THE Lampson two-cent fare bill
should become law. 1t is about time
that something is being done for the
people in the way of cheaper fares.
The shippers can themselves force con-
sessions, but the person that travels
only occasionally either has to pay what
the railroad company asks or stay at
home. The only way that cheaper fares
can be secured is by legislation, and it
may as well come now as later. Of
course the railroads will fight it, but
that ought not to count. The peoples
rights should be considered. No one
doubts that majority of the roads in
Ohio can stand this reduction in general
fares, and still make nearly as much
money. The passenger t,affic is only
small proportion of the gross receipts,
and this reduction would in the end
make but a small difference in the
balance sheet of the road.

Belntnttt Chronicle.
THURSDAY, MAR. 81, 1892.

THE question of taxation is ever
paramount and assumes increased sig
nifcance when it is learned that the
current revenue of the State will not
meet the expenses of this year by over
SS00,000 This is the calculation Of the
Auditor of State. The reason is found
in the fact that while the expenses of
the State have increased, the revenue
has not increased. Nor can it readily
be increased by bringing under the ban
of taxation rights and privileges now
exempted by the constitution. A change
of constitution must first be made.
This has twice been ATTEMPTED and as
many times failed, either through in
difference or extraneous Influences.
However, Major Mckinley in his in
augural laid stress on the necessity of a
commission to consider the subject in
all its phases and to devise means for
relief As yet the Legislature has taken
no action on the matter but may still
do so.
A means within the limit of the con-
stitution for raising the revenue has
been suggested and bill has been in
troduced to that effect. 1t is proposed
to tax collateral inheritances and the
bill now under consideration places the
tax at 81 per cent. in cases where the
same is one thousand dollars and over.
This system is in vogue in several States,
among them Pennsylvania, which last
year received S3,518, ,739 from this source.
The principle is that all inheritances by,
or bequests to, any person not a member
of the decedents immediate family shall
pay a tax upon the amount inherited.
The bill is right and ought to pass, with
perhaps an amendment increasing the
rate to per cent.

Ahead of Her Neighbors,

Barnesville people will continue to
turn up their noses at other people in the
county, and we shall not be surprised if
they put on airs of the most provoking
kind. The recent good fortune of
Barnesville consists in the fact that Miss
Mitchell, of Oregon, was recently married
in Paris to the Duke de la Rochefaucauld
and an invitation to the wedding was
sent to Mrs. R. NJ. Cunning, of Barnes
vile, who is an aunt of the unfortunate
lady. The invitation has been examined
and highly commended by all the people
of Barnesville. No other town in this
part of the State can approach this

1t Finds Precious Metals.

Mr.. Andrew Thompson has made an
instrument resembling in its appearance
the oil well locator, which will locate
gold or silver ore. This instrument will
act on these metals whether in ore deep
in the earth or in the shape Of coin or
jewelry. Gold and silver money was
placed on the floor and the instrument
quickly located it. The coin was then
placed high above the floor and its loca-
ton was quickly and accurately deter
mined. 1t was also tried on gold and
silver ore with the same result. Many
inducements have been offered Mr..
Thompson to disclose the secret of tie
little machine, but be has refused all
offers, some Of them very liberal ones.
He has selected a well known resident
of the south side, to whom he intends
before he dies to impart the secret Of the
u~nattractive looking but most potent
machine. The gentleman designated to
receive this important trust as yet knows
nothing about the instrument except its
effects. He can handle it with as much
dexterity as Mr.. Thompson, but posses
ses no knowledge Of the machine other
than that impaired in this article
