Good Roads Without Taxation.

The chairman of the New York
State Road Improvement association
has written tract, "The Gospel Of
Good Roads," in which. among many
other interesting facts, he shows that
in Union county, N. j., where sixty
miles of Telford road have been recent
ly built. farm lands have advanced in
value from $50 and SIS to $500 an acre.
The authorities of that county state
that the increase in land values there
caused by new roads would pay six
times over the cost of every foot of such
roads in the state. This is more than
single tax men would claim, though
they recognize the principle and their
agitation is based upon it. Every new
fact that comes to light goes to prove
both the justice and the efficiency OF
the single tax. and we are glad to recog-
nize in the Road Improvement associ-
alton new auxiliary. If the bicyclists
of the state would cooperate with the
Road Improvement association. New
York might soon have the best high
ways and the most valuable farm lands
in the union. without adding ono penny
to the tax burden.

Rent as Part Of Cost.

In analyzing the cost of producing
commodities, rent is often named as an
element It is said. for example, that
cost includes wages of labor, wear and
tear of capital, interest on capital,
taxes, interest on taxes, and rent This
is mistake, and, for single tax advo-
Gates, a dangerous one to make. If
rent were an element of cost it would
enter into the price of commodities,
thus shifting taxes on rent to the con-
sumer; and shrewd adversary, by
pointing out the deduction, might easily
confuse the single tax advocate who
was guilty of this false analysis.
A little reflection will make It per-
fectly clear that rent is no part either
of cost or price. The only distinctive
elements of cost are wages Of labor

Love Among the Indians.

A writer in a paper devoted to the IN

and pathetic style how the Sioux brave
woos the m alden of his choice. The
young buck is said to spend several
days in constructing reed flute, upon
which, without any previous musical
instruction, he performs werid and
plaintive melody. Squaws may not
have cultivated ears for music, but they
are not to be fooled that way. Ittal1es

with sudden recollection of how a;s

''Why?" Lucia repeated. She made a
quick little gesture of evaporation and
disgust. Hes tremendously relig-
ious man, this husband of mine. Didn't

think that from some sacred sense of fl
ial respect he would never destroy those
papers. But he's already locked them
up somewhere, and regrets that he ever
| allowed me to gain a glimpse of them. -
''1ou say that he's afraid of them?',
asked Thorndyke, pierced with memo
ries of Georgina Maynard's past be-
havior.
Yes. They fill him with horror.
l don't know if he has any faith in the
chemical marvels they suggest. But he
remembers that his mother more than
once told him of how his father died an
infidel.'
''Ah.'' said her listener, drawing a long
breath. He felt as if some specter We're
in the room, viewless and yet palpable.
Il see, Sylvan believes
THAT there would be something
blasphemous about such an achieve
ment," broke in Lucia, ''even if it could
possibly be made" She rose, and for a
moment appeared to listen intently
''That is he now,'' she at length said,
in a quick. low, warning way; and al
most Immediately Sylvan entered.
The doctor stayed for nearly an hour
longer, but during this time there was
no resumption of the subject on which
his wife and Thorndyke had been en-
gagged. ''He wishes to let it pass un-
mentioned from this time forward, +"
the doctor told himself. ''Ah! how
heredity speaks here! And what a
difference between the brothers! 1t is
so easy to imagine Gerald full of ardor
to try the truth of what his father has
asserted, instead of being browbeaten
at the outset by paltry, superstitAus
fears
As more days went on, the doctor felt
piqued by Sylvan's continued reticence.
Not to volunteer one syllable regarding
a trust faithfully kept for many years,
Such course was tinctured with the
diS-reliSh of crude manners, to say moth
ing of it more severe. By this time
ThOrndyl1e's term of sojOurn in New
York had almost drawn to a close. He
had found that his investments and gen.
eral business interests as a property
holder in and near Chicago made it in
convenient if not quite impossible to
remain much longer in the East. Be
sides, he had become fond of the huge
town that has sprung up with so magic
a speed if perhaps with an over-great
willingness to be trife too impressed
by itself as Il prodigy. He felt actual
home-sick longings to gaze again on
some of those very features of it which
long ago, as an immigrant Englishman,
he had roundly ridiculed.
He decided that he would make no
attempt to break the ice with Sylvan.
1t was ice of the young mans own
freezing; let it stay rigid if he so willed.
Pressing letters came from Chicago,
and Thorndyke resolved to start at
once. Before doing so he said to Sylvan
that his brother would soon arrive in
New York and that it would of course
be better for Gerald to remain there a
month or so before going into the West.

'.Oh, Sylvan, Sylvan! What would

or two Then he turned to her again,
and said, in voice full OF repeient
discords:
