Revenue Stamps.

For the information of the pub
lie the Internal Revenue Bureau has
Issued statement regarding the
war revenue reduction act which
becomes operative July 1, 1901,
and which the Treasury officials
are actively making preparations
to carry into effect. "All docu-
mentary and proprietary revenue
stamps in the hands of purchasers
on and after July 1, 1901, will be
redeemed by the government under
the provisions of the act of May
IL, 1900" Such stamps should be
presented for redemption by the
owners thereof to the Collector OF
Internal Revenue, from whom they
we're purchased, who will supply
the applicant with necessary forms
and Instructions for the prepare.
ton of his claim. 1t is probable
that regulations will be prepared
and issued providing for the re-
demption of imprinted document,
airy stamps without requiring the
destruction of the checks or drafts
on which they are imprinted. No
definite calculation can be made as
to the sum total of the stamps
which probably will be sent in for
red smption on and after July l,
1901.

Not Speedy Enouah.

washington, April s. = Secretary
Long was informed that the torpedo
boat Perry built by the Union iron
works of San Francisco failed to meet
contract speed requirements on her
recent official trail. Under the con-
tract the vessel was required to deVel-
op speed of 20 knots an hour, but the
best she could do on her trial run was
1872 knots per hour. The action of the
department has not. yet been deter.
mined, but the vessel will probably be
accepted subject to slight deduction
from the contract price.

has always been coupled with the
question of personal rights, BY

iniquity of which our Revolution

ton without representation" So
if we read the history of any civil
lied government we will find that
the problem of how to distribute
the burdens of taxation so as to ex-
ouse none and Cypress none, has
always been preplexing one.
