THIN DINE NOW
VITAL TO CUPID
Marriage Certificates Will Re-
quire Ten Cent Stamp
After Dec. 1.
NEW WAR TAX PROVISION
When Bride and Groom Buy License
in Future Must Purchase
Revenue Sticker.

A dime will purchase many things
from a pink lemonade at circus TO
a box of shoe polish. But seldom has
the thin one ever played the 1mpor-
tant part in marriages which 1t VIII
after Dec. 1. when the new war tax
levy goes into effect.
Now when the preacher admins
ters the blessing and the blushing
bride hangs onto the arm of the groom,
the latter will have to dig into his
jeans and find an extra dime TO give
to the preacher. That will be for the
certificate of marriage which the
preacher will give the couple. In 9TH
er words, the couple will have to pay
10 cents as an initial cost for the papy-
rus which will declare to the world
that they are man and wife.
But this 1O-cent stamp does not go
on the certificate issued by the county
clerk. The price for that remains the
same. The dime tax will not have
to be paid by every couple, it is claim
ed, but only in cases where certifi-
cate of marriage is asked by the groom
of the pastor. 1t is up to the groom.
If he wants the certificate, he must
pay the tax.
Different in Iowa.
In Dubuque, Iowa, there is some
question, however, as to whether the
marriage is valid, unless the stamp is
affixed to the certificate. The validity
of marriages performed after Dec.
may be called into question unless
10-cent revenue stamp is affixed to the
marriage certificate, is the contention
of a minister who has taken the matter
up with Louis Murphy, collector of in
ternal revenue for Iowa.
"The contention" the collector says,
'is hardly tenable one. The act of
Oct. %, commonly referred to as the
war revenue emergency act, requires
a stamp on certificates required by
law. A marriage certificate is one
such. However, when a license to
marry is issued by a clerk of court in
Iowa, two certificates are issued with
it. One of them is returned by the
officiating minister or magistrate to
the clerk of courts to become part of
a public record. The other is delivered
to the newlyweds. 1t is this certificate
which must bear a 10-cent revenue
stamp. The certificate returned to
the clerk requires no stamp"
