WILL LICK FEWER STAMPS.
Hundreds Annually Will Be Saved by
the Hew War Tax List.
The new war tax list which will go
into effect after next Monday will
make quite a saving in different lines
of business. It would be hard to gel
anything like a correct estimate of
the amount of war tax paid in Abilene
since the tax was put on. The rev
enue stamps purchased and used In
this town tor checks, mortgages and
other papers, telegrams, etc, will
gregate $5,000. People who are only
occasionally called upon to use rev
enue stamps would not suppose that
they counted up very fast. A few
cents a day in checks or telegrams do
not amount to much. . Taking the
whole business of the town, however,
it soon amounts to high figure, at
least one or two thousand dollars per
year, for the purposes mentioned
above. What the entire amount for
all purposes would be cannot be esti
mated very well. At any rate it is
certain that the revised tax list will
amount to a large figure.
Since the war tax has been on the
people of Abilene have paid out about
$900 alone for telegrams sent although
it takes 100 telegrams to use up $1 in
revenue stamps. When the matter
of bank chocks is considered it will
be seen that even the 1-cent revenue
stamps soon run up into a big ac
count.
