Cleveland, Dec. 19.-The last pay day
in January, and thereafter regularly,
the 1000 men employed in the New
burg mills of the big trust, the Ameri-
can Steel & Wire Co., will be paid in
checks, instead of in cash. The men
are kicking vigorously over the new
arrangement, and so are the mer-
chants of Newburg. The officials of
the company claim that the check plan
is preferable, as it will save much
time for the men, as well as the COM

Columbus, Dec. 2O.-The supreme
court yesterday handed down de-

WAR TAX IN NORFOLK.
INTERNAL REVENUE CoLLEC.
TIONS OF THE PAST AND
DDI,cr,nru,

The war tax is big item in the Gus
tom houses of the country. 1t is an I'M
popular tax, Of course. It is truism
that all taxes are unpopular, and q tax
levied at first to sustain arms for free
ing people, and collected subseuuent-
ly to sustain the same arms in a war
of conquest falls far short Of being
populnr.
The war tax has Increased the inter-
nal revenue collected MT the Norfolk
custom house over 100000 a year. In
other words it has more than twice
doubled these collections. Where Nor
folkians paid the internal revenue col
lector 81 before June ], 1898. they now
pay him just q little over ST. They nav
1t in various manners, and many times
they know not that they are contrib
uting to the war tax.
The internal revenue collections prior
to the time the war tax went into Of
feet were about $4,000 n year at the
Norfolk custom house. For the last fis-
cal year they were about $40, 900. show
ing an increase Of about $1IO, 900. 1t is
probable that pretty nearly the same
per centage of Increase has resulted
over the entire country. 1t has been
much greater in some cities.
Everyone knows how the war INK is
collected. The greater part of it is a
stamp tax, documentary and proprie-
tary. Then there is a special tax on
brokerage. etc, and the beer tax is lust
double what Il was. The biggest item
in the Norfolk custom house is the
documentary stamps. They so on
checks, negotiable instruments, deeds.
and like instruments. Their sale natu-
rally gives an index to the activity and
volume of business that is going on in
the city and vicinity.
There is from $500 to $1,000 worth
OF these stamps sold by the Norfolk
custom house each month. This would
indica te that much real estate is chang
ing hands and that The banks
are doing n big business. Some firms
buy these stamps in great lots. as high
as $500 or $500 worth at n time They
are sold in denominations from cents
up to 500. Probably the largest amount
used on a single instrument in Norfolk
was $40. This amount was used on a
paper recording a big property trans
fer. There are hundreds of dollars
worth used every week In the office

T. p. A. HEARD FROM.


In regard TO this party, and all others
who may claim TO represent the II. T..
"A. OF America i'm raising funds for this
aiieged purpose, the following was rt.,
ceived In Norfolk yesterday from Mr.
w. IS. "althail secretary of Virginia
Division. Il. p. a. of America, with
headquarters at Richmond:
VIII state that I am authorized
by both the Virginia Division, Trav-
eiers' Protective Association, and the.
national secretary of the Travellers.
protective Association OF America. to
state that any one soliciting moneys or
subscriptions for the securing of inter
manageable mileage in the interest of
the Travellers Protective Association of
America. is not authorized to do so
by this said association. and would
publicly state that this association has
no one soliciting moneys fnr the inter
changeable mileage, as this special
work Is done by committees duly ap-
pointed by the National Convention and
their expenses arc paid out OF the ma
tional treasury, which is created by the
dues from the membership.
Any one so soliciting is on his own
Responsibility. and ] would be glad TO
nave the public SO recognize it"
1t is believed that the party who
has been in Norfolk has left the city
and it may be his intention to continue
his work in other Southern cities. To
those whom he approached in Norfolk
ne exhibited lengthy petitions in favor
of the adoption of the interchangeable
mileage ticket, and attached to these
were the names of many business men
and firms in baltimore and Philadel-
phia' we'll known to Norfolk business
men. In one case, at least, these names
mad much weight in giving him n fuv-
orable reception and IL ten dollar con-
tribution.
From the above it will be seen that
the Il. p. a. of America has no men
out soliciting funds for the above or
any other purpose. and business men
should be careful as to the signatures.
