STAMPS STILL SHORT
THE TAX LAW ONLY PARTIALLY
ENFORCED so FAR


The stamp act again was In effect yester-
day only in partial manner. The revenue
authorities of San Francisco seem to have
had an utter want Of comprehension OF
the necessities of the occasion. and the sup
ply of stamps Is miserably inadequate.
There has been very indignant condemns
ton of the San Francisco office on this &C.
count by business men who seem to think
that Collector Lynch could have had plenty
Of stamps on hand II he had had the pres
cience to have ordered them in time. How
ever this may be, business men are GER
tainly embarrassed by the situation. for
they have an intricate law to deal with,
about which there is little information to
be had Of an authoritative kind, 50 that
the provisions have to be construed as best
possible.
There has, for instance, been a great
amount Of difference Of opinion a. to the
clause of the act which specifics that all
deeds and conveyances must DO stamped.
and "all other certificates" This was by
United States Attorney Flint taken to
mean that q deed must bear the requisite
stamp, and also the certificate Of the notary
attached, but the Title Insurance Trust
company asked for ruling of the treasury
department on tnlS point, anu yesterday
afternoon received telegram from Com
missioner N. B. Scott of the department
which said:
Certificate of any description does not
apply to certificate Of acknowledgment to
deeds and mortgages" This established
the fact that the stamp required on the
deed itself Is sufficient.
At the office Of Deputy Noah Of the inter-
nal revenue collectors office the few stamps
on hand were sold as rapidly as the clerks
could count them. On the morning train
one hundred thousand one-cent stamps ar
rived, and before o'clock they were all
gone. Business men pleaded with Mr.. Noah
for more stamps than he would let them
purchase, but he made as equitable an al
lotment of the stock on hand as he could.
trying to give each firm a fair show to do
business. The office will not be open again
until Tuesday, when it is thought that
full supply of stamps will be on hand from
Washington. The railway and telegraph
companies are still doing business without
stamps, under the opinion of legal ad-
visers, keeping account Of the bills Of lad
ing issued and kilograms sent, which ac-
count will be offset by stamps purchased
and cancelled when the supply arrives.

similar measure, which shall provide these

similar measure. which shall provide these
three things:
First-That the national flag or coat of
arms of the United States shall not be used
for advertising purposes.
Second-That no partisan devices or in
scriptions shall be placed upon or attached
thereto.
Third-That those who treat 1t with in
dignity or wantonly injure or destroy it
shall be punished.
For these three provisions we earnestly
plead; if not in the exact form of the bill
offered by the Daughters of the American
Revolution, yet in such form, and in such
detail as shall seem to the congress of the
United States best calculated to secure
reverence and honor to our national symbol.
We want the flag protected from all in
suits, not from the injury done by adver-
Users alone. We appeal to loyal Americans,
men and women, to stand by the Daughters
Of the American revolution in this crusade.
We desire congress to enact a law provid-
ing a fitting punishment for the desecra-
ton of the flag, and we hope to soon see
the glorious emblem of liberty everywhere
revered and honored, protected from desc
Grafton and from any commercial, parti-
san or unworthy use.

spect for Old Glory.

whether 1t ought to be used as a vehicle of
advertisement for patent nostrums or in
toxicatng liquors, yet instances of such
misuse are too we'll known, and with such
associations may also be classed those of
political partisanship with their accompani-
ment of intense and bitter feeling, rancor
and turbulence. All of which bring neither
glory nor benefit to the flag, nor to those
who are bound to honor and protect It.
The last presidential campaigns forced

flag was a sacred emblem, to be treated
with respect by all, even upon penalty Of
death, in the piping times of peace 1t might
be treated with any inconceivable indig-

gram for the afternoon embraced the news
