According to newspaper item,
special revenue agents are after stage
drivers and mail carriers, who also
make business of carrying packages
and freight. The agents hold that as
such drivers are common carriers, they
are required to give receipts on which
the shipper must place a One-cent
revenue stamp. Agents in some
places have required stage drivers to
make oath as to how many packages
they have carried since the law went
into effect in July, 1898. They are
held responsible to the government
for an amount equal to one cent on
each package carried. Drivers can fall
back on the shippers, but as they have
generally kept no record of shipments,
the loss will fall upon them.
