Gold Coins Melting
MAY Be Opposed

Sacramento. Cal, July 2S-(By A.
Phone OF the major problems to
come before the 27th annual conven-
ton of the American Mining Con-
gress, when 1t meets here Sept. - to
Oct. 4, is the huge loss the country
is said 10 suffer every year through
the destruction of gold coins.
At present no law prohibits the
melting down of gold coins and the
use of such metal in the manufacture
of jewelry and In the arts. Propo-
nents Of ban on such melting con :
tend that Ave. ten and 20 dollar gold
pieces, minted at the expense of the
taxpayers, are thus removed from
circulation and from the media OF
exchange, to be turned into Injuries.
Their opposition Is based principally
on the fact that gold has a fixed
price, set by the government, un-
affected by supply and demand, un-
like other commodities.
An anti destruction law for gold
coins will be agitated at the conven =
ton and the attitude of the entire
ming industry will be sounded out.
If the sentiment is favorable. steps
will be taken to have such a bill pre-
scented in congress.

only from his memory for he was
not requested to preside until this
morning.
Changing the order of the pro-
gram, Chairman Spear introduced
Hon. Augustus +. Moulton who de-
livered a well prepared historical ad-
dress which covered Maine in gen.
eral and Lincoln county in parti-
cular since its early settlement. Lin
coin county was in its original ter
ritory very large, taking in more
than three-fourtns of the State and
extending from the Kennebec river
to the eastern border of the State.
From this county was hewed the
counties of Kennebec, Knox. Waldo
and all the couaties in the eastern
section of the State. Mr.. Moulton
covered in detail the early grants of
the Maine province from 1920 down.
His comparison of the provinces of
Maine and Massachusetts during the
18th century was very interesting.
Massachusetts with a New England
town meeting form of government
was growing state during this per-
iod while Maine which was little
better than feudal province, with
none OF its people holding land in
little growth.
Following Mr.. Moulton a history
of the Court House and Lincoln
county for the last hundred years
was read by Mr.. William d. Patter-
son. No one in this section of the
State Is better Versed in local his
tory than Mr.. Patterson. His ad-
dress was full OF interesting bits of
local history many of which have
never before been told except in pri-
Nate correspondence.
There remaining Il half hour after
Mr.. Patterson closed his address be-
fore the dinner hour Justice Spear
called for five minute remarks. The
hrst to be called upon by the chair
man was Justice Warren c. Phil
brook of Watervifle, the senior as
sociate Justice of the Maine Supreme
Court. Judge Philbrook responded in
his usual ready manner and interest
~ discussed the fast increasing mass
OF our laws and the present trend of
the FEDERAL government to encroach
on the State in governmental affairs.
introduced as the dean of the Ken
nebec Bar Association and q hale
and hearty veteran of the war of
eighteen sixty, Hon. L. T. Carlton of
Winthrop responded IN a few well
CHOSEN words. State Commissioner
of Education Augustus o. Thomas
next was called upon and in his witty
manner kept the gathering in laugh
ter for the four minutes allowed him
by Justice Spear.
Judge Upper read letter express
Ing the regret of Governor Baxter,
U. s. Judges Hale and Peters and
Judge Barnes that they could not
be present. Then an adjournment
was taken to the Wiscasset Inn and
the next hour and half taken up
with doing justice to a shore din
ner.
