Uncle Sam Tried Them Severai iines'
but Without Success.
Perforated coins were never In IA
vor in the United States, though yari-
GUS efforts were made to popularize
them. The first United States coin
with a perforated center was gold
dollar issued In 1S49, which had
square hole in the middle OF the
planchet. 1t was the forerunner of the
gold dollar issued by the United States
mint In 1849 The coin was engraved.
not struck from dies
The next United States coin with a
perforated center was issued from the
Philadelphia mint in 1850 and was or
the denomination of / cent. 1t was
about the size of the bronze cent now
I'm use. At that time the large, old
fashioned copper cent was In general
circulation, and the perforated coin re-
ceiyed the name of ring cent" The
designer reasoned that by means OF
the perforation the cent could be dis
tinguished by touch from the dime.
Another perforated cent issued the
same year showed two rings In the
field with the words, Gent, One-tenth
Silver" The reverse showed an olive
wreath around the perforation and the
words, Omitted States Of America"
The mint authorities undertook to
design coin that would answer all
requirements, and the pieces were
struck with both pierced and perfect
centers in silver, copper, nickel and
composition metal, six varieties In all,
without counting the various metals,
but none of the designs was favored
by the government authorities, and
consequently they were never put In
general circulation.
The only gold half dollar ever pro-
duced at the United States mint was
struck in 1852 1t had a perforation
in the center, and the diverse showed
a wavy circle around the perforation,
with the inscription, UNITED States Of
America" around the border. The re-
verse was blank. The coin was ex-
actly half the weight of the dollar.
Regardless of the generally accepted
idea the gold fifty cent pieces with
which the public is familiar were not
an issue of the United States, but were
manufactured by California jewellers.
There has not been any attempt to in
troduce the perforated coin in the
United States since 1884 In that year
two pieces Of the denominations of ]
and 5 cents were issued at the Phila-
delpIia mint-Harper's Weekly.

material help in enabling the citizens
of Idaho to realize the exact situation
which confronts us with reference to
the problem of taxation.
How to Reduce Taxes.
Taxes cannot be reduced by law
except by arbitrarily reducing the
leYying power to a point which may
prevent all progress. Our present
revenue law will give us equitable tax
alton when once it is in proper oper-
alton; and this is the most which
can be expected from any revenue
law. In order to reduce taxes We
must either spend less money or else
acquire more taxable property; and,
since our government can do little
to increase taxable wealth, We must
centralize our efforts on reduction
of public expenditures. This effort
must be general to be effective.
Il trust that this study OF taxation
which l am asking you to make will
supply the needed stimulus and that
it will serve to focus the attention of
the people upon the specific fea-
lures of this subject which are most
in need of their attention"
