THAT ILLEGAL REVENUE TAX.

A few days ago we referred to the H.
legal assessment and collection. by
former Internal revenue collector, of
10 per cent tax on scrip issued by
number Of cooperative Institutions in
Utah We advised those firms which
have not yet received the money re-
funded by the government, TO make app
pllcaton to the secretary Of the treas
ury for the amounts Illegally collected,
with interest from the time Of the H.
legal collection. BY the courtesy OF
Senator J. l.. Rawlins we are able now
to present the act Of Congress which
was passed TO reimburse those institu-
lions. We give the full text of IL below.
IL win be seen that there is no provi-
sion In It for the payment OF interest.
The amounts appropriated for each in
stitutlon are named in detail These
sums can be obtained on application,
as we stated before.
The reason why we advised our
friends to apply for interest as well as
the principal, was because in the suits
entered to recover, z. c, M. I. and
Brigham city Coop, as we remember,
each recovered interest as well as prln-
clpal on the amount for which they
sued, We naturally supposed that the
Interest would be refunded by the
United states In all the other cases
of similar nature, However, it Is
evident from the text Of the act OF
Congress, that only the amounts IL
legally assessed and collected are pro-
yided for by legislation. The act is as
follows
BE Ii enacted by the Senate and House
Of Representatives, Of the United states
OF America in Congress assembled. Ihat
