An Act of Congress approved on Oct. 3, 1917, provided for an increase in various postal rates to help defray the costs of the War. On Oct. 19, Crede Calhoun, the Director of Posts of the Canal Zone, requested that the Panama Canal Press provide him with proofs on stamped paper with the overprint "T-1-cent", T for tax. Subsequently, a legal opinion determined that the tax could not be imposed in the Canal Zone without the authority of Congress. Because of this opinion, no further steps were taken, and the surcharges were never issued. Only a very few of these essays have ever come to light. They each vary slightly in terms of size and font. Included with the lot is a copy of an article from the Isthmian Collectors Club Journal concerning these facinating essays. (Image)
