The War Revenues.

An important feature of the report con-
s1sts of number of amendments recon-
mended to be made to the war revenue
act. The clause of the law which perhaps
has given more trouble in its administra-
, ton than any other is that which requires
tax of ten cents on Certificate of any
description required by law not otherwise
specified in the act" It is recommended
that this paragraph be abolished The
greater part of such certificates, says the
report, are necessarily issued by federal.
state or municipal officers, and the inter
nal revenue bureau has ruled that where
such certificates were issued in the exer-
else of functions strictly belonging to a
state in its ordinary governmental or tax
ing capacity they were exempt from tax.
In number of states, however, the Off
GERS have maintained that all certificates
issued by them were exempt because re-
quired by state laws, and have declined to
affix stamps.
Receipts given for withdrawing deposits
from banks other than savings banks, says
the report. should be taxed. Receipts do
not require stamp under the law, and
1t was found impossible to rule that when
a depositor went to a bank personally and
withdrew his deposit, or a portion of it,
by rendering receipt for the same, that
such receipt was any more taxable than
any other receipt. AS a result, the use
of receipts in lieu of bank checks in this
manner is constantly increasing. '.Of
course says the report, this is an eva
sion of the tax, but to evade the tax in
a lawful manner cannot be prevented =
A number of other amendments looking
to the administration of the law in re-
gard to distilleries, tobacco manufacturers,
ETC., are included in the report.
