Tho Road convention.
Stockton independently

According to the RECORD UNION of
Sacramento many farmers regard the
coming road convention as movement to
increase taxation by making more ex-
pensive roads and that their rights are in
some way TO be infringed. This is hardly
credible a few farmers may fear that
their taxes will be increased. but the ma
jority are too Intelligent to imagine that
SUCH movement can be against their
interests. One object Of the convention
is TO secure concert of action. and, as near
as may be, uniformity in the system of
road-making. If these objects can be ac-
complished the way to cheaper road
making Will be comparatively plain. AS
road-maklng is now pursued it is of the
most expensive kind. Enough money
has been wasted on roads throughout the
United States in almost any decade to
have built everlasting roads had it all
been expended in one year. The older
States are gradually learning this truth
and are making good roads which cost
little or nothing to keep in repair while
the newer States continue the wasteful
make-shlit system or rather want of sys-
TEN. Inc farmer suffers most from this
shiftless and slovenly lack Of economy.
In winter III the great valleys of CAL
llornla most Of the roads are i'm
passabIe. 1t costs farmers more
time, more wear and tear of horses
harness and vehicles nearly every winter
than his taxes for good roads would
amount to. This cost goes on year by
year and as long as the roods are bad. Ii
the roads were made good his taxes to
pay Tor them would continue a few years
and then taxation, veXation, loss of time,
wear and tear of property would cease,
he would have to maintain less work
animals and less capital would be in
vested III them and would be better an
Piled. What farmer would not willingly
give good span of horses to be provided
with a road to town all the year and
every year, especially when the good
condition OF the roads made it easy for
him to get along with one team less? Let
the farmers send delegates to the conven-
ton and look after their interests in the
premises. Let them go, hear what is
proposed and carefully calculate for
themselves what will be the costs and
benefits to arise ont of any plans there
proposed. Let them oppose the bad and
aid the good, for there are certain TO be
some bad propositions submitted and adj
yocated, but let them not indulge in base
less suspicious, remain away and let
schemers manage the convention. Ii the
convention goes wrong it will be the
fault OF the farmers, for it should be COM
posed OF more of those than of any other
citizens.

CURIOUS SOUNDS AND ECHOES
A Whisper Can Be Heard Half Mile

A Whisper Can Be Heard Half Mile
Away Through a Pipe.
when we are so situated as to be able to
connne sound waves, as in tube or pipe,
very slight disturbance can be heard for
a long distance. In the cast-iron water
pipe OF Paris, which, according to the
St: Louis RepUbhc, forms continuous
tube, with only two slight crooks, and
these near its middle, the lowest whisper
at one end may be distinctly heard at the
other, although the pipe is $40 feet in
length. When some experiments in this
line were being conducted, pistol fired
at one end OF the tube actually blew out
lighted candle held ut the other end and
Violently elected the shavings, feathers,
paper, etc., which had been placed in the
enu OF the pipe by the eXperimenters.
Inc intensity Of confined sound is finely
illustrated at CariSbroOk Castle Isle Of
Wight, where there is we'll 200 ieet deep
ana twelve feet i'll diameter, walled or
lined with smooth masonry Although
this is an unusual depth for well, even
IN the British Isles, yet when pin is
dropped into it the sound Of it striking
the surface OF the water, lS2 feet below,
can be distinctly heard.
The echo is another sound phenomenon
which has been frequently described by
different authors. DR.. Plat mentions
one at Woodstock Park which repeats
seventeen syllabies by day and twenty
by night. At ROseneath, in Argyllshire,
there IS an echo which repeats eight or
ten notes from trumpet, bur in much
lower tone than the original; then, after a
moment ry silence, the notes are again
repeated, but still weaker, and strange to
relate, after another short interval of
silence they are repeated for the third
lme IN tone so faint as to be scarcely
audible. Other famous echoes are those
Of the cathedral at Girjenti, the stone al
coves OF the Westminster bridge, that be-
meath the Menai bridge in Wales, and the
famed Whispering galleries" of st.
Pauls Cathedral,

Now that Sacramento is putting down
bituminous pavement on one of her most
used business streets, how would it do to
adopt the Philadelphia rule, by ordinance,
relative to wide tires? In that city the
local law requires wide tires for all heavy
vehicles, or those bearing heavy loads.
Four pound capacity vehicles
must have three-inch wide tires; over
5000 pounds, four-ineh; over 600 pounds,
six-inch. There is fine of 500 for the
infraction of these provisions. There
would be no hardship in such require
ment here, because new wheels would not
be needed on trucks, but simply wider
tires on present wheels, since very few
are less than two and two and a half
inches of felloe and tire already. These
trucks with broad Tires become rollers
for the maeadam and the graveled streets
also, and aid in packing them and in pre-
venting their being cut up. In Massa-
chusetts the wide-tire provision attaches
10 all parts of the State, though in the be-
ginning it was only 4 Boston ordinance.

