STAMP TAX ON BANK CHECKS

less onerous than other taxes but as to its being

II I place my own money in bank for safe

however small. for the privilege Of drawing out my
own money? II / put my money IN my own cash

that debt why should the government then receive

one million dollars # pays the same tax Where
is the equity in that?
Other taxes are imposed OF the theory that the
transaction which the is paid IS one in
which the parties interested procuring some
benefit or reaping proht Of some kind; but it Is
possible for to conceive how. when ask

I grant bank check tax can be collected with
great case. that the amount asked for on each
check IS very small small to disaTm most
