match in the cold and cruel landlord OF
Camden, N. j., who at this trying sea
son would turn into the streets poor
family, the father without work, the
children sick, one nigh unto death, and
for three days being without food or

court being a just man and kind, re-
fused to grant landlords warrant, de-
claring that the court would not turn
the destitute into the streets homeless,
ami requested all such cases to be re-
ported TO him.

Whenever member of Congress
wishes to secure little cheap not oriety
he makes an attack upon that poor, de-
fenseless thing known as the District
of Columbia, the residents of which
have neither vote nor representation in
or out OF Congress. Que of the MOTOR
iety hunters was Repre- ,entative Otis,
Of Kansas, who while the District APP
preparation was under discussion in the
House moved an amendment pruvid-
ing that instead of the general govern
ment paying one-half Of the total
amount appropriated, it pay only one
fourth and the District Of Columbia
three fourths, and strange as it may
appear to those who understand the
rank injustice of the proposition, which
was characterized by Representative
Henderson of Iowa as one of the most
unjust he ever knew to be made in Con-
gress, thirty members of the House
voted with him for the amendment.
Representative DeArmond, of Missouri,
was worse yet; he wanted the District
to pay it all. The bill was finally
passed by the House without any such
m-fool amendments.

UTAH will have everything in her
favor now to be elevated to Statehood,

reason why Utah should not be State.

FAIR ROAD TAXES.

meats - the SaAjcct.
I have observed in various papers
complaints BY farmers that bicycle men
oil advocate better roads, but bicycle
men propose to make the farmers pay
for the roads Hence some farmers pro-
pose to tax bicycles and apply the pro-
ceeds to making better roads
II roads are to be made by taxing
those who ride over them no bicycle
man will object But such tax must
necessarily be a special tax. like the
toll taken ON toll roads. And the only
fair tax Of that sort is by taking toll.
20 that the user Of the road pays exact
" for 50 much as he uses 1t must be .
toll tax on all vehicles, and all beasts,
and all pedestrians. II one Is taxed
for using the road. all road users must
be taxed alike. Beside. the tax ought
to fall heaviest on those who most
damage the road by using it A BIZ
cycle does not damage the road At all;
q laden wagon does. So does . horses
hoof, or that of any hoofed beast
Further. the law should make fair
distinction in the object and result of
road use. The farmer uses the road
and damages it to make money for him
self. So does every business teamster.
