the tax upon checks or orders, etc ,
drawn on time, as well as those payable

not being within the intuit of tho law
to tax a public treasury.
1 will add with tefcreuca to some
other questions, frequently proposed to
this office, that orders for dividends ore
subject to the tax if drawn for n definite
and certain sum, but not otherwise.
An ordinary certificate of deposit,
used in the ordiuary manner, is not
