Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 August 1905 — Stamp Tax For Deffcit. [ARTICLE]

Stamp Tax For Deffcit.

Senator Dick of Ohio, in Washington for a few days recently, took occasion to suggest a way to make up the deficit that has been worrying Secretary Shaw. He said: “I have come to the conclusion that about the best thing will be to impose the Spanish war revenue taxes on numerous articles, especially the stamp taxes, where the taxation is barely felt by the masses of the people. * * * I have not gone into the subject in detail, but my idea would be to affix a stamp tax on checks, stocks, bonds, legal papers, patent medicines and all such things.’*
