come will be the monopolization of the
whole trade by the State.
The farmers and their fri ends. fearful
lest the tax be taken out of their own
pockets, are at work advocating tax on
the manufactured articles. They seek to
so place it that the manufacturer will be
pOwerlesS to come back to them for re-
endorsement. They know very well
that their share Of the tax, if measured by
their consumption, will be very small.
They smoke. not cigars, but pipes. To
help them it is still further proposed to
keep down the tax on smoking tobacco.
Besides, the advocates of the new bill
favor the wiping out of the present sys-
tenn Of taxing by weight, and urge ad
valorem duties, inland and foreign. Now
the cheapest tobacco and cigars are taxed
equally with the dearest, the poor man
paying as much-or even more, since bad
cigars are heavier than good ones-on
his one-cent cigar as does the rich man
who smokes one or two at twenty-five
cents.
The revenues must be increased. The
patriotism that in time of peace will pay
taxes willingly has not yet appeared. I'M
perlal outlays must be met and covered
by imperial incomes, regular, certain and
sufflclent To depend upon the separate
States, kingdoms and duchies to make
up, when needed, by special increase IN
contribution, is too precarlous, too uncer-
tam and too dangerous. a tax on tobacco,
as proposed, on the manufactured articles,
distributes the tax evenly all over the
Empire. 1t avoids the danger of special
injury to those States or sections where
tobacco is grown. 1t comes as near being
equitable as taxes can be made; it is con-
ceived in spirit of justice and fairness,
and is the result of long, honest and care
ful consideration.

THAT TWELFTH STREET BRIDGE.
The Supervisors Accept and Order
1t Paid For,
Which Action, it is Understood. Does
Not Suit Some Members of
the Grand Jury.

There appears to be an irrepressible
conflict between the Grand jury or por-
ton of that august body, and the Super
visors regarding the matter OF the con-
struction Of the Twelfth-street bridge,
recently completed by contractor Darby
Laydon.
Last Monday three members of the
Grand Jury-W. w. Coons, c. E. Adams
and M. Barber-sent a communication to
the board stating that they had inspected
the bridge, as a committee representing
the Grand Jury.
Accompanying this was copy of the
report which they had made, in which
they specified eight distinct instances in
which, in their opinion, the structure is
faulty. and in which they state that, in
their opinion, ''the bridge had not been
constructed and completed strictly in ac
cordance with the specifications and con-
tract"
On Thursday the members of the board
visited the bridge, inspected it, and later
in the day accepted it.
Contractor Laydon, in the meantime,
went out and supplied one or two bolts
that had been omitted and put in a few
w
overlook them.
Yesterday District Attorney Ryan was
consulted by the board as to the power to
allow the remainder of the contractors
claim against the county, and he in
formed them that they should first ascer-
tain whether or not any unpaid claims
remained against the contractor.
Laydon was called in, and he assured
the board that there was not dollar of
Indebtedness existing againststhe bridge.
He telegraphed TO the lumber company
in San Francisco, from whom be pro-
cured the material, however, and soon
after handed Chairman Morrison a re-
Spouse thereto stating that they had no
lien on the bridge, Mr.. Laydon having
settled for his lumber.
The board then allowed Laydon's de-
mand for the balance due him.
Laydon said he would like to have the
board give some expression in the mat
ter in order to set at rest any false rumors
as to the character of the work that might
result from the ieport of the Grand Jury's
committee.
He said that even in a million-dollar
structure the wOrkmen might omit here
and there bolt, or few nails, but he
would stake his reputation as a builder
and contractor on the assertion that the
work on the bridge was we'll and faith
fully done, and that the county received
full value for its money. He did not like
to rest under the imputation that he had
not lived up to the terms of his contract,
and if at some future time the matter
should be brought up against him he
wished to be able to refer to the records
of the Board of Supervisors to show that
his work was up to the requirements.
Most of the members of the board took
occasion to speak on the subject, and they
expressed the utmost satisfaction with
the manner in which the work had been
performed.
Subsequently Grand Juror Coons
dropped into the board-room, and learn
ing what had transpired, remarked:
"Well, We'll have them up before the
jury again !"

One rhing MACHINERY Can't Do.

Many attempt have been made to sup
plant the glass blower by machinery,
says a trade journal, but up to this time
none have attained commercial impor
tance. Either the cost of production has
been found to be higher than by the
e-honored method or the ware pro-
duced was not of a quality up to the de-
mands of the market. This is more es-
pecially the case in the kinds of bottles
used to contain effervescent drinks,
which must be capable OF withstanding a
pressure Of several atmospheres without
failure. This, in fact, is the critical point
in the automatic manufacture OF bottles,
since the difficulty has always been TO
obtain distribution OF the glass forming
the walls OF the bottle as uniform as i'll
the hand work. The attempt has been
made to press the body and bottom sep
arately and to unite the two by tusing
them together, but the bottles made in
this manner were very heavy and Of a
poor appearance. The bottle machine
invented by Ashby, England, aroused
much interest and was much talked OF,
several companies being formed TO engage
in bottle manufacture by this method,
but none, if they still survive, have sue
ceeded III putting any great amount OF
ware on the markets of the world.

