Editor Herald The broad, liberal pol

with that policy permit me to offer
few facts concerning what 1 consider
the overshadowing question of the age.
1t is the question of tax refo rtn. md

much longer will the people blindly put
saddles on their own packs, spurs on he
heels of monopoly and meekIy invite

that to be fact. why don't you advocate
such o tax on land values as will make it
upprottabl to hold ary kind of land out

increase opportunities for employment
that will buy the essentials of life.

THE NEW FACTOR IN TRANSPORTATION

With the construction of fine roads in
developed parts of country and the
improvements rapidly being made in
motor wagons. it is probable that in the
near future people will become decidedly
independent OF the railroad lines. With
this independence will come concessions
by the railroad companies i'll passenger
and freight tariffs and general conven.
fences now vainly sought by legislation.
The genius Of science will solve problems
apparently beyond the power of political
wisdom. The motor wagon or carriage
has made its appearance conspicuously
in France and its merits in practice are
being tested in competitive races. A
great contest for prizes aggIegating
10000 francs is being arranged for and
entries are being made from all over the
world. including Egnland and America.
The power in these vehicles is furnished
by steam, petroleum or gasoline. The
petroleum appears to be the least expen-
sive. 1t is consumed a drop at time by
electricity created by the revolution of
the vehicles wheels. Between these
contrivances and the bicycle, as they will
be perfected from time to time. the rail
road monopoly will lose its terrors. And
when inveu ton shall at last devise the
flying machine that class OF sociallstic
reformers who think the only hope OF
procuring cheap transportation lies in
the government ownership OF railroad
lines, will be utterly undone. The award
of exclusive privileges will not then be
the essential in transportation business.
The latter will be placed under con-
ditions not requiring franchises, on the
same basis of competition that the ex.
press wagon, the hack and the stage coach
is now.

For the credit of the city it is to be
hoped the limitations Of collision in the
granting of a franchise are baseless.
Franchises are becoming valuable arti-
Giles in this growing community and they
should only be disposed of to the bidder
willing to give the most for them. The
contest for such important special priv
leges should be absolutely open and above
board. and nothing of a suspicious char.
acter be tolerated.

carpenters work, painting. common

people asked in one day Tor work, talk
to the workingmen who are ont Of work
and hunting u job and get their views,
and you will find out there are many
unemployed in our city today; that it is
not everyone that can get a job SO easy.
Also inquire what the wages are. the
