stout little squad of AZ men and five Of

we met Baron Vossgoff, who was ex-

better than the ones we had travelled
before; go we pounded along right mer-

ordered the preparation of dinner. The
three officers of the private companies
we had ridden along with came to our
fire. Two of them belonged to great
houses in the west and the third was a
lowly born, well tested soldier like Red
Harding. While we devoured our Spar

watched company after company Of
horse. foot and artillery creep along
the road and take up position to right

STAMPING OF On ECKS.



Meaning of the War Tax Law.
Col. @. NJ. Leitch, deputy collector
of Internal revenue, has received from
the department at Washington copy
of Commissioner G. w. Wilson'S ruling
in the matter of banks placing checks
on stamps. 1t is in the nature of u
reply to letter written by John G.
Entrekin, collector of the Eleventh
Ohio district, and is as follows:
This Office is in receipt Of your
letter Of July 9th, 1899, stating that it
has come to your knowledge that GER
tain banks are encouraging the practice
of allowing their customers to give
checks without stamping same, and
when the checks are brought to the
bank the bank stamps them. As the
check is delivered to the payee before
ID reaches the bank, in your opinion,
such practice is illegal and violation
of the revenue law; also, you state that
many of the checks never reach the
bank upon which they are drawn, being
taken up before being presented for
payment, and the government would,
therefore, lose entirely the amount Of
the stamp in that particular case. You
also state that the bank has adopted
this practice as an advertisement to
secure patronage as against rival bank
which requires the customers to stamp
their checks at the time they are exc
cuted. You ask to be advised in the
matter. You are advised that banks
must not affix stamps to unstamped
checks presented, and must return to
tho drawer any unstamped check pre-
sented for payment. You are directed
to notify the banks that are guilty Of
the practice herein described that If
it is not Immediately discontinued they
will be- reported to the United States
district attorney for prosecution. The
instruction contained in the Treasury
decision 1906 under date of June Goth,
1898, to the effect that there was no
objection to the ailixing by the bank of
tho requisite stamps to an unstamped
check presented for payment, is hereby
revoked. This instruction was given
to meet an emergency Immediately Ere
ceding the taking effect of the stamp
act on July LIST, 1893, in order to obviate
the necessity of returning by the banks
thousands of unstamped checks issued
by drawers in Ignorance of the law.
The law being now generally under
stood, there is no further need of such
permission.