THE ROAD CONVENTION OUTLOOK.

The Committee of Promotion of the
Sacramento County Humane Society,
having in charge the issuance of the call
for the State Road Convention, is re-
couraging letters from all sides. County
Surveyors and Engineers appear to be
especially concerned for the success Of
the convention. One of the most dis
tinguished of the latter is already pre-
pairing interesting data for presentation.
The management of the Southern Pa
cific Company having been appealed to,
offers to give special attention through
the engineering department to any engi-
neering question that may be submitted.
Some of the delegates chosen have
voluntarily commenced to gather data in
their counties to report to the convention,
such as miles of dirt roads; mileage of
macadam; mileage of bituminous roads;
character of soil; material available; sum
expended on roads in ten years, and
ton for roads, cost per mile of present
roads to taxpayers; time of transit be-
tween market producing points over each
class of roads; effect of road building
upon land values; settlement of taxa
ton, and other inquiries of like character.
All this is very encouraging. But too
], l, al 3 IL
vention. 1t is the first called, views of
delegates will vary widely, and plans for
road betterment will be many and rad
ically differ. But the exchange of views
will be of incalculable benefit, and will
not prevent the convention from setting
up a permanent executive body to gather
the facts, collate statistical conclusions,
disseminate the information, and gener-
ally educate public sentiment up to the
mission perhaps. such as Massachusetts
has, and which has the complete conf
dence Of the people.
At the same time the convention can
accomplish great deal in the time of its
meeting 1t can declare road policy of
general character that ought to govern
the people in their State-building task; it
can show the unwisdom of old, and the
economy of the new methods of road
construction and maintenance; and it can
also make it clear that the people are
now heavily and overtaxed for roads
without returns worthy of the name.
If these testimonies are borne by the
delegates, the effect will be one of ex-
ceeding high value. and will tend to
break down the unfortunate and mis-
taken notion entertained by so many
farmers that the present road system is
the correct one, and that interference
with it is impertinence, and trenches
upon some supposed prerogative of the
agriculturist.

be exchanged for; how much their value
IS, consists. not in the amount of gold or
silver. but in the quantity of necessities
that they will purchase. If, then, by a
general system of unionism in every
trade wages were inereased-say per
cent.-an addition to prices would follow
ana no general advantage would be eff
fected
The struggles between capital and la
Dor are not what they appear at first
sight; they are conflicts between two sec
tons OF workers, and the second section
very frequently constitutes the whole
community of consumers. Unionists
appear to think that men are producers
only, and that the higher prices are the
richer everybody will be. We are all
consumers as we'll as producers, and,
when cheap production is interfered with
by artificial means, all of us suffer.

IN that she is unsexing

with no criticism that she is unsexing
herself
The San Francisco Examiner yesterday
said:
In the matter of sentiment Father Mont
goHlery original statement has still the adj
vantage over all the replies that have been
attempted, but in the cold matter of fact the
advocates OF WOman's privilege TO work at
Whatever her hand may find to DO have the
best of it. There is no real dispute of the
proposition that home is the true empire Of
woman, and that when she rules and guards
IL she IS doing the truest, the highest and the
sweetest duty that can be given to her. 1t is
thls duty that IS the ideal OF woman's life,
ana there are few women who, however far
they may come from realizing it, whatever
wall may shut them out from it, do not cher
tsh the Wish for it.
But, unhappily, 1t is not the ideal, but the
Ect that is TO be regarded in settling the
problems of the day. The hard fact is that
woman must work as well as weep ii she is TO
i've, at home If She is happy enough to pos
sess home that is supplied by the labor Of
man, elsewhere If she is unfortunate enough
TO e compelled TO depend on her own hands
Tor her bread Love and marriage are not tor
all. Many never meet one TOR whom they feel
affection. Many fail to attract the affection
OF one they would wed. There are millions of
men who could not support a family, for
WAom It would be crime to marry and beget
chllufen-and tins means that correspond
ing number of women must fail to secure
husbands.
All which proves that the Examiner,
like the regiment of women shouters.
has not grasped the subject; that it is
chained to the present and is incapable Of
discriminating between work that is
womanly and work that makes woman
unwomanly. When those who debate
the question adverse to Father Mont
gomery's views manifest capacity to un-
derstand him and to comprehend the
position of the RECORD UNION on this
important question, that comes so closely
home to the people, we may hope for
reasonableness in the debate. AS it is
now, the opposition almost wholly mis-
conceives and misrepresents the attitude
of this journal, just as it does that of Rev.
Father Montgomery.
