IF we could get the farmers once in

be but few years until we could have

with less cost in the long run than the

WANT GOOD ROADS.

The People of Qneids County, n. Y, Lead
the Procession.
The county ia the state of New York
first to avail itself of the provision of
the ''good.roads" law, which was
signed last April by Gov. Flower, is
Oneida. The supervisors of that coun-
ty met in Utica recently and Super
visor McCreary introduced a resolu-
ton for the adoption of the county
system
Briefly stated, the provisions of the
state law allowed the supervisors of
any county to assume tho care and inn
provement of any highways they may
designate. The cost is taken from cit
les and townships and paid by tho coun-
ty. One chief advantage of the county
system is that IL docs away with the
evils of allowing taxpayers to work
out" their taxes on the roads
Curiously enough the opposition in
Oneida county Is most m the country
districts, where the benefits would be
greatest should the system be adopted
The sentimentin the cities of Rome and
Utica is general in its favor.
The friends of the movement arc
very hopeful of success in securing the
adoption of the county system 1t has
been pointed out that the credit of hav-
ing been the first to secure good roads
through county control would be to the
benefit of the people of Oneida in many
ways. Aside from the direct personal
gain, good roads would be strong fac
tor in attracting to the place during
summer months many visitors who go
greater distance for fine scenery and

This has the right ring. II hits the
nail squarely on the head and shows
that Mr.. Walker knows what he is
talking about Next to railroads, sub
stantial and lasting public highways

ing both the farmers and the towns

tating it until the principal towns of

The FINANCIAL SIDE

How Col. Albert A. Pope Would Raise
Funds for Good Roads.
During the past year thousands of ar
ticles on the subject of the betterment
of the highways have appeared in the
newspapers of the country. The great
value and Importance of good roads no
intelligent person questions, but how
to raise money to obtain them is a diff
cult problem about which opinions
widely differ
beg leave to suggest in your coll
umns a plan which believe TO be the
least burdensome and the most effec-
tual and equitable for providing good
ROADS. Let each state establish a
graduated succession tax on legacies
and inheritances. Such tax might be
arranged as follows: On all estates
valued at $4,000 up to 81, 900, 600, 1 per
cent; on estates over 81, 900. 600 and up
to s.. 600, 600, per cent. on she first
81, oo0, 900, per cent on the remainder;
on estates of over S., 900, 600 up to &c.
900, COG, per cent on the first 81, 900, :
600, 2 per cent. on over that sum up to
5000, 900 and per cent on S., 600, 600
TO $40, 900, 600. This genera principle of
per cent increase every additional
IS, 900, 900 to be the fixed rate of inheri-
lance and legacy tax
For example on an estate valued
at $50, 00O, 900 the tax would be as fol-
lows:

THE CIGARETTE TRUST.
Scheme for Keeping Up the Price
of Goods


NEW YORK, Nov. 8-The methods of
the cigarette trust were the subject Of
further investigation to-day in an action
brought by Attorney General Stock ton of
New Jersey to anDul the charter of the
American Tobacco Company on the
grounds that it is operating as trust con-
trary to the laws of New Jersey.
Commissioner Walton Cleary of New
jersey presided at tO-day's inquiry.
Joseph Park Of Park & Tilford testified
that the American Tobacco Company die
tated the terms of the sales Of cigarettes
The American Tobacco Company would
not sell its goods to Park & Tilford II they
sold other than its goods. Other manu-
facturers also forbade the firm from SELL
ing competitors' wares. EasN
"Champagne houses do this particu-
larly," said Mr.. Park. They let Us have
their goods at q greater discount If we
agree to keep up the price and only sell
their brands"
Leopold Miller OF L. Miller & Sons tes-
titled that be favored the methods of con-
trolling cigarette sales, because the manu-
facturers allowed the retailer larger re-
bates when he sold only their goods.
Competition, he said, 'demoralizes and
impoverishes the retailer who is not
allowed any profit when the manufac-
turers cut prices"
