THEY I HI DON'T LIKE IT
New Method of oancelling Revenue
Stamps is Obnoxious.
RULING WENT INTO EFFECT TODAY.
Bankers Have Reen Busy Preparing
Their Knives-One Intimnted He
Would Rather Use His On
the Commissioners

Th recent ruling of the internal rev.
enue department of the United States
treasury in regard to the. change of
the method OF cancelling revenue
stamps of the 1Q-eent denomination or
higher, Went into effect today. All
the banks of the city We're officially
notified OF the change, and everyone of
them has been busy al day sharpen
ing knives with which to put the nee
essary Sits in the little pieces of stamp
paper as required by the new ruling.
One banker intimated today that he
would be tempted to use his knife on
the man that made that decision if he
could get hold of him. and others were
heard to say that such a system or rul-
ing was more like The work of a baby.
"The object of the law" he said, sis
TO prevent the government from being
defrauded by certain methods whereby
persons were enabled to remove the
ink stamped on the little revenue slip,
aud thus use it again. The new law
says that there, must be two Sits
made in it, lengthwise, beginning one
quarter of an inch from the top and
extending TO within one-quarter of an
inch from the bottom of the stamp.
Now the idea that that will prevent
counterfeiting any better than the 9TH
err method is all bosh. A person who
is disposed to defraud Uncle Sam in
this manner, can very easily remove
the stamp from any document on
which it might have been placed and
properly lacerated, and paste it on an
other paper through which he could
make two Sits TO correspond with
those in the stamp. Lit is about the
biggest piece of foolishness that this
people have ever been compelled to toll
crate. The specifications as to how
the stamp shall be mutilated are sim
ply ridiculous, and every man who is
compelled to use revenue stamps
should write that, commissioner and
ask for instructions as ridiculous as
are his rulings.
"The question has been raised in this
city whether or not the commissioners
is legally entitled to change the man
ner of the cancellation of revenue
stamps, inasmuch as that is a part of
the law. One mansip Ottumwa has writ
ten to Major John F. Lacey, at Wash
ington, for his opinion on this subject,
but in my mind, it is very clearly ex-
planned that the ruling will stand, ac-
cording to section 25 under the head OF
adhesive stamps in the new revenue
law, which read as follows:
"'That the commissioner of internal
revenue shall cause to be prepared for
the payment of the taxes prescribed in
this act suitable stamps denoting the
tax on the document, article, or thing
to which the same be affixed, and he is
authorized to prescribe such method
for the cancellation of said stamps, as
substitute for or in addition to the
method provided in this act, as he may
deem expedient.'"

a SURE cuREFoR GROUP.
Years Constant Use with
out Failure.

The first indication of Group is
hoarseness, and in child subject to
that disease it may be taken as sure
sign of the approach of an attack. Fol-
lowing this hoarseness is peculiar
rough cough. If Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. 1t is used in many thou
sands of homes in this broad land and
never disappoints the anxious mothers.
We have yet to learn of single in
stance in which it has not proved eff
fectual. No other preparation can show
such record-twenty-five years con-
stand use without failure. For sale
