Bsnknotes appear in much the same
form throughout the world and have
always done so except in China, where
the earliest note was made Of canvas.

era IL was more like a tsblecloth
than banknote, its length being
about two meters, or six feet six inch
es. This form Of note was not very
convenient when large sums were con-
cerned, 80 later tho note wac printed
on parchment, and all other forms Of
money were suppressed One emperor
issued notes representing more than
three thousand millions But the mon
ey was never popular. and gradually
the notes were retired.

PORK PIE AMAzES FISH
NO TREASURY WATCH DOG
BARKED ABOUT IT.
Yet $4,000, 900 Was Divided Up in
a Jiffy to Surprise of New
York Representative.

Representative Hamilton Fish OF New
York is amazed at the ease with which
the House of Representatives, when SO
disposed, can put through bill appro-
priating millions of dollars.
He was talking about the river and
harbor BILL which carries about an
aggregate of si2.OoO.OOO. He commented
on the power of pork and on the 81
lence of the we'll known watch dogs of
the Treasury, who are wont to bark
fiercely over an expenditure of $l.04.
II would like to see map" said Mr.
Fish to Star reporter. showing
how much pork each member of the
House is getting out Of that barrel for
his district l observed Monday that all
our regular watch dogs, like Tawney and
Mann, were entirely silent while debates
on this bill were cut off and the thing
rushed through.
1T is remarkable how this bill was re-
ported to the House Friday, and by spe
ciai arrangement rushed to passage Mon
day with only two hours genera debate
allowed on it. l don't remember just how
many hours we devoted the other day to
the matter of making little app opria-
ton of $4,000 for an art commission for
the District of Columbia. But here was a
measure appropriating $i2.0H.OO0 and
committing the government to untold
millions more, and we are allowed only
two hours debate ON 1t.
1T shows the power of the House or
ganiZation to put thing through when
it wants to do so. only hope the mem
beers will display the same hurried anx-
ietv and unanimity when the important
measures of President Taft come up for
passage.
