Mr.. Britten: To say that a refund
of duties paid on rolling field kitchens,
which contributed to the army, would
be establishing a dangerous precedent,
is beyond my comprehension. The
failure of the house TO pass this bill
will mean direct taxation on public
spirit, direct taxation on patriotism,
direct taxation on humanity. 1t is
suggestion that the national treasury
itself should benefit in real hard mon
ey, because the war department was
not in position TO provide the sim
pie necessities of an unimportant cam
paign.
Mr.. Cannon: There was a duty on
wool. God knows how the women
knit. God knows how they bought
and paid for the wool to knit. This

Congress Is to Give Us Pretty New Coins

The United States has never been
strong for new coins. In 1892 congress
authorized the following coins for cir
culatlOn: the eagle (S10), half eagle
$50, quarter eagle (S2.5O), the dollar,
the "disme" Gold spelling for dime).
half disme G. cents), the cent and the
half cent.
Double eagles came into being In
1S49, the year Of the gold rush to Cal
ifornia. In 1851 q new coin, the Scent
piece, three-quarter silver AMI one
quarter copper, was introduced. and
two years later the three-dOllar gold
piece came into being. In 1857 the
half cent was dropped, but another
piece. the two-cent coin, was minted
in 1864
The nickel came into being In 1865.
Congress in 1876 overhauled the entire
coinage system and decided upon the
following coins: all the gold coins
Is they now stand. dollar. half dol
lar. quarter and dime in silver and the
minor coins. including the five, three
and one-cent pieces. Since that time
the three-cent piece has been dis
carded.

such time as said post diSsolves; such

And that suitable bronze tablet
commemorative of this gift shall be
furnished and placed on the exterior
of said building at the expense OF the
United States.
In the house an eloquent little tribute
to the old soldiers by Mann of Illinois
was received with applause. and the
members decided to show that the vote
was unanimous.
In the senate IL was pronounced a
wonderful bill-for the same reason
that had impressed the house. II was
passed by unanimous consent.
1t appears that the post is well-to-
do; that the property is valuable and
that the present rental from the
ground floor is considerable.
Once Sedgwick Post, No. 10, G.. A.

membership has dwindled to %. Soon
the post will have no more need for
its hall. The last roll will be called

T. NCERPTS from the house debate
II on the bill Oh. r. GID on the
unanimous consent calendar of the
house 10 authorize the refund of duties
collected on field kitchens imported
during during the year 1916:
Mr.. Britten: The kitchens cost
some $1,000 apiece. They were fur
niShed to the National Guard and TAX
en- to the Mexican border at time
when the war department had not
sufficient equipment to take care of
the troops. A duty was charged when
rolling kitchen was brought over
the line from Canada. This bill seeks
to refund the duty. 1t is a small item.
Mr.. Cannon: What Is the difference
between donations of dollars, dona-
tons of clothing, and the hundreds Of
milliOns-I was going TO say billions
OF dollars that were donated by the
patriotic people? Now, here comes a
bill TO establish precedent to pay
back something to somebody who pa
tSOtically donated field kitchens. on
which you say they paid a duty when
the kitchens were imported If YOU
should carry out that same principle,
you would have ii on all imported ar
ticles. | do not know how much is
involved in this
