Both parties to areas of life that a more liberal reading of the Constitution now each transaction had to retain their respective forms for a period permits. In order to get around this roadblock to direct of not less than two years. regulation, the Congress used its broad powers to levy taxes, and imposed regulations to enforce these taxes. One of the best known of these regulatory taxes was that irn· posed by the Harrison Narcotic Act, which was approved on December 17, 1914, and which took effect on March 1, 1915. As originally enacted, the Harrison Act required the registration of all manufacturers, distributors, retail dealers and dispensers of opium, coca leaves, and manufactures thereof. In (VAl.lJE.

The amended act also differentiated special taxpayers into five (later six) classes, and imposed taxes ranging from $3 to $24 per year. Certain of these special taxes were later reduced. The heart of the regulatory scheme was the requirement that virtually all transfers of narcotic substances be made only pur­ suant to written order forms. These forms were printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (at least until 1958, and perhaps latEr) and were sold by the Internal Revenue.Service for le each. The forms could only be sold to, used by, and filled by ·I persons who had paid their special taxes for that year.

  • Local Mail Posts in the United States: a Bibliography of Items in the National Postal Museum Branch of the Smithsonian Institution Libraries
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 445 693 IR 057 907 AUTHOR Carr, Timothy, Comp.; Duncan, Francis, Comp. TITLE Local Mail Posts in the United States: A Bibliography of Items in the National Postal Museum Branch of the Smithsonian Institution Libraries. INSTITUTION Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC. Libraries. PUB DATE 2000-00-00 NOTE 19p.; Herbert A. Trenchard and David Jickling assisted in compiling this document. PUB TYPE Reference Materials - Bibliographies (131) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Annotated Bibliographies; *Archives; History; *Information Sources; *Library Collections; Museums; *Resource Materials; Special Libraries IDENTIFIERS *Postage Stamps; Postal Service; *Smithsonian Institution ABSTRACT Local mail posts were private enterprises that operated mainly in cities circa 1840-1861. Locals provided services the United States Post Office Department (USPOD) did not offer. Some locals operated in association with the USPOD. In addition, some locals offered services that overlapped those offered by other independent mail carriers and express companies. Many locals issued their own stamps. Stamp collectors have conducted intensive research to identify local stamps and their origins, partly to separate genuine from faked stamps. This bibliography is presented to promote the study of locals in the National Postal Museum Branch of the Smithsonian Institution Libraries. Sources are presented under the following categories: books; journal articles; special publications; auction catalogs; stamp catalog; and indexes.(AEF) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

  • FLAG of MONACO - a BRIEF HISTORY Where in the World
    Part of the “History of National Flags” Series from Flagmakers FLAG OF MONACO - A BRIEF HISTORY Where In The World Trivia Apart from aspect ratio, the flag of Monaco is identical to the flag of Indonesia. Technical Specification Adopted: 1881 Proportion: 4:5 Design: A bi-colour in red and white, from top to bottom Colours: PMS: Red: 032 C CMYK: Red: 0% Cyan, 90% Magenta, 86% Yellow, 0% Black Brief History Monaco used to be a colony of the Italian city-state Genoa. A small isolated country between the mountains and the sea with one castle on the Rock of Monaco, overlooking the entire country. Francesco Grimaldi disguised himself and his men as Franciscan monks and infiltrated the castle to take control. It was not long before Genoan forces succeeded in ousting him. Later his descendents simply bought the castle and the realm from Genoa and turned it into a principality. At this point the flag of Genoa was the St. George’s flag. They allowed England, for a fee, to fly their flag so they could use their sea and ports to trade. The Monaco Coat of Arms has represented the country for as long as the Grimaldi dynasty has been in power, since the early 15th Century. Although the design has changed gradually over the years, the key elements have remained the same. The motto, 'Deo Juvante' is Latin for 'With God's Help'. This coat of arms today serves as the state flag. St George’s Flag of Genoa The Coat of Arms of Monaco The colours on the shield, red and white in a pattern known as 'lozengy argent and gules' in heraldic terms, are the national colours.

  • Commencement Program 2021
    Sapientia et Doctrina Wisdom and Learning “Wisdom and learning shall be the stability of thy times.” —Adapted from Isaiah 33:6 The Fordham University Seal The Great Seal of Fordham University proclaims that Fordham has been a Jesuit university since its founder, Archbishop John Hughes, entrusted it to the care of the Society of Jesus five years after its founding in 1841. Hence, the coat of arms of the Society of Jesus stands at the center of the Great Seal of the University. The coat of arms bears the Greek letters for the name Jesus—IHS—with the cross resting in the horizontal line of the letter H, and the three nails beneath in a field framed in maroon, the color of the University, with fleurs-de-lis on the edge of the maroon frame. Around the Society’s coat of arms is a scroll with the University’s motto, Sapientia et Doctrina (Wisdom and Learning). The scroll rests on a field in which tongues of fire are displayed, recalling the outpouring of the gifts of the Holy Spirit of wisdom (sapientia) that marked the first Pentecost. A laurel wreath at the center of which are listed the names of the disciplines that are or have been taught at the University rests at the top of the seal. (The University had a medical school from 1905 to 1919 and a College of Pharmacy from 1912 to 1971.) These central heraldic devices are enclosed within a circular field fashioned as a belt and edged with beads. The field bears the University’s name (rendered in Latin) and the date of its foundation.

Largest known block from the Charles, Kipper and West printing The first issue of Upper Bongoland, and its associated postal history, represents a microcosm of the many stamp collecting aspects that make the hobby fascinating. In 1865, printing technologies and postal services were rapidly developing; many unique developmental examples are shown in this material. Most developments have their origins in the Bongolese recognition of the need to tax and control communications and commerce between territories by providing a monopolistic service. As a result of the inimitable position of Upper Bongoland in global postal services development, the first issue of this little known country has become a fruitful area for philatelic study. Following the well documented 1858 Civil War, and the overthrow of the Monarchy, the Kingdom of Bongoland was constituted into the Federation of Bongoland with three provinces: Upper, Lower and Central Bongoland. In 1864 Upper Bongoland seceded from the Federation. At that time the Federation postage stamps were declared invalid in the former province and, after an emergency period, in 1865 Upper Bongoland released its first postage stamp issue comprising the single 15 bongos adhesive stamp.
