Banks Cannot Affix Stamps

ID. M. Dunno, collector of inter.
nal revenue, has received a copy Of
the following ruling by the treas.
ury department, which was ad.
dressed to an Ohio collector:
Treasury Department, Office of
commissioner of Internal Revenue.
Washington, ID. c., July II, 1899.
Sir; This office is in receipt of your
letter OF July 6, 1899, stating that
1t has come 10 your knowledge that
certain banks are encouraging a
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 de.
hvered to the payee before il
reaches the bank, in your opinion.
such a practice is illegal and a vic.
lation of the revenue law; also, Won
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 adver.
uSement to secure Patronage
against rival bank, which requires
the customers to stamp their checks
at the time they are executed.
You ask TO be advised in the mat,
ter,
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1899-08-05

"You are advised that banks
must not attiX stamps to unstamped
checks presented, and must return
to the drawer an unstamped
check presented for payment.
"Iou are directed to notify the
banks that are guilty Of this practice
herein described that if it is not
Immediately discontinued they will
be reported to the United States
district attorney for prosecution.
The instructions contained IN
treasury decision 1906, under
date of June 80, 1898, to the effect
that there was no objection to the
affixing BY the bank OF the
requisite stamps to an unstamped
check presented for payment, is
hereby revoked. This instruction
was given to meet an emergency
Immediately preceding the taking
effect of the stamp act, on July l.
1903, in order to Obiviate the
necessity of returning by the
banks thousands Of unStamped
checks, issued by drawers in
ignorance of the law. The law
being now generally understood
there is no further need of such
permission. &c. w. Wilson,
Commissioner.
