Letter to Mr.. Lacey.

The following is the letter forward
ed Saturday by the bankers of Ottum-
wa, it being supplementary to a tele-
gram sent to Mr.. Lacey Friday, a copy
of which was printed in the Courier
at the time. The letter is as follows:
"There can be no good reason for
leaving the stamp tax on bank checks,
which affects the whole business COM
munity, and is great annoyance to
every man that has to use check,
while all other interests are to be so
largely relieved from the war tax.
1--WE hope the house will not agree to
this wrong but show to the country
that they are more ready to legislate
for the good of all the people rather
than to favor corporate and beer in
terests which the senate seems now
so ready to do"

ic Request With Written Appeal.

The bankers of Ottumwa are in deep
earnest in their desire that the inter-
nal revenue be taken off bank checks,
and they are extremely anxious that
Congressman John F. Lacey do all
in his power to bring about the change
now under consideration in congress.
1t is understood that the house favors
the removal of the revenue from
checks, and that the opposition to the
change is to be met in the senate. AS
the house is nearer to the people than
the senate, all of the influence posi-
BILE is being brought to bear upon the
former body.
