SCHEDULE OF STAMP DUTIES. REVISED AND CORRECTED TO DATE. STAMP DUTIES UNDER SCHEDULE B. Stamp Duty. BANK CHECK, draft, order, or voucher for the payment of any sum of money whatever drawn upon any bank, banker, or trust company, at sight or on demand.... BILL OF EXCHANGE (foreign), or letter of credit If drawn in sets of three or more, for every bill of And for every additional $100, or fractional part CANCELLATION. In all cases where adhesive stamps are used for denoting the tax upon an instrument, the person or party using or affixing them must so affix them that the entire surface of each and every stamp shall be exposed to view, and must cancel them by writing or imprinting upon each stamp with ink the initials of his name, and the date (year, month, and day) on which the same is attached or used, or by cutting and canceling the same by a machine which shall affix the date, and so cut and deface the stamp as to render it manifestly unfit for re-use, and at the same time shall not so deface the stamp as to prevent its denomination and genuineness from being readily determined, When the stamps are printed upon checks, etc., so that in filling up the instrument the face of the stamp is, and must necessarily be, written across, no other cancellation will be required. PENALTIES. A penalty of $50 is imposed upon every person who makes, signs, or issues, or who causes to be made, signed, or issued, any paper of any kind or description whatever, or who accepts, negotiates, or pays, or who causes to be accepted, negotiated, or paid, any check, draft, order, or voucher drawn upon any bank, banker, or bank company for the payment of any sum of money whatever, without the same being duly stamped, or having thereupon an adhesive stamp for denoting the tax chargeable thereon, canceled in the manner required by law, with intent to evade the provisions of the revenue act. (Sec. 3422 R. S.) A penalty of $50 is imposed upon every person who fraudently makes use of an adhesive stamp to denote the duty required by the revenue act, without effectually canceling and obliterating the same in the manner required by law. (Sec. 3422 R. S.) No bank check, draft, or order required by law to be stamped, which is issued without being stamped, shall be admitted or used in evidence in any court until a legal stamp denoting the amount of tax is applied thereto, as provided by law. It is not lawful to record any instrument, document, or paper, required by law to be stamped, or any copy thereof, unless a stamp or stamps of the proper amount have been affixed and canceled in the manner required by law; and such instrument or copy and the record thereof are utterly null and void, and can not be used or admitted as evidence in any court until the defect has been cured, as provided in section 3422 R. S. GENERAL REMARKS REFERRING TO SCHEDULE B. Revenue stamps may be used indiscriminately upon any of the matters or things enumerated in Schedule B, except proprietary and playing card stamps, for which a special use has been provided. Postage stamps can not be used in payment of the duty chargeable on instruments. The law does not designate which of the parties to an instrument shall furnish the necessary stamp, nor does the commissioner of internal revenue assume to determine that it shall be supplied by one party rather than by another; but if an instrument subject to stamp duty is issued without having the necessary stamp affixed thereto, it can not be recorded, or admitted, or used as evidence in any court, until a legal stamp or stamps, denoting the amount of tax, shall have been affixed as prescribed by law, and the person who thus issues it is liable to a penalty if he omits the stamps with an attempt to evade the provisions of the internal revenue act. STAMP DUTIES UPON ARTICLES IN SCHEDULE C. Stamp Duty. PROPRIETARY MEDICINES AND PREPARA- Exceeding twenty-five and not exceeding fifty cents Exceeding one dollar, for every additional fifty Officinal preparations, and medicines mixed or FRICTION MATCHES.
