Wide Tires.

writer in a late issue of the
Wheeling CIV. Va) Register believes in
reforming wagonwheel tires and do
ing it radically as one of the most eff.
fectual means of improving the pub
lie roads" He says by way of demon
stration
The following tests were made by the Stude-
baker manufacturing company with dyna-
mometer. The scale of the instrument was
carefully elaborated by test through the me-
dunn of U. S. standard weights and scales.
The following shows the record in details:
You can start 260 pounds more on good,
hard, sandy roads with finch tire with the
same amount of power eXerted than Won can
with l!-inch tire.
You can haul 5O5 lbs. more on good, hard,
sandy roads with 4inch tire with the same
amount of power than you can with 14-inch
tire.
You can start Ill pounds more on level
gravel roads with 4-inch tire with the same
amount of power exerted than you can with
l!-inCh tire.
You can haul 10 pounds more on level
gravel roads with finch tire with the same
amount of power eXerted than you can with
lt-inch tire.
lol Nttll St'tlt w. lDS more OH muddy
roads with 4lnch tire with the same amount
of power eXerted than you can with l4-inch
tire
These tests are enough to convince our
farmers and others than they can haul more
on the country roads with a four-nch tire
with the same amount of power exerted than
| they can with the ordinary tire, besides the
wide tire would not iniure their farms as the
narrow tire, and would preserve our roads
The city and county are continually spend
ing thousands Of dollars every year in keep
ing up the streets of the city and the county
roads. By using a four-inch tire it would
save the city ard county an enormous ex-
pense which is paid out annually for that
purpose.
This article is commended especially
to the County Commissioners and the
Town Council Of Frostburg.
For what is true in Wheeling and
vicinity is true here.
And the authorities have, or ought
to have as much authority oyer the
agencies which destroy roads as over
those which repair them.
Look into the matter seriously, gen

A Common Complaint.

FRosTBuRG, MD, April q, 1893.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
1t seems to me that there has been a
serious blunder on the part of some
body in closing school No. | for so
long period, and it is a deprivation
that should not be tolerated by the
taxpayers and patrons of the school.
The building of new schoo; house
is very good, but when it comes to
closing ont our boys and girls from
school for five or six months, paving
for a private school, and then paying
for a new building, we are taxed far
too high. Indeed, three months va
cation is too long an absence from
study. Add to this three or four
months more and it becomes a serious
separation from school.
The most pleasant part of the yeal
is to be lost in idIeness by our boys and
girls, or we are compelled to pay fol
private instruction in the face of pay
ing taxes to school fund.
Should not one of the public halls
have been secured by the school
officials to continue school in? Was
it right to close the school, and who is
to blame
Perhaps the JOURNAL can throw
some hight on the subject. PATRON.

The Annual Statement.

At the suggestion of Councilman
who evidently thinks he is adding
injury to insult, the JOURNAL is de-
barred from publishing the annual
statement.
1t appears in the Ledger, however,
with unnecessary amplitude in one
respect, and very unsatisfactory in
completeness in another.
About seven inches are given to a
''list of drafts outstanding involving
expenditures amounting to 1906 43
and of no importantinter whatever,
while four lines cover the details OF
"street improvements" involving

A Word in Advance.

1t is the solid duty Of both parties
to make no mistake in next falls
nominations for the Legislature.
The important matter of an assess
ment bill will come before that body
"a matter that should be carefully
considered by the very wisest and best
men we have.
The taxes are high to both the coal
companies and the average real estate
owner. and they should be lowered by
bringing under tribute the vast
amount of wealth that now somehow
escapes
The city of Cumberland, for instance
with all its riches, pays but little, if
any, more than the Consolidation coal
company.
A disparity so glazing, generally
rectified, must result in materially re-
ducing both the State and county
rates.
The plan adopted should be not only
iuquisitive, but mechanically so to the
extent of preventing the taxable basis
from going backward as rapidly as the
material development is really going
forward.
Any legislation, therefore, that does
not establish equitable and complete
assessments and pe,petuate them will
fall short of the great popular de-
mand.
Especially any legislation that ia,
vors the interest of the professional
tax-dodger will be vicious, if not dan
gerous.
Such law-making is worse than some
| law breaking. 1885,.

