THE new STAMP TAXES.

While It see ms odd to great many
people to have q stamp tax, after the
plan of our own civil war taxes, or o.
Mexico q stamp tax of today, there has
been not the slightest disposition
among business men through the coun-
try to .murmur against it. Men realize
that it is not only q necessity, but that
it 10 one of the moot equitable and just
methods of taxation known.
The chief objection to such tax in
time Of piece 10 the undoubted restric-
ton 1t places on the freedom of ordi-
nary business transactions. To those
accustomed to doing business in Mex.
ice, this fact needs no argument. TIC
our own people it will become clearly
revident before the war is over. But
e such . time as the present, no true
American will grumble at the slight
additional burden he is called upon to
bear. He should feel each time he
afixes Q stamp that he is doing q
small part toward helping Ga the war,
even if he does not bear arms and
storm fortified cities. Armies would
be useless, without q government to
pay their bills. And the government,
derives its power and credit from all
the people.
The stamp taxes are naturally the
ones which directly affect the largest
part of our people. There has been
much Misunderstanding concerning
these stamp taxes, and many notices
published heretofore have been mac.
curate. In order to enable all citizens
to comply strictly with the law, and
escape the penalties attached to non.
compliance, we have compiled from the
law itself an accurate and brief list OF
these taxes, which will>b most useful
for preservation: These taxes take eff
feet today, July 1.

Indebtedness, on each 800 of face
value, 5 cents.
