CONTRADICTIONS.
A Wheelman,S Comment.


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 am glad you call attention to the fact of wheelmsn coasting down the drives of East Rock Park at great speed. It is not the
 coasting, think, az your article says, as a bicycle makes no noise whether the rider if 1 roasting or riding. In fact, it is hard to come down the rock without coasting. But it Is the speed they come down at and l the right of the road. The majority of wheelmen do not want to scare horses ol l frighten ladies, bu. out of as many riders a' there are fin this city there are good many | boys and careless persons riding who care fe | no one but themselves and go tearing alonl
 at great speed regardless of anyone else' riohts or cnrof"-t ,Rut the body of wheel en at large should not be becoDass2demned fo le actions of a few, as they are as much opee osed to it as the drivers of horses. The ride ? East Rock Park is one of the best runs l , ound here, and wheelmen should be care- ( Il when coming down, especially on Sundays { hen the roads are full of teams. have { en fellows myself go tearing down the rock
 breakneck speed, endangerinR themselves { Id others, dodging among teams, etc. Such :actices should be stopped, even if law 6 IS to be made regulating the speed of vehi. ( es on the drives. ""oAu catA Ino attentlou to Lne 1acG tnab 10 bicycle is not an 'apparatus'' as stated i
 the article No good will come of abus- [ g the sport which is 50 popular, and the ticle referred to is very fair-minded and c 't one sided, as the articles about the V cycle usually are, and every wheelman can 8 ldorse it with the exception that 1t thinks s tasting down the rock should be stopped. 1 i hat does not scare horses more than riding ( 7 them, and it cannot be expected to keep l t heels of the rock, but wheelmen should s Ie care and have consideration for the | { ghts of others as they expect others to con- der their rights.

THE NEW TAX BIL1.

Mssra nrint to-day the new tax bill in f and recommend fulI lss<nerusal of it by ey, one who is interested. It will be noticed that under the new law every holder of a security that is under the statute liable to taxation can, by presenting the same to the treasurer of the State and by paying to him tax equal to two dollars for every thousand. dol lar bond, have 1t exempted from furthe CT taxation for period of one year. If the owzer so desires, he can pay for longer period than one year at the sams rate. This will be quite saving for those who have been in the habit of placing such securities in their lists and paying local taxes thereon, amounting in this city to $2O on thousand dollar bond. twill be noticed, also, that under this law all must sign their lists and make oath that they have no taxable securi- ties except those that have been made ex- empt by complying with the law.
 The object of the bill is to equalize the taxation and endeavor to have all the tax. able securities in the State pay their fair share of the taxes, and 1t is expected that the amount received in this way will be much greater than before; it fact, it is estimated that there will be enough received to wipe out the State tax on the towns of the State.
 It is we'll known that there are large amounts of western farm mortgages held in this State which are taxable, but very few have ever paid taxes on them, believing that 1t was not just, and therefore havs felt that no wrong was being done by leaving them out of their tax lists, while others have been under the impression that they were not taxable and have been innocent of doing any wrong. The increased amount of this class of investments throughout the State that will now pay its share of the taxes will go far towards reducing the amount required from the towns as State tax. And at the same time tho payment of the small amount now required to make the securities exempt from taxation will enable every honest person to make his tax list complete without having to feel that he is paying more than his share of the taxes
 Another good feature of the law is that it Will enable trustees, executors, etc., to invest in what are commonly known as trust funds. As the law has been they have been practi- cally prohibited from buying good bonds such as are allowed by law, as they were mostly liable So taxation, and to pay the tax on them would have left such a small in- come from the investment as to leave but little for the beneficiary.
 The oath is a strong one, and very few who now own taxable securities will fall to pay the tax required. The difficulty will be in the first year, when many who have not heard Of the law will make out lists of what they owned the first of October and learn for the first time what are taxable securities.
