Mind Your Stamps.
The stamp taxes provided in lbs war
revenue HU will go into effect July 1,
and it would be well for everybody to
become familiar with them before that
time, as penaltiss are provided for
failure to affix the proper stamp to pa
pers and documenta which are to be
taxed nnder the new law.
Let it be remembered that each
bank check or draft muat bear a
stamp. So moat every bill of lading,
mortgages, conveyances, leaaaa, powers
of attorney, warehouse receipts, tele
graph messages sod express packages.
In every case the stamp must be affix
ed and the person affixing it muat
cancel it by writing across its face his
initials and the dale.
The tax act provides that if any in
strument or document aoecified as
subject to a tax stamp ia left unstamp
ed “with intent toevade the provisions
of thio act,” the offender shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and
upon conviction aball be fined not ex
ceeding SSO, or impriaoned not exceed
ing six months, or both.
It will be difficult to prove that the
stamp was left off with intention to
evade the law, but failure to affix the
stamp will in many cases lead to an
noyance by tbs authorities, and may
involve coots in a United State’s com
missioner’s court.
Another provision of the law ia that
“such instrument, document, or paper
not being stamped according to law
shall be deemed invalid and of no ef
fect.’’
Thia provision is especially impor
tant i’n real estate transactions. A
deed to real estate for which the con
sideration exceeds SIOO and does not
exceedssoo must bear a 50 cent stamp,
and there must be a similar stamp for
each additional SSOO.
The failure to affix the proper num
ber of stamps will invalidate the deed.
Each promissory note for more than
|IOO must bear a SO cent stamp, and
without iC there might be some diffi
culty in collection.
The government has wisely given
the people two weeks in which to be
come familiar with tbo various pro
visions of the tax act, and by July 1
•very intelligent citixen ought to
know just what is required of him
under tbis law —Atlanta Journal.
