TAX ON POSTAL MONEY ORDERS
1t Is'Paid by the Buyer and No Rev
enue stamp Is Required.

The revenue act which took effect July
l prescribed a government tax of 2 cents
on each United States postal money order.
Instructions were issued in advance to
all money-order postoffices that this tax
was to be collected not by affixing stamps
to the orders, but by charging cents to
the buyers of money orders in addition
to the regular fee. This cents is to be
accounted for separately by postmasters
to the auditor for the postofiice depart
ment, and the gross amount of the col
lections, estimated at half million dol
lars per annum, will be tnnserred from
the postal revenue to the internal revenue
fund quarterly by the auditor.
In spite of the plain instructions sent
out money orders are now coming in to
the auditors Office with revenue stamps
affixed. Some of them have evidently
been affixed and cancelled by postmasters
others by purchasers of money orders
Still others, and most numerously, by
payees when they receipt for the money
All this is double payment of tax, for the
selling postmaster will in every case be
required to account for two cents on each
order sold. No revenue stamps are in any
case to be attached to the United State:
