“Bentoe” Coffee From Bao Paulo.
‘ It Is against the law now to label
St “Java” Cortes that does not come
from Java or Sumatra. Real Mocha Is
grown in Arabia, and after the coffee
became well known and very popular
some unscrupulous dealers applied this
name to coffee from other countries.
Coffees frequently take their names
from the ports from which they are
shipped. The most widely used vari
ety In this country Is called “Santos,”
after a port of Sao Paulo, the great
coffee-producing state of Brasil.

Origin of the Dollar,
The dollar was Introduced Into
America by the West India trade be
fore the Revolution. The coinage act
of the 2nd of April, 1792, legalized It
and established It as a unit of Amer

the English system of money led con
gress In 1781 to Instruct Robert Mor
ris to devise a system of national
coinage
His suggestions were not
adopted, bnt those proposed by Jeffer
son were approved. He proposed the
dollar as a unit to be equivalent to
one hundred cents.

Itallt-oads nre the largest tax payers in ntanv states.
In a o i.e counties railroad taxes equal one-half the total.
Some of the tax money provided by the railroads is
used to build and uiaiutaln highways on which trackless
competitors operate.
Some of these ftghway transpor
tation routes serve as feeders for the railroads, but In
most cases they take tonnage from the rail lines, and the
taxes levied on the railroads and their trackless competi
tors are often unjustly apportioned.
Senator Borah, speaking In Congresa last December.
said:
"It will be very difficult to reduce freight rates If we con
tinue In this country to Increase taxes upon th s railroads as
we have for the last four years
These public utilities must
collect this money from but one source, and that is from
