One Troublesome Practice Lessened by
 the War Revenue Tax

''The war tax has It's drawbacks, re> marked the cashier in a large stock yards concern, but it is blessing to q man in my position. I never knew to what extent the habit of making small bank checks had spread until I saw a contractor pay off his laborers one Saturday night in cheeks. l made inquiry, and found that it was com mon practice not only with him, but many others who hired great bodies of men. The latter didn't like 1t, of course, because they were obliged to cash the checks at the nearest gin mill, which meant loss to them. because they had to treat. A contractor who made practice of issuing small ehecks told me frankly that in the old days. when it was necessary to face each check with a 2-cent internal revenue stamp, he made as few checks as poss sible The war tax having included bank checks the habit of issuing small checks has practically been discon- tinued.

The percentage Of raised checks is 65 on sums below s10. Another reason for the opposition to small checks is that they bother the bank authorities.
