health. The order particularly affects
the import of British breeding stock.
In the past few years q syndicate of
French breeders OF Shorthorns has,
through the aid OF the French govern
ment. purchased numbers OF high-bred
Shorthorns in Great Britain with the
object OF improving the cattle of that
breed in their own country. Among
their purchases have been some Of the
best Shorthorn bulls brought out at the
shows OF the Royal Agricultural So
ciety Of England. Under the new rsgu-
lation Of the French government the
above syndicate finds IL must refuse to
purchase any cattle that will not come
out clear from the tuberculin test. Re-
cent experience under this order brings
out this emphatic refusal, two or three
OF the bulls purchased In Great Britain
having proved tuberculous and having
to be destroyed. One OF these was Lord
Polwarth's Observation-Disclosures at
the Royal Show at Leicester-and pur-
chased at a price closely approaching
5 5000. Under the circumstances the de-
cision Of the syndicate is hardly sur
prising. The example Of the French
government has been followed by the
Canadian-that no cattle shall be i'm
ported into the Dominion unless war
ranted free Of tuberculosis as tested by
the tubesculin test.

How Tires Are Made.

An interesting sight is the pneumatic
room of rubber mill, the room i'll
which rubber is cut into strips to be
made into tires. Here, on clean, long
tables of white pine, the sheets of rub
Der are cut into strips for the tires.
First, the sheets are drawn over the
tubes from the rolls at the end, and the
men, brushes in hand, smooth out all
the air swellings and dust the surface
with flour or soapstone to prevent any
sickness. Then the head cutter twirls
his rapid Compasses along the width at
either end, making the points of divi-
sion where the sheet will be divided into
strips three or four inches wide, accord
ing to the size of the tires. At these
points the helpers hold a chalk line, one
at either end and the head cutter snaps
it at the middle, making seven, eight or
nine parallel lines, running the length
of the sheet
Now each man grasps his rubber
knife, specially ground so as to give a
long cutting edge, and dipping its blade
in the can of water at his side starts
down one of the white lines, walking
backward, his body bent, his eyes intent
and cutting as he goes. Should his knife
err from the line to right or left by so
little as the sixteenth of an inch, the
strip would be spoiled and the rubber
for one tire tube at least would go into
the scrap heap New York Advertiser

THE BICYCLE TAX.
Arguments Advanced by Both Sides on e
Question That Is often Agitated.


FOR a TAX.
/. Cyclists use the roads and should
therefore contribute to local expenditure.
2. A cycle is luxury
3. Cyclists constitute a class of traffic
which sometimes Inconvenience or en-.
dangers the timid pedestrian.
4. The possession of a bicycle implies
means, which presents the prospect of
getting the tax from the rider.
8. Money must be raised from one
class or another for local purposes.
6. Some people think a tax would
have the effect of suppressing the care
less and oftentimes reckless scorcher.
Z. a tax would render registration
possible and thereby increase the cy-
Clist 'ssense of responsibility for behavior
OH the read.
s. a majority of cyclists are young
people who do not contribute to the lists
of taxable property.
8. Some middle aged and old people
regard the growth of the pastime with
envy and jealousy, not being attuned to
the age in which they live.
10. The permanence of cycling is not
assured, and the taxation of bicycles Of
fers a steady, increasing prospect of
revenue.
AGAINST A TAX.
/. The cyclist does not wear out the
roads or leave offensive tracks, as does
| the horse traffic. He does not block or
impede traffic in any manner whatever.
2. A cycle, though frequently lux
ury, is often a necessity to the workman
and the business man as well.
3. The cyclist, although the careless
person often casts his body before his
wheel, always suffers with his victim
in person, machine and sometimes purse.
4. Cycling is pursued by rich and
poor alike and uniform tax on ma
chimes would press harshly on the poor
rider
| D, tax upon an instrument of loco
motion not used solely for local pur-
poses would be costly to enforce, and
unless fixed mt an oppressively high rate
the expense of arranging its incidence
and collection would seriously diminish
the receipts.
6. The imposition of a tax on a pas
time and the enforcement of the law by
prosecutions and penalties are unpopular
in sport loving country.
Z. Many persons keep IA cycle for oc-
casiOnal use and to tax these equally
with the constant riders would not be
equitable.
s. A tax would invariably impose a
check upon the pursuit of healthy and
beneficial pastime. New York Journal

contracts with the tax assessors of the
cities and towns where they pretend To
reside, or in any other way. We believe
the burdens of the State should be borne
in proportion TO the financial ability of
its citizens to bear them.
We pledge our nominees, so far as it is
possible, TO grant home rule to the var
lous cities and towns. We pledge our
nominees so To regulate and control all
quasi public corporations that without
taking from said corporations their just
rights, the rights of the people, our first
care, shall neither be infringed upon nor
taken away.
We pledge our nominees so to legislate

deliberations of the commission appointed

tion for the State, still we adhere to the
principle that the only proper way To
obtain n new constitution for the people
is by delegates of the people themselves
chosen for this purpose
The report of the committee of eight
appointed at the last convention to recon-
central committee was taken from the
table and IL raised row. The recon-
mendation was to reduce the number of
committeeman and TO make the repre-
sentation by counties instead of by towns.
Mr. FitZsimmons led the opposition 10
the reorganization faction and declared
that the trouble with the party is not in
the size of the central committee lnembcr-
ship, but in the calibre of IL.
The proposition To reduce the member
ship of the state central committee from
30 To 10 was not at all popular and upon
motion of Mr.. Reuben Wilbur the whole
matter was indefinitely postponed.
During the discussion Mr.. Thomas Il.
West had charged the county members
with not paying their dues Chairman
Owen who represents Scituate left the
platform and asked the fighter from the
Tenth ward what nc meant by saying that
he did not pay his bills. Mr.. West tried To
explain that he aid not intend to desig-
nate any individual but To say that as n
rule the country men We're slow about
paying up. The two attorneys went at
each other very briskly until they We're
called to order by the chair and the bust
ness of the convention was resumed 10y
making up the state central committee
according To the old method. After that
the convention adjourned.
