This has brought a storm of protest from dairy companies buying milk or cream and issuing many checks, and from employers of labor paying by check. Senator Reed of Pennsylvania is authority for the statement that the law has no thought of taxing pay- ments of this character and where many payments are to be made, the tax can be avoided by issuing orders of the following character: The John J)oe Dairy Co.
