ARTICLES THAT
 BEAR STAMP TAX
People Throughout Country Suffer Because of Federal
 Officials Delinquency.

Judging from newspapers from other parts of the state, Pine Bluff was not the only city in which busi- ness had difficulty in obtaining the new war tax stamps, to comply with tho law which went into effect at mid night of Monday. Other cities and some of them in other states had the same trouble.
 A largo quantity of all the necessary stamps was brought to Pine Bluff for local firms and business house yes terday morning, and it is believed now that everybody is supplied, just as it is believed everybody due 70 make payments has made them.
 Deputy Internal Revenue Collector Will R. Brcgdon announced yesterday that he has been instructed to remain in Pine Bluff another day, and to charge no penalty against persons who pay their stamp tax prior to his departure tonight for his headquar- ters at Little Rock. MT. Brogdon will spend the entire day today in the office of John H. Tucker, secretary of the Young Mems Progressige Business league, room 612, Citi~ens' bank build ing, to collect the tax and to give any information desired by business men. This gives Pine Bluff business men little grace, in which to "sguare themselves" with the federal authori- ties in the matter.
