STAMP TAX ON
LOAN BUSINESS

Washinton, Nov. 11.-Under a rul-
ing by Solicitor Johnson of the treas
ury department. collections from the
war tax may be several million dol
lars in excess of the estimates made
by Congress- The new ruling will
require payment of the stamp tax on
all transactions of building and loan
associations throughout the United
States. II is said to affect more than
64O0 associations. having nearly g..
100000 members and handling annu
ally about $1,750, 100000. The opinion
of the solicitor differs from the opin
ion of the collector of internal reve-
nue. and an assistant attorney general
interpreted the revenue law of 1898.
The language in both the present law
and that of Spanish war days is held
by loan association officers here TO
be identical. 1t is probable that an
effort will be made by the associa-
tions to fight the present construc
ton of the law.

The decree issued by Gen. Carranza

In official circles, generally, 1t was
believed that while the President