FRosTBURG. Mp, May ., 1893.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
AS the County Commissioners seem
unable to make up their minds to
listen to the users OF the County
Roads. and stlll seem to think the
Electric Road must be provided with
right OF way by the County. the
following would seem a reasonable
way out of the difficulty:
A right of way twenty feet wide ex
tending from the end of the Cumber-
land Road to Westernport, a distance
of about % miles, would include about
seventy acres of land If the Electric
Road is located, adjoining and parallel
to the County Road. no land will be
isolated and the measure of damage
will be simply the area occupied.
Most of this, outside the towns, is I'M
occupied land, and $50 per acre would
be a large average price for it. To
purchase it would therefore require
the expenditure of $E,750.
This amount and more is every year
expended on the repairs of the section
of the County Road in question.
why not ldhe lnlS sum ana purchase
the right of way for the Electric Road,
letting the County Roads go without
repairs for a yearg If the Electric
Road is located as above indicated the
grading would cost no more than it
Will now cost to sink their ties in the
bed of the County Road as required by
the grant. They will, therefore, be at
no more eXI ense than now contem-
plated and certainly should be satisfied.
Those who use the roads will gladly do
without the repairs to avoid being
deprived of the use of the roads
altogether, as they will be by the
Electric Road located as now contem-
plated. OBSERVER.

There are two stories extant about
Mr.. Pink Whiskers of Pocahontas.
One that he is writing his autobi-

The other that he is losing his

interfere somewhat with the integrity
of his autobiography.

pleasing abandon of the Cumberland

Ethical Difficulties.

1t is most likely the jerky reports in
the Ledger of Rev. Mr.. Van Arsdale's
sermons on current evils fail to do
justice to the good qualities of that
gentleman's efforts.
But it is presumed that he is cor
rectly reported in this:
Never will two wrongs make a right, and
of two evils choose neither
Both propositions are debatable.
Because there is vast variety of
wrongs, asthere is of evils and crimes,
one of which, according to Scripture,
is objectionable.
There is also vast diversity of cir
cumstances under which wrong is
committed, mitigating or aggravating
the f1agrancy of the act.
Mr.. Van Arsdale says
Had the power would place a placard
upon the back of every backbiter
Would that not be wrong? Would
it not be something like taking an eve
for an eye?
1t is doubtful, too, whether Mr.. Van
Arsdale's plan would cure backbiting,
and remedies which so far as known do
not cure are wrongs.
To return-it was wrong to tax the
colonies; was it also wrong to throw
the tea overheard? And did the final
result illustrate the truth of Mr.. Van
Arsdale's broad proposal7
Concerning the proposition that it is
better to "choose neither of two evils"
the JOURNAL would hate to be called
upon to justify Or condemn theft that
had savel an infant from starvation.
Which could we do?
These analyses are not stated in any
skeptical mood or with captious intent.
But rather to emphasize this convic-
ton:
That all standards of morality agree,
or ought to agree that the sinner who
throws the first stone is mainly answer
able for all that follows.
Otherwise, might would make right,
and force would usurp justice.
The weak would go to the wall, and
the innocent cry unheard.
The imperious wrong of resenting
wrong would deny vindication to the
guiltless and forbid punishment to the
guilty.

therefore favored to figure double

Meanwhile, taxes are paid about as

Two questions arise:
l, Why was &c per- cent. of the print
ing given to a concern that contributes
only 9 per cent. of the printing taxes
2, Why was the concern that pays
SO per cent. of the printing taxes given
only Is per cent. of the work?
These questions are not asked by
way of complaint, but of suggestion
as to the fairness of such distribution
of the peoples money, and to have
people ask themselves-what the
motive and object of such discrimina-
tons are ?
In other words, is the the paper that
fawns around the feet of power to be
rewarded for its fawning, and the one
that asks no boot of official station to
be punished for its independence
An affirmative reply seems to con,
vey the import of the whole business.
