WAR STAMP TAX
Is NOW OFF.
Many Articles Relieved of the
Necessity of the
Burden.

!
The war stamp tax ceased yesterday at
midnight The revenue on many food
and wear products which the United
States government imposed upon the Am.
erican taxpayers since the commence
ment of the Spanish war, has practically
become a dead letter, and the leftover
stamps can now be redeemed. The re-
ouirement that revenue stamps be afhx-
ed to bank checks, drafts, shipping bills
and other paper mediums of exchange,
has become a thing of the past and COM
mercial men, bankers and capitalists are
now relieved of a vexatious burden. NO
more will the maker of check be COM
PEELED to put his stamp on his paper De-
fore giving it to the payee.
The great sums of money which were
raised by the government to prosecute
its war against Spain, maintain its arm
ed occupancy of Cuba, and subsequently,
to quen the Filipino insurrectlon, were
raised by the lightest tax possible on the
greatest number of articles, rather thaii
by heavy taxation upon a lesser NUMBER.
The result was the ingathering OF mil
lions of dollars each year until during
the recent session of Congress II was
decided that a sufficient amount nao
been rendered unto Caesar" Forty MIL
lions of dollars per annum was the sum
which Congress decided upon to dispense
with in the maintenance Of American
supremacy in it's new possessions, and
the creating of standing army of not
less than 5000 soldiers. as against the
