A Tax on Marriage.

Revenue Collector, Kellogg has decided that 8 government tax of 10 cents would be imposed on all couples married after July l if they follow the general rule and procedure says yesterdays Kansas City Journal.
 License when issued require no stamp, but when it comes back for record with the certificate Of the minister filled, it becomes subject to the war tax ana needs a 10 cent stamp to make it legal and binding.
 Then if the minister issues a
 marriage certificate to the couple just starting out to navigate the sea of matrimony-as we'll regu- lated couples require-another 10 cent stamp is needed.
 MT. Kellogg looked the matter |up carefully before giving the opinion as to the construction Of the law and he is very certain IS is right on the subject. The law enumerates many different kinds of papers that are to be stamped, then tells of "any other papers'' in such away as to leave no doubt 1.-the marriage license certificates are included. Papers requirinx stamps and not bearing them ara mot competent as evidence n courts of law The Joplin Hrn
