SPECIAL BANK TAXES.
A Recent Ruling by Commissioner
Yerkes

j. w. 9erkes, commissioner of in
ternal revenue: has promulgated a de-
cision holding that bank beginning
Eusiness during the year ending June
80, 1901, is not required to pay a spe-
cial tax on its capital for this year.
Under the new law going into effect
July /, 1901, bank then or thereafter
beginning business must pay the spe-
cial tax reckoned on its capital "at
the time of commencing business. .
Following is the decision in full:
Treasury Department.
Office of Commissioner of Internal
Revenue.
Washington, d. c., March Z, 1901.
Sir:-In reply to your letter of the
.21st ultimo, you are hereby advised
that bank beginning business during
the current year, and not having been
in business during the preceding ifs
cal year cannot, under the law at pre-
sent in force be required to pay spe-
cial tax reckoned on it's capital for
this year.
Under the law going into effect July
4, 1901, it is expressly provided that,
lin case of bank then, or thereafter
beginning business (not having been
in business in the preceding fiscal
year), the special tax of the bank
shall be reckoned on it's capital "at
the time of commencing business"
Respectfully,

WILL BUY BACK STAMPS.
Government Says 1t Will Redeem Rev
enue Stamps After July 1.


Washington, March 1s.-The inter-
nal revenue department has issued the
following statement:
'All documentary and proprietary
revenue stamps in the hands of pur-
chasers on and after July /, 1901, will
be redeemed by the government under
the provisions of the act of May ~,
1900. Such stamps should be present
ed for redemption by the owners
thereof to the collector of internal rev.
enue from whom they were purchased,
who will supply the applicant with
necessary forms and instructions for
the preparation of his claim.
5'1t is probable that regulations will
be prepared and issued providing for
the redemption of imprinted documents
airy stamps without requiring the de-
struction of the checks or drafts on
which they were imprinted"
The amount of stamps which prob
ably will be offered for redemption on
and after July /, cannot be calculated
with any degree of accuracy, but the
officials most familiar with the subject
estimate that the classes of stamps
for documents, checks, ETC., from
which the tax was entirely removed,
the redemptions may aggregate 81 ,5OO,-
900, possibly a little less. This esti-
mate is based on the assumption that
the public will have on hand on July ]
one months supply.
The articles upon which the tax was
reduced represent much larger sum-
| but in these cases the redemption will
be in the nature of an exchange, althc
those stamps, like the others, probab
| ly will be redeemed in cash. The
other stamps made to conform to the
reduction in the rate of tax will be
Immediately issued so that the net
loss to the government will not be
very large.

Iowa Summer School for Library
TRAINING.
]. WI Yerkes, Commissioner


The Iowa State Library Commission
takes pleasure in announcing library
school as department of the summer
session of the State University at
Iowa City, under the auspices of the
commission. This will be six
weeks course, from June II to July 81.
This course is undertaken because
of a desire to raise the standard of
librarianship in Iowa, and make it
possible for the ambitious library
worker to acquaint herself with mod
ern library methods.
1t is intended for the librarians of
the smaller libraries, and for those
definitely appointed to library posi-
tions, who wish to prepare for their
work. 1t is in no sense offered as a
substitute for the full course of one
of the regular library schools, but is
given for those who feel their lack
of knowledge of modern library meth
DDS aud have not the time or means
to attend a library school. By secur-
ing q leave of absence for six weeks
they can in a brief, systematic course,
such as is planned, gain a broader
view OF the work as whole The
aim will be to give as thoro course
of technical library training as can be
com pressed into six weeks of close
work. In all cases where the subject
admits, instruction will be accompan.
led by practice work which will be
carefully revised and criticised

YOUNG GIRL ASSAULTED.

A young girl was brutally assaulted
in the high school yard Sunday night.
She was knocked down and dragged
nearly 200 feet from the sidewalk up

about 10 o'clock in the evening. After
the miscreant had struck the girl she
swooned, and he probably afraid of
fatal consequences fed, leaving her
