CLAIMS The STAMP

McNaIIy Refuses to Affix One TO Bond

An extremely interesting point has
been raised by William NJ. p. Bowen,
counsel for John II. McNsliy, administra-
tor on the estate OF James McNally de-
ceased. in regard TO the necessity Of put
ting revenue stamps on bonds of admins

Mr. Bowen has applied 10 the appellate

the Judge OF the municipal court, MT NC
Nally SAYS Mr.. Field refused 10 receive
and record the same. owing 70 lhe hp-
sence Of a so cent revenue stamp thereon.
Mr. Field claimed that section OF
clause OF the act passed in amendmeh,
OF the act TO secure war revenue required
the stamp
Mr. McNally replied through his coun-
sci that the bond offered did not require
a stamp, as All the bond the amenusu
act required a stamp on was one or the
nature OF an indemnity bond, or one Tor
the payment Of money
J. w Yerkes, United states lnternai
revenue commissioner, was telegraphed 70
and his reply was that he believed the
legislation intended that bonds OF eNecu-
tors and administrators should have rev.
enue stamps.
This contention, Mr.. McNally claims,
cannot he correct, because IL was neces-
sary for him 10 give the bond To perform
the duties imposed on him by the muni-
cipal court. which is an agency OF the
judicial system Of the state OF Rhode ISL
and. and therefore a tax on its process Is
unconstitutional
III the commissioner view OF the law
is correct Mr.. McNally claims. the law
IS illegal. and void under section OF ar
ticle l OF the constitution OF the united

An Address to Taxpayers.


RATHDRUM, Idaho, Oct. 30.-To
the taxpayers of Kootenai County:
The Board of County Commission
ers realizing the urgent necessity of
providing more ard better roads in
our growing county have under dis
cussion ways and means whereby
we may obtain that end.
There is Law in our state au-
thorizlng the Board of County Com
missioners to levy special tax not
to exceed ten mills on the dollars
to be used in each road district;
when it is raised this tax is to the
roads what the special tax is to the
schools; is collected the same as
other taxes and can be paid in work
or cash. This tax if properly ex-
pended would in very short term
of years put our roads in good con-
dition, without which we cannot
expect TO become what nature in
tended us to be, one of the fore
most counties III our state. The
large immigration in the past year
has made such demands on our
road fund that we are unable TO
meet only the most urgent ones
and are beseiged with requests for
more and better roads, and in the
judgment of your Board this is
the proper course to pursue; it will
place the burden of taxation where
1T rightfully belongs. We might say
i'll this connection that all incor-
pOi ated cities and towns are ex-
empt from this TAX. This would
enable your Commissioners to as
sist the weaker districts out of the
general road fund and the richer or
more favored ones would be pro-
vided for by their special tax fund.
In this connection we would
further say in the judgment of your
Board that all Toll Ferries in our
county should be bought and con-
verified into Free Ferries as the most
of our county is already provided
with free ferries and bridges, the
expense of which is born by all
alike. The communities where
toll ferries exist are bearing more
of the burden of bridge tax than
their just share.
We would respectfully invite dis
cussion on this subject,
Most respectfully submitted,
BOARD of COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
