Republican Consistency,

The Republican newspapers just
at the present time are making
quite fuss over the increase of 50
per capita in the circulating medi-
um. Last fall when the Democrats
advocated an increase in the circu-
lating medium they told lis we had
money enough, in fact more than
enough, and called Democrats re-
pudlatiopists for advocating an in
crease. Now if an increase of So is
a good thing, as our Republican
friends say it is, why not give the
people more of it? Instead of $25
per capita, as it is now, the busi-
ness of this great country demands
that the circulating medium be
twice that amount. Give the peo-
pie that much money and the jobs
of the money sharks would be over,
and the government would cease
to be at the mercy of Wall and
Lombard streets.--Napoleon Demo-
cratic Northwest.

For Renters
Collector Entrekin Gives Out Some
Important Information.

Col. John A. Entrekin, revenue
collector of this district has recent
ly given out ruling Of the Com
missioners of internal revenue
which has hitherto not been under
stood and whish is of Importance
to owners of property which is rul
ed out and to those who occupy
rented property.
We take the following from the
Lancaster Gazette which gives the
matter in most comprehensive
and satisfactory manner.
Those who rent houses have per.
haps not heard of the latest. II
touches their pocket-books and in
many instances will provoke a
serious burden. Colonel John A
Entrekin, revenue collector for this
district, has just received a ruling
from the commissioners Of internal
revenue on referred case, which
bears out the opinion that all re-
ceipts for rent are invalid unless
they bear twenty-five cent rev.
enue stamp. The commissioner
quotes sections of the law which
says that any memoran dun or con-
tract for the hire, use, or rent Of
any land or portion thereof is SUBJ
ject to and must pay the stamp tax
of twenty-five cents. The ruling
thus holds that rent receipts are
the only evidence of contract be-
tween renter and rentee. So when
you pay your rent be sure the re-
ceipt bears twenty-five cent
stamp. 1t doesn't make any diff
ference whether the rent is nominal
per week for a hall or bedroom or
larger amount per year for store
room in business block. The war
tax is twenty-five cents in either
event The ruling, however, opens
another line Of thought which Col
lector Entrekin sets forth thus
"When lease exists for a month |
or term of months, the lease must |
be stamped. 1t is the evidence of
contract between the parties to it,
and so must bear the stamp. Pay.
nent Of rent under that lease may
1e adjudged payments on account
# the contract embodied ia the
case, and receipts for these pay
nents on account, whether credit
ID upon the original document or
Ipon seperate piece OF paper,need
lot bear stamp. Where there Is
10 lease, particularly as is the Gus
om in small houses, where the
orm OF the receipt, as in the case
eferred to in the bureau, embodies
he contract between lessor or and
essee, that receipt is the only evil {
ence Of such contract and as such {
aust be stamped. This provision Il
t the war tax law will work great
ardship upon the poor renters, un-
