TAX THE RAILROADS.

How an Iowa Farmer Would Raise FundA
for Road Improvement.
At the present time there is general
demand for better roads and. particu-
larly, better highways leading into our
principal towns over which the farm
ers have to haul their productions to
reach the stations ana shipping points
This agitation seeks to awake a feeling
o: interest in behalf of the support of
the national government By granting
substantial aid to secure better roads
No class has deeper interest in this
question than the farmers. Some OBJ
ject to the national government taking
hold of such enterprises as not con-
templated in the constitution, but this
argument loses its force owing to the
fact that the government has built
such highways and they are the best
roads in existence to-day. One of the
principal of these is the great national
road from Washington to St Louis,
which proved a greater boon and bless
ing to those who lived within its reach
than any railroad in the nation. Now
the congress has been most liberal, if
not too extravagant. in granting aid in
land and money to build up those rail-
roads that are nothing but private COM
panies, and don't enrich the govern
ment from the revenue they receive,
whilst those who travel over the ma
+ional road have to pay toll every ten

The Newest Coats.

Black MORE is now favorite stuff
to the stylish 1880 coats Its stiffness
suits the style to a dot and its luster
makes it always appropriate for dressy
occasions A fair woman or a red
blonde could wear the same material
in dark green most effectively. The
coat is made perfectly close-fitting,
with a waistband of black satin ribbon
richly embroidered in jet and finished
with two long scarf ends of satin
which show long jet fringe at the bot
tom. The revers are edged with black
feather trimming and turn back over
a little vest of black MORE. The
sleeves are very large at the top and
the wrists are finished with gauntlet
cuffs. This is one of the handsomest
coats shown this season.-N. Y. Post.

Short Skirts.

Short skirts grow more and more in
favor. and spring will find all demi-
trains for street wear discarded en-
tirely, except for middle aged ladies or
an occasional grand ceremony. The
skirt is over five yards wide, cut on the
slope, upheld by hem slightly ''crino-
lined" Basques are holding their
own, and continue to grow in favor.
They are very full below the waist
line. Some are stiffened and stand
out like the full REFERS at the shout.
ders- Double skirts, with opening on
the sides, continue to be much in favor.
The upper skirt is usually bordered
with thick, heavy trimming; fur and
ruchings are extensively used for this
purpose. A couple of very large fat
bows are used to cover the opening

congress to levy tax on those sue
cessful railroads in order to create a
general fund to be used in building up
and improving the common roads?
Our present road system is altogether
out of place. All road taxes should be
collected in money and the roads
worked by contract
the question arises: Where is the
capital to come from to secure such
roads as the farmers have a right &c
demand? / would suggest the taxing

Advantage Of Good Roads.

. prominent farmer of Mecklen burg
county as expressing the opinion that
Charlotte's growth and improvement
are largely due to the roads leading to
the city. and saying that lands in his
section had increased much in value
in consequence of the better roads He
mentions two tracts which were bought
last year, one for s1s an acre. which
was sold this year for s25 an acre.
the other for SIS per acre, which sold
for $50. These figures serve but to
strengthen the general belief that good
roads do much for the towns with
which they afford ready communities.

A $4,000 ITEM.

1t is very easy matter to figure, but
1t takes an expert to figure how one can
get something of value for nothing
Several state papers are advocating
change of school books and claim that
such proceeding would result In a saw
ing Such conclusions are disproven by
experience School books of merit are
staple articles and are not given away.
With the single exception of grammars,
there will be no change desired. At
present there are five different text books
on the subject in use in the state. A
change to one complete series, of two
books, will result in a saving and bring
about state uniformity. On this subject
theref are two publications receiving
favorable notice. One is Reed & Kel-
logg's grammar, published by Maynard
& Merrill, the other, Maxwel1's, is pub
lished by the American Book Co. The
former has never been used in the state
the latter has, and is giving perfect sat
isfaction. By the adoption of either the
cost of exchange will be the same; but
the retail price of MaxwelPs is 90 cents
while Reed & Kellogg's will cost 81. 10.
Thus it is plainly seen that a saving of
twenty cents per pupil will be made by
adopting the Maxwell series. The school
population of the state is about 100, 900.
Of this number probably one-ha1f, or
$1,000 pupils, study grammar, SO that by
adopting the latter series, a saving may
be made to the school patrons of Oregon
Of $4,000. These facts and figures
plainly show that the American Book Co.
instead of attempting to fleece the people
of the state, as some papers attempt to
prove, are really giving lower quotations
than their competitors.
