horse n
stopped on the outskirts of the crowd.
He remembered that at the last auction
he attended he bought two pod augers
and an OK yoke, and this time he
steeled himself lest he might commit
similar egregiousness. In fact he con-
cluded that he would't bid at all.
But when the crowd got well walked
up over a Jersey heifer. Burns Clipped
IN a bid or two. and finally got TO go
ing hard against a red-whiskered man
who carried a whip in his left hand
and expectorated violently after every
bid.
AS the contest waxed somewhat en-
ergetic. Burns reached for his pocket
book. His fingers ran down and down
into his trousers pocket until they slid
into a good biz hole. The pocketbook
was gone. You, who have found holes
In your pockets where wallets ought to
be. can. i'm some measure, appreciate
Burns feelings.
He stopped bidding. and while the
red-whiskered man, still expectorating.
was paying down an installment on the
heifer. Burns pushed forward through
the crowd and got the a~uctioneer's ear.
That functionary listened intently,
Then he arose erect once more, ana IN
his professional drone commenced;
This gentleman informs me that he
has lost a pocketbook containing ne
sum of $500. He offers the sum of $40 for
its return. Now

tones from the administered man.
THAT was beyond what | could ar
