REVENUE STAMPS
Power Vested In The Commissioner
of the Bureau.

Washington, Aug. 26.-The commits
sioner of internal revenue recently re-
quested an opinion from the attorney
general as to whether the provisions
of the revised statutes relating to the
redemption of unused documentary
stamps is still in force and applicable
to the administration of the war rev.
enue act, which contains no provision
for redemption. Acting Attorney Gen
eral Boyd, in his reply, holds that the
former revenue laws authorizing the
issue of documentary stamps have all
been repealed and hence the redemp-
ton acts pertaining to the same are
now obsolete. But 1t is further held
that under the general powers vested
in the commissioner of internal rev.
enue to make and issue regulations
relative to the collection of the rev.
enues he is authorized, under such cir
cumstances as he may deem proper, to
provide for the redemption of docu-
mentary stamps under the war rev.
enue act.
The question arose on the applica-
tion for the redemption of a single
$1,000 stamp, which had been pur-
chased to affix to a mortgage given by
a railroad company, it having been
found that the amount purchased was
$1,000 in excess Of the requirements of
the law.
