ABOLITION OF STAMP TAX.
MEMORIAL PRESENTED FROM NEW
YORK MERCHANTS.
Upon shipments by Express. the
burden of which They ThInk
should lie Paid by Companies


WASHINGTON. April IT, - Chairman
Payne. or the house committee on ways
and means. today received memorial
from the Merchants Association OF New
York which VIII he presented 20 the COM
mittee tomorrow. Il is an appeal for the
abolition Of the stamp taxes on express
shipments. railroad and steamboat ship
menis and kilograms The petitioners
state that they represent i.sN business
firms in New York city. giving employ
ment 70 several hundred thousand wage
earners abeside a nonresident membership
Of $1,000 were business firms distributed
throughout the United States The me-
mortal complains at considerable length OF
the Oppressive charges" exacted by eX-
press companies. speaking Of them IN
strong terms as "mcnopolies" OF quasi
public function. beyond tho reach OF COM
petition or the control OF the interstate
commerce commission. TO which other
common carriers are subjected.
IL is stated that charges exacted by the
express companies are ruinous TO certain
classes Of mercantile business, and that 10
this the express companies add the stamp
tax. placing IL on the shipper with the
sanction Of the supreme court.
In this connection the petition says
''The express charges upon shipments IN
some cases equal the value OF the goods.
In an average of several thousand cases
collected by the association the express
charges were more than the profit upon
the article shipped and We're found to
average in the classes OF goods most ire
quently shipped by express from per
cent. to 10 per cent. of the value.
"Our Investigations have shown wide
Determinations in the charges imposed;
favored classes OF shippers who are per-
mitted lesser rates than other classes;
cumulative charges: differing charges for
Identical service. and other variations, the
effect OF which Is destructive"
The petitioners in conclusion ask that
the stamp tax on express shipments be
either abolished or removed from the ship
per and placed in lump sum on the eN-
press companies. and they further request
the abolition of the stamp tax on railroad
and steamship shipments and on tele-
grams.

the federal placer laws. 1t Is evident tnat
the "power-of-attorney' fiction IS woven
through the so-called deed.
Title 10 Tide Lands Impossible.
In the matter of the six twenty-acre
beach locations there cannot exist the
shadow OF a title inasmuch as the claims
are recorded from the low tide line across
the beach No requirement of title to
beach or tide lands has been possible. and
particularly is this true respecting those
lands lying between high and low iide
lines. The mining OF the beaches at the
time these six locations are supposed to
have beer made vas regulated by the
miners association, and they restricted
themselves TO thirty feet ench along the
shore line. II is absurd. and fraud In
the face of IT, for anyone to convey title
to twenty acres Of Cape Nome placer
claim that includes tide lands. And what
is more surprising IN the transaction Is
that officials trained In the government
service and congressman presumably IA
mliar with the laws should assent TO be-
come promoters OF mining property so
manifestly fictitious.
