ECHO OF STAMP TAX
RULING BY COMMISSIONER YEREES
REGARDING CHECKS WITH
IMPRINTED STAMPS
WANT THEIR CHECKS BACK
But Under the Law They Cannot BE
Returned - Matter VIII BE
Brought to Attention
OF Congress.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Commissioner
ferkes, of the internal revenue bureau.
today gave out statement regarding the
return TO bankers of imprinted checks
and drafts that have been sent to his bu-
rtau in order that the stamp tax thereon
might be refunded, in pursuance Of the
act Of March 2, 1901 The banks and other
owners of imprinted checks and drafts
requested that the internal revenue bu-
reau cancel each check in such a manner
as TO render its further use possible and
then return the same to its original
owner.
They were informed that under the ex-
isting law It seemed impossible TO comply
with these requests. The commissioner
says that the extent to which these
checks and drafts are being sent In for
redemption shows that large pecuniary
loss VIII fall upon banks and owners IL
the checks and drafts are destroyed after
refund is made for the stamps thereon
The most careful consideration" he
says, has been given to the question as
to the right OF this department TO make
refund for the value of the stamps and
then cancel and return the checks and
drafts. The conclusion reached is that
under the present existing laws, 1t is not
possible to return these instruments to
the owners; but this department VIII pro-
ceed rapidly as possible to consider these
claims and redeem and make Fefund to
the owners of the amounts due by reason
OF the stamps imprinted; will cancel these
instruments, so as to allow their future
use; will store away the various checks,
and viii request congress at its session
In December next to pass law under
which 1t win be possible and legal to re-
turn these drafts and checks to the
claimants and owners. 1t is understood
that the banks win also make the same
request, and in this way it is believed
speedy action may be had"

Regard to the Case Recently
Argued before

ROCK ISLAND, H., Aug 12-Judge

geries. Judge Harvey arrived at the
home of his father-in-law yesterday aft
ernoon where he expects to rest and en-
joy a vacation with his family, Mrs.
Harvey and their three children having
been here on a visit since June 12

the fact that motion for a new trial in
the case is stiA pending before him. and
the matter to which he would otherwise
refer has been embodied in the docu-
ments filed by the plaintiff in support
of the motion.

SPLIT IN WISCONSIN.
Republican Factions in the Badger
State HOpeIessly Divided.

MADISON, Wis, Aug. 1.-THE political
situation In Wisconsin Is as chaotic as
could be imagined. The Republican par
ty is seemingly hopelessly divided, nor
does perfect harmony exist in the Demo-
cratic ranks. With the nominating con-
VentionS still a year distant uniformity
of party opinion is naturally not to pe
expected but even at this early date
number of interesting features are pre-
sented.
The two factions of the Republican
party are ait war over what are known
as the hobbies of Gov. La Toilette, pri-
mary election, vast increases in corpora
tion taxes and the abolition of nomiEat-
ing conventions. The party has long been
struggling with the political ambitions of
the present governor, but open warfare
did not break out until his allies and HIM
self absolutely refused to listen to any
overtures at compromise in the debate
over the StevenS-La Toilette primary
election bill at the last session of the
state legislature. At that time the stall
warts, as the anti-La Toilette people are
known, succeeded in passing a substitute
to the governors bill. In his veto mes
sage La Toilette denounced his opponents
and their political ideas and methods in
such scathing terms that the senate i'm
mediately passed a resolution censur.ng
the chief executive for his message. From
that day to the present the breach in the
party has become constantly wider and
prospect of harmonizing the two factions
has become hOpeleSSly small. Last week
the stalwarts held a conference in Mil
Waukee, attended by nearly all the anti
La Toilette members of the legislature
at which plans were perfected looking
toward the defeat of the present governor
in the next convention. Many old war
horses of the Republican party in Wis
consin, among whom is Judge c. W.
keyeS, postmaster of Madison look at
the situation in the party with feeling
akain to despair.
The Democratic division Is upon no
question of so-called reform, nor is the
personal ambition of any particular per-
son at present an issue. Madison Demo-
Gratis have met and declared that ex-
Congre ssman Burr W. Jones, of this
place, is the ideal candidate The Mil-
waukee Democrats are eager in their de-
mands that Mayor Rose be the party
standard bearer There is no bitterness
apparent, however, and both the Jones
men and the followers of the Milwaukee
mayor are looking forward to ousting the
observation-disclosures and La Toilette
men alike-one year from next November

1t looks as If the decision of the su-
preme court in the suit of ex-Gov. John
S. Pillsbury against the city, IN the mat
ter OF the sewer assessm ent, is going to
cost the taxpayers Of Minneapolis at least
500, coo, if not $500, 900.
Under that decision, no property owner
can be assessed for a sewer or other To-
cal Improvement at a figure in excess of
the actual cost of such Improvement
This means that every property owner
who, during the past six years, has paid
any assessments on sewers and water
mains in excess of the actual cost there
of, is entitled to a rebate to that amount.
