Stamps must be affixed to premium notes aa well aa to the policies issued on such notes. The tax on a premium for a fire, acci dent, casualty, surety, glate glass or burglary policy la one-half of one per cent. When a fire Insurance policy la as signed or transferred, a new tax in pro portion to the unearned premium is re quired. Neither the so-called mortgage clause attached to a fire Insurance policy, nor Its cancellation or release requires ad ditional stamping. The tax on the premium of an ordi nary life policy ia eight cents per $100. In the case of an industrial, or weekly payment, insurance the tax Is 40 per cent, of the first weekly premium. Where there is a constant change of names, aa in railway installment in surance, each additional name is taxed in proportion to the tax on the whole originally, which ia half of one per cant. "When a policy of life insurance is assigned as collateral security for a locn exceeding $1,000 it should be stamped aa a pledge according to the amount of the debt secured, and not ac cording to the face of the policy." Fraternal organizations are exempt from the provisions of the law, but all other life insurance corporations are subject to the law, or at laast all that own leased real estate or nave other property from which an income is derived. The Internal revenue department re fuses to refund money paid for stamps canceled by mistake or to Issue new stamps in place of them. A similar rul ing is made in the case of the surrender of a policy newly issued, no matter whether the premium is to be returned or a new policy issued which will re quire stamping. In reply to a letter from Peoria, 111., Commissioner Scott says: A policy does not require a stamp until it is is sued or offered aa an insurance policy, and the insurance company may stamp a policy through its local agents as well as through its general agent or head pffice. If the company insists that the insured party pay the value of the stamp, it is not a matter which the in ternal revenue laws can deal with. It is a matter between the insurance com pany and the policy holder. A policy of insurance is not valid unless It beara the proper canceled revenue stamp." i Come and See ; The Pretty, New, j; ji Duck Suits, I fl al CdS-fa? and Piqua Suits. ;! l AT Mrs. M. u. Joyce.
