instructions- rexu-din: the callection of the deficiency tax which goes into effect on Dec. 1 have been réceived at the office of the collector of Inuru.l revenue for this district, uduhqplhemhcdhuon of tax nmn- on manufactured articles and the rules for tax %ollection of tg:- phone and*telegraph messages. - the eancellation of stamps, the nstructions say: b Cancellation. S ‘The Section 8, Act of 22, l'lg,ro"”rmdu as follows: “That in- stead anconlfiont;ya}l:{tllfls a.lllld date, flxswmmp. on ‘the cles enu- merated in schedule B shall be 8o af- fixed on' the box, bottle or package that in opening the same, or using the contents thereof, the said stamp shall be effectually destroyed; and in de- faut !thlll 2 l&l:l to fha ua::‘e‘»::- fault be e - alty imposed for neglect to affix said stamp ‘as hereinbefore preacribed .In this act.” - - Section 22, however, authorizes the commissioner of internal revenue to preseribe euch method for the cancel- lation of stamps as he may deem ex- pedient in lleu of the method pre- scribed by the act. Perfumery, Cosmetics, Et. Under this authority, it is held that as to stocks of articles subject to tax * under schedule B—that is, perfumery, cosmetics and other toilet prepara- tions, chewing gum and substitutes therefor—now in the hands of manu- facturers and packed ready for ship- ment on orders not yet recelved, which stocks already packed in boxes or car- tons remain in their hands on Deec. 1, and it is impracticable to unpack the boxes or cartons for stamping without serious loss, the stamps cov- ering the entire contents of the con- talner may be fixed to the container and cancelled with the initials of the manufacturer, the month and the year. Goods Packed. ‘When goods have been previously ordered for delivery at a future date, and the same are already packed In shipping cases, to fill the order, and marked for shipment to the purchaser, such goods may be delivered to pur- chaser, without each article being stamped, provided that the purchaser is provided with proper stamps to at- tach to taxable articles when the case is opened. Retailers receiving goods in such boxes or cartons bearing stamps should retain the stamped container untll the contents are disposed of and will_be held liable for the tax on goods exposed for sale unstamped, un- less they are able to produce such stamped containers as evidence that the goods have been taxpaid by the manufacturers. p When Retailers Put Stamps On. Cased goods, which have been re- moved from the place of manufacture to depots or warehouses prior to Dec, 1, may be regarded as in the hands of the manufacturers and should be stamped by the retallers before being sold at retail. ‘Where goods are usually offered for €ale In small quantitles attached to dxwuy cards, stamps covering the tax all attached articles may be af- fixed to the cards. ‘Where several articles, all taxable, or some taxable and some untaxable, are packed in boxes for sale as en- tireties, the stamps covering the tax- eble contents .may be affixed to the box in such manner as to be broken g-n’""" the boxes. If the outer ngs in_ such cases are fancy conm.ineru which would be marred by attaching sthmps to covers, or which are of such character that it is im- practicable to attach the stamps so that they will be broken on opening the article for use, stamps may be af- fixéd to the side or to the bottom of the contatner. In all cases where stamps are so at- tached as to be broken when the arti- cle is used, cancellation is unneces- sn.la In all other cases eancellation of the stamps will be made by affixing inftials with month and year. On Individual Packages. Retallers who are required by law to l!t.mp all taxable articles in their possessign Dec. 1, or received stamped from lolesalers before offering them for sale at retail should in all cases where cable stamp the individual bottle, can, pot, carton or box usually sold lnd delivered to the customer. In cases e this is lmpmctlcablu the stamps may be affixed in one methods here outlined. Most Incenvenient Time, Without doubt this deficlency tax will go info opemtlon at the most in- convenient time of the year for re- tallers. Not early enough In the year to operate smoothly before the Christ- mas rush, the big manuyfacturers will bave much trouble in seeing that the articles shipped for the holiday trade are properly stamped, and the retail- ers who aiready have received large portions .of . their Christmas stock which are‘liable for tax, must suspend business op Dec. 1 to stamp each of the many articles which are displayed. According to the law it is illegal to make 2 single sale after the law goes into ofl:cl ‘without mxlng the stamp, and it is certainly bad business to sell nrm:lu on. Whfl stamps have been Telegraph and Telephone Messages. ‘The collection of the tax on tele- sents a peculiar phase.

Telerphone companies receiving messages to be retransmit- ted over the lines of a tel ph com- pany or telegraph com of tele. graph companies receiving ‘messages to be retransmitted over the lines or a telephone company will be regarded as the point where those messages: originate. In such cases the company retransmitting such messages will not be required to include the same in its monthly return. Where, however, a message sent directly over a telephone line is received directly over a tele- phone line is received directly from| the sender, the company receiving and transmitting the same will, in such case, be regarded as the point of col- lection. Method Left to the Company. Messages originating at automatic telephone stations, for each of which a charge of 15 cents or more was made, are subject to tax, and com- panies owning or operating such.sta- tions must include all such messages in their monthly returns. The method of collecting the tax from the senders of such messages is a matter wholly within the province of the compaufes receiving and transmitting the mes- sages. Franked Messages Not Exempt. All overtime telephone messages, where the initial rate is less than 15 cents, but the total charge, on account of the overtime, brings the charge of 15 cents or over, is subject to tax. Franked messages are not exempt from tax. Some Exemptions. Mesgages transmitted over private leased circuits and relating exclusive- ‘y to the business for which the cir- cuit was leased, are held to be ex- empt from tax. Messages concerning the affairs of the telephone or tele- graph companies, railroad messages of officers and employes of the federal and state governments are exempt from tax.
