FEDERAL INCOME
TAX DECLARATION.

/" One error Of importance enough to
be corrected Is made in the interview
, with H. L. Spalding on Saturday re
garding the relations of banks to the
federal income tax.
Where ii was stated thta the owner
Of bond coupon presented at bank
for payment or deposit must declare
that he does not now claim, with
respect to the income represented by
the interest, the benefit OF q deduc-
ton" etc. it should have been that
he. does or does not now claim" etc,
the affirmative or the negative being
used. according to which the owner
wishes to declare. As printed, the
passage would indicate that the certi-
lcate Is required only where the own.
'er does not claim this exemption The
word now is a safeguard to the
owner, as at the time Of certifying he
may not know what dividends are
coming to him. -
