Ike Commissioner of Internal
Revenue has made a ruling in re-
to the ion of
stamps that will interest
man the country.
He all cases where a
documentary stamp of the
of cents or any urger
denomination shall lie used for tie-
noting any tax imposed by the act
of June IS, 1898, the person using
the same shall, in
to writing or stamping there-
on, with ink. the initials of his
name and date when affixed, mu-
said stamp by cutting three
parallel incisions lengthwise
through the stamp, beginning not
more than one fourth of an inch
from one end thereof and extend-
to within of an inch
of the other end. Where such
stamp is by cutting or
perforating in any author-
by existing regulations as
aforesaid, the herein
provided will not lie required.
This provision shall take effect

that this State has found a j
