STAMPING BANK CHECKS
Tax Must Be Paid Before Check Is
Presented.

Deputy Collector of Internal
Revenue S. NJ CuIIom re-
ceived copy yesterday Of
the decision issued on July 20.
This is a pamphlet compiled by the
commissioner of internal revenue. G.
w. Wilson. 1t consists of answers to
questions asked by agents in the ser
vice. Collectors are directed TO no
tify The banks of the commissioner
decision regarding the usage of rev
enue stamps on checks According to
the special revenue Jaws a bank is not
permitted to receive a check unless 1t
bears a revenue stamp. Many banks
have interpreted the law to mean tina !,
the stamp must be AFFIXED to the check
before it may be filed. Commissioner
Wilson interprets it differently. He
decides that "A check shall not DC re-
ceived by the bank unless the stamp
has first been affixed by the person
who issues 1t, but must be returned to
the drawer.
Mr.. Cullom said yesterday he be-
Eeved about oneLhaf the banks We're
in the habit of putting on the stamps
themselves to please their patrons. ID
this way they got a great deal of pat
ronage from banks which comply
strictly with the law 1t is often in
convenient for the signer of a check
10 put on stamp. He would rather
have the bank hold out the two cents
and PUT on the stamp itself. III other
instances the person issuing the check
Will patroniZe one bank in preference
to another because. he considers the
two cents to be a saving. The strict
enforcement of the law as interpreted
by COMMISSIONS Wilson is calculated
to protect banks which follow the let
ter of Tihe law.
Many checks are issued without the
stamps and 50 circulated without ever
reaching the banks. When they age
issued by large companies and bust
ness houses they may be returned to-
the signers by processes of exchange.
They have answered the purpose IS
well as if they had bore a stamp bI9t
dhe government is deprived of its
revenue. Tho amount of money Uncle
Sam has lost in this MARINER, says Mr..
Clpllcm. is much more than would be
guessed.

E w. Gillett received a LITER yes

the man and when he went to the de-
pot with him he found that his trunk
was but half filed with clothing. He
suggested that the trunk should take
on some ballast and started to stuff it
with old papers. But he changed his
mind. He happened to think that
those people in Sweden might be in
need Of reading matter. Most of them
couldn1c read English, so he would
send some illustrated literature and
probably they would take enough in
terest n it to have the matter trans
lated. He told his plans to an en-

trunk filed with illustrnted pamphlets
pertaining to the features of the Salt

THE YAQUl AFFAIR
And The Consequent Perturbation at
NogaIeS, Arizona.

Ever since the Yaquis made a de-
scent on Nogales three years ago 'shis
month the people of the Line city have
been little sk.ttish about that rest
less and warlike tribe. The present
Yaqui trouble which began couple OF
weeks ago in the extreme soU1hern
part of Sonora did not create much
alarm in Nogales, for the rebellion was
more than 400 miles away. Besides,
the NogaIese had internal wars of
their own and they didn't care whether
the Yaqui rebellion kept or not.
But yesterday they were brought
face 20 face with the horrors OF war.
Four Mexican soldiers arrived from
the north with passes from the presl-
dent of the United States, the gov
ernors of one state and two territories
and the silent acquiesceuce OF all the
sheriffs between Ell Paso and Benson.
The soldiers had two mitraiIerseS and
no end of ammunition for them. At
the sight of these military prep3ra-
tions the NOgaleSe promptly recognized
an existing conCition of war and
forgot all about their own internecine
struggle.
The Associated Press correspondent
yesterday reflected the feeling at No
gales, and described the earth shaking
with the tramp of armed men coming
across the country on foot from Chi
huahua and Durango. The situation
was rendered thesmore narrowing by
the circumstance that Yaqui laborers
on this side of the line had crossed
back, presumably to join their blood
thirsty brethren in the south.
Later in the day the correspondent
said that the mayor of Nogales had
telegraphed Governor Murphy re-
guessing him to have the war depart
ment to send a troop of cavalry from
Huachuca to guard the border. Tint
tIegram has been delayed in transmits
sion. At a late hour il had not been
received at the executive chambers.

not be shipped east it worrd b i'm
practical for them to be sent to Cali

with Texas ticks. Texas cattle may
be shipped in without danger but it
would be folly to ship in feeders from
here. because they would soon die
This WAS :r;ed last year with disas-
trOUs results by J. w. Sullivan. But
it is safe to send in fat cattle, for they
are slaughtered soon after their arri-
val ard anyhow .he risk is with the
purchaser and nU5 with the shipper.
Mr.. Sullivan's purpose in sending
fceGIerS- was to nave Them falttened
when they could be shipped to Kansas
City. That was done when feed wa:
scarce in Arizona. Others tried it but
the results is thar there will never be
feeders sent to California, unless con-
ditions have changed.
There is not likely to be heavy ship
n9ents from Texas to California next
fall and California viii depend for its
sur ply largely on Arizona. The de-
manI will be greater on account of
the opeIdng of the San Joaquin Valley

For some years no saloon was licensed
in the community, but the drug stores
in due time became notorious as Illicit
liquor-selling resorts. so that many be-
gan TO advocate the policy of licensing
the sale of alcoholic beverages. making
the usual plea that thus the business
could be regulated" This view pre-
vailed and two saloons were establish

make them afraid On the other hand
the saloons from the start have done a
thriving trade, no one seeming to care
particularly whether they obeyed the
law or not. Hence under the new re-
gime there is no better regulation of
the traffic than there was under the old
policy of mo license" while at the
same time the trade in whskey and
beer. lawful and unlawful taken to-

count by millions. His butcheries are

to hurry the dishonored hulk away into
