The action of President Brown of the
First National Bank yesterday i'm ruling
out proxies partly because they were
not stamped with the war-revenue tax
of the act of '9S, led to inquiries this
morning by a number of people who
supposed that the tax on proxies had
been repealed by the act of 1901. This
appears to be the case. The new law.
amending the act that was passed to
provide war revenue, contains nothing
about a stamp tax on proxies.
In the act Of June 49, 1898. there APP
peared in schedule A. comprising a list
OF stamp and other taxes the following:
20. Power of Attorney or proxy for
voting at an election of officers for any

public cemeteries, 1910"
On March 2, 1901, Congress passed an
act abolishing many of the taxes that
mad been imposed for war purposes.
section provided that schedule A be
amended so as to read as follows. -
Then followed a long list. in which
neither powers Of attorney nor proxies
appear Twenty eight different stamr
taxes are enumerated. but there is
nothing about the proxy or power of
attorney tax.

Another ground on which it is claim
