country on a par with what OBJ
tains in other countries, notably
various States of the United States,
there would not be quite so many
petitions for new roads. / will cite
an instance of the way things in
this line are done in Kansas.
A majority of property holders
on certain road voted for its ex-
tension on q regular gradient
which would necessitate the cut
ting through bluff to the depth
of twenty-one feet. The residents
on the bluff in common with the
rest of the property owners on the
road had to assume one-half of the
cost of grading, the other half
being paid from the general road
tax. Then came a special tax
levy on these same property own
ers for one-half the cost of paving
the streets, and lastly sidewalk
bonds were issued to run seven
years at per cent. interest, one
half of which was charged to the
property owners on line of extern
sion who were obliged to meet the
same by seven equal yearly assess
ments. Finally those having prop
erty on the bluff were obliged to
build rubble stone walls and ter
races to prevent the remnant of
their property from slipping into
the road.
Compare the above with the con-
ditions under which road extern
sion is carried on in this country
and imagine what a howl there
would be if such practice obtained
among us, and yet it is only
reasonable and just that a special
tax levy should be made ON prep
erty adjoining the line of new
road for say one-half the actual
cost of grading and macadamizing
the same, the remainder to come
from the general road tax. This
same practice should obtain where
roads are to be remacadamized,
the ordinary repairs, ETC., being
met as now from the gen.
eral fund. Time and again
we have witnessed the spec
tacle of the Government opening a
road along private property to the
great pecuniary benefit of its
owner without any adequate re-
turn to the Government from the
possible increase of taxes on the
same. It seems to me that the
present time is opportune for alter
ing the law in regard to road tax
to conform with what is herein
suggested. 1t would tend to do
away with unnecessary road-mak-
ing, to better road-making where
such is necessary and would be
one of the many steps that could
be taken to break up the land
monopoly now existing in this
kingdom. TAXPAYER.

Fast Driving.

Mr.. EDITOR: Some days ago
you remarked, in speaking of
child that had been run over, that
it would be well for the police to
stop the fast driving. Would it
not answer better purpose to re-
quest the authorities and parents
to prevent the children from max
ing q playground of the public
streets? So far as my observation
goes, there is very little fast driv-
ing in the narrow and rail-ob-
structed streets of Honolulu. No
thing to compare with the fast cab
driving in London or the express
teams in the American cities. Yet
/ have often had to check my slow
old horse to avoid running over
children so intent on play that
they forgot that vehicles had some
rights in the public streets. The
stupid Hawaiian custom of walk
ing in the street while comfortable
sidewalks are provided is perhaps
too inveterate to be changed, but
such misuse of the carriageway
makes speed, except in the case Of
runaway, quite impossible.
Movement through the streets
would also be much easier if in the
schools children were taught that
in civilized countries there is a
Claw of the road" Here they (and
adults are sinners in the same
way) never seem to know which
way to turn when they meet. The
Chinese drivers are especially ig.
norant or careless in this matter
and it is surprising that no more
accidents happen. Certainly this
Immunity would not exist if there
was much fast driving.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN
0f the Louisiana Weather Service, CO.
operating with thc u. ~. Weather Esu-
reuu, for tiac Week ending Aug. III.
Bulletin No. "a.


Tho past seven days, beginning cloudy and
warm, with frequent showers, and ending with
heavier rains, cooler weather and a general alb
scnce of sunshine, have not proven favorable
FOR agriculture. More or less progress was
made in field work, dependent upon the dura-
ton and amount of rainfall at the various
points, but the labor has not in any section
been sufficient to keep i'll check the rapid
growth of weeds.
With each week that records more than its
quota OF rainfall the reports regarding the CON
tlltiOn OF the cotton crop becomes still less IA
vorable This applies especially to the lowland
crop, which has been set back seriously In
the highlands and on well drained farms the
genera! tenor of reports is very encouraging !;
the plant in such lands has had steady and
healthy growth and promises an average yield.
Blooms are opening well, and picking will soon
begin in some fields. Complaints OF caterpll-
lars and boil worms are received from parishes
i'll the extreme northern portions of the State,
while shedding and rust are more generally re-
ported throughout the State
Cane has been slightly damaged by the ex-
cesslve moisture, but the crop continues in ex-
cellent condition There are now no fears eX-
pressed regarding cane, except that 1t will
probably be slow in maturing, thus rendering
the plant liable to damage by frost later in the
season.
Rice harvesting began under favorable aus
piees, but was soon interrupted by rains other
wise this work would be rapidly pushed. Dry
weather is badly ne eded in the rice region.
The corn crop lis made and has given All
abundant yield in nearly all sections.
The planting of peas, turnips and potatoes
has been favored by the wet weather.
Dry weather, with abundant sunshine, is
needed for rice harvesting, and would be ben
efcial to cane. Too much sunshine following

THE PLANET MARS.
Its Near Approach to the Earth Dis
cussed by Prof. c. A. Young
of Princeton College.

The bright red star now so copspicu-
GUS III the eastern sky during the even
ing is the planet Mars, which at present
is nearer to us than it has been at apy
time since 1877, and almost as near as It
is possible for it to come. Its closest an
proach occurred on August 5, when the
distance was 100000 miles, but for 10
days before and after it does not vary
as much as half a million.
Mars is the planet next outside the
earth, and its orbit, like that of the
earth; is nearly circular; but while fhe
earth's orbit has it's center very near the
sun, the center of the orbit OF Mars is
more than 100000 miles distant from
the sun, and for this reason the distance
between the two orbits varies greatly
I'D different places.
Now, as the earth races around her

year and ten months to complete her
circuit, the earth is continually oyertak-

Road Laws.

The average man is firmly convinced

The average man is firmly convinced
that by applying little common sense
to the task OF devising good road law
our police jury would procure for this

wisdom can frame, due consideration
being accorded to the rights and duties
of all parties concerned.
We PROFOUND the question to the ay

believe that members of The police Jury