The People are Kicking About 1t, and
Say Tobacco is Necessity.
Germany just now is very much in
earnest trying to devise the best means to
raise q maximum revenue with mini
mum of friction and discomfort, writes
Consul to the United States State De-
partment Brandy wine and tobacco are
talked about as the best things to tax TO
raise the required revenues. The agents
of the Government are busy preparing
measure to tax tobacco, with view to its
discussion and acceptance.
On this question the Nation is divided
into two parties-those who regard to-
bacco as a luxury and those who look
upon it as a necessity. The former are
for taxing it, the latter for letting it alone.
The parties are also further divided on
the question whether the new tax will
affect consumption. SIN other lands by no
means so prosperous as ours" says ad-
vocates of the tax on cigars, snuff and
tobacco, Increased taxes did not reduce
consumption" Opponents of the tax
say that the highest point probable in
consumption has been reached, and that
any increase in the tax is sure TO be fol-
lowed by reduction of the amount con-
sumed. Besides, as 80 per cent. of all the
cigar smoked in the empire are lone
centers," the poor man must pay the in
crease. 1t is still further claimed that
reduction of 80 per cent will immedi-
ately follow the passage of the tax bill.
and the reduction later will remain at 80
per cent. No proofs have been adduced
to support these figures.
The French, who are by no means such
smokers as the Germans, collected last
year S75, 200, 900 from tobacco.
Germany consumes yearly S6S, ,306, 900
worth of tobacco, from which she raises
in revenue, internal and imports, SILL
100000. There are 5000 tobacco concerns,
employing l6l 900 persons, who receive in
wages, Si4,924, 900. Ninety per cent. of
the cigars made sell for cent to II cents

years the increase per capita was only
four cents-a trifle more than a farthing,
or one-fourth of cent per year. Of the
revenue now raised, the sum OF S2,61S, 900
comes from internal revenue taxes, and

tax, the consumption fell off five to six

loss. To get the Sl1, 800, 900 increase now
desired, and calculated to arise from the
new tax, a falling off in consumption of
from L to 10 per cent. is expected.
If the tax as projected becomes law

TIE MAMMOTH CAVE IN OREGON.
IncorpOrators Organize Company to
Develop 1t.
Passages Miles in Length Said T.
Form q Maze Under the Sur
face OF the Ground.

In Yesterdays RECORD UNION was
published an account of the filing of arti-
cles of incorporation of the Oregon Cave
Company, with capital stock of S5OO.OOO.
The company's intended field OF action
is somewhat different as we'll as more
widespread than the ordinary range of
corporations, and it might be said that
they want the earth, as they propose not
only to buy more or less Of its surface,
but also to invest in permanent owner
ship of a large quantity Of space below
the surface.
In fact the promoters of the scheme
propose to buy the great Oregon cave and
develop and improve it, and also to build
hotels, roads, parks and to carry on
numbering and mining business.
It may be assumed as fact, therefore,
that Oregon's mammoth cave will before
long be accessible to the public.
If one-half the stories about it be true,
il is likely to divide with the big trees
and Yosemite Valley the distinction OF
being the greatest natural attractlon OF
the Pacific Coast.
For years rumors have reached civili-
zation that way back in the mountains OF
Josephine County, Or, in the widest
mart of the Cascade Mountains, was q
cave in which one might wander for
months without finding the end. These
reports came from hunters and trappers,
who occasionally visited that wild region
in search of game, and but little credence
was given them.
Nothing OF any certainty was known
concerning the cave until four years ago,
when a San Francisco paper sent re-
porter and photographer to explore its
9epths. The cave is about seventy-hve
miles from Grants Pass, and in order TO
reach it they were compelled to go by
stage about fifty miles and the remainder
of the distance with pack train. The
last fifteen miles of the trip was made
over precipitous mountain trall which
had been washed out in places and almost
ohliterated by the growth of the under
brush. 1t took three days to cover the
seventy-five miles.
The cave was found near the top OF a
very high mountain. The party explored
miles and miles of its tortuous passages
and great chambers, and there was ap-
nare1tly no end to it. After following a
fwine for something like seven miles the
Marty found a new exit not fifty feet from
the Doint where they had entered the cave.
From the reports given the cave is larger
than and excels in beauty the great
