PURPOSE TO TAX CARRIERS
ASST. ATTY GENERALS. VIEW.

Washington, July 13.-In answer TO
references from the commissioner OF IN
ternal revenue, all bearing upon the
question as to whether the shipper OF
the carrier shall pay for and affix the
required revenue stamps TO bills OF lad
ing. Assistant Attorney General BOYD
has held as follows: THE law makes
II the duty Of every railroad, steamboat
company. carrier. express company. or
corporation, or person whose occupation
II is to act as such. to issue to the
shipper. consignor or his agent, or per-
son from whom any goods are accepted
for transportation, bill of lading. man
ifest, or some other evidence OF the re-
ceipt Of the goods. wares or merchandise
received for carriage and transporta-
ton, and this bill of lading, manifest or
memorandum, requires revenue stamp
OF the value of cent affixed to 1t and
cancelled. In case OF failure to issue
such a bill of lading. the law imposes
q penalty Of $50 upon the carrier guilty
of such failure. The penalty for fall
ure to so affix the stamp Is not more
than s10O.
THE purpose of the law is clear. II
was to tax the carrier and not the snip
per; and these provisions undoubtedly
fix upon the express companies and
other carriers the duty OF providing
affixing, and cancelling the stamp, ane
their failure to so provide, affix and can
Gel such stamp subjects them to th'
penalties provided by the law.
TT is suggested that some OF thes'
carriers are refusing to receive gooo
for shipment until the shipper pays TN
| tax. While 1t is not in my provinc
J to advise as to the recourse which IN
shipper may have in instances or thi
kind, yet / am sure that the laws ar
ample to require public carriers an
express companies to receive goods ten
dered for shipment, or suffer damage
for such refusal"
