Stamp Tax on Stock.

NEW YORK, Oct, 2S.-It has just
been learned, says the Herald, that the
indictment against George C. Thomas, a
broker, for refusing to pay the stamp
tax on sales of stock has been dis
missed. The Government, fearing, it is
said, to try the case, which involved
the constitutionality OF a section of the
war revenue law, failed TO appear on
the day set for the trial. Bankers and
brokers have followed the case with
great interest. Mr.. Thomas broker of
the Consolidated Exchange, was advis-
ed by his lawyers last spring that the
stamp tax on sales of shares of stock at
the rate Of two cents per 800 of face
value was not constitutional. Acting
on his lawyers advice, the broker stop
ped paying the tax in May and de-
termined to test the law. An Indictment
was found against him by the United
States Grand Jury or October 9th.
