MERCHANTS WILL AID
In the Prosecution of Express
Companies if Necessary.
COLLECTOR SUTTON SAYS
There is No Question Of the
Company's Obligation to Pay.

Wichita business men say they won't
stand the express companies racket in
making the patrons OF the company pay
for the revenue stamp imposed by con-
gress upon the companies business to
raise the war revenue. A business man
on North Main said yesterday: I'm pay
double the amount before I'll submit to
the hoggish plan instituted by the COM
panies TO collect this tax. l don't mind
paying my share of this tax. Don't IN
derstand me to mean that I'd break my
peck in haste to bear this extra expense,
but whenever it's according TO the act Of
congress and required I'm willing 10 put
on the stamp and pay for it. But these
express companies on top Of their charger
already eXorbitant, want TO get clear out
OF paying any Of this tax. It's not right,
and Wichita business men are not going
to stand it. They simply won't patronize
the companies, and more than that, viii
contribute money to test the matter in
the courts. There is no necessity for US
TO pay the tax on our own business and
on the express companies business too"
The general public of Wichita Will en-
dorse the sentiment Of this expression.
Everybody in Wichita and all over the
country is mighty tired of the impudence
of the express companies in trying to get
out of this tax. Wichita has been in a
constant roar ever since the 1st Of July.
The action Of the express companies in
imposing this tax upon customers is nota-
bic because it is exceptional No other
business corpora ton or concern is at
tempting such an impudent dodge. The
following decision will probably indicate
something of the final outcome Of the
suit that is to be instituted presently by
District Attorney I. E. Lambert against
the companies IN Kansas:
NJ. L. Kaiser, a cigar dealer OF Fort
Scott, received the following letter from
Revenue Collector NJ. w. Sutton of Leav-
enworth:
The law makes It obligatory upon the
express company TO give you receipt for
your express package duly stamped and
that stamp Cancelled. The express com
pSnfes have heretofore since the passage
OF the law been playing smart but the
law specially says they shall pay the
tax"
Collector Charles H. Treat of the New
York district. has received the following
ruling from y. B. Scott, commissioner CT
internal revenue;
Each bill of lading made out by any
common carrier for transportation Of
goods for the United States under the
eighth para graph Of schedule A of the act
OF June b, 1898, requires the 1-cent stamp
as doets also each duplicate thereof
Notwithstanding the rule adopted by
such common carrier, 1t is the duty of
such common carrier to afix the stamp
10 such bill of lading and duplicate"
This means that the express companies
mus place the stamps on packages them
selves. There is no doubt that they come
under the head Of common carriers.

-BIGGESTSH UNION OF THE ERA
The Adam FOrepaugh and Sells

(trOm the New ork Recorder.)
Zone of the biggest deals ever made
among circus people has just been COM
pleted. 1t consolidates the Great Adam
Forepaugh Shows with Sells Brothers
Enormous Railroad Shows. AS Mr. Bailey
is now entire owner of the Barnum &
Bailey Greatest Show on Earth. and joint
owner Of the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show,
he brings into alliance the three biggest
show enterprises in the world. Under the
new arrangement all the cars. cages,
horses, and the menageries, material and
paraphernalia of the FOrepaugh Show will
be added TO the already big show Of the
Sells Brothers,
If this colossal compact should result
in sweeping from the field the mob Of in
ferior shows, which rival the bigger and
better ones in nothing save the price of
admission, every community will have
much occasion TO return thanks. Com
binations whose chief purpose is to give
the public more and better returns for
the same money are not only big things,
but good ones, and this is the biggest and
best of them ALL as Will be shown in
Wichita, Monday, July %.
