4 inches wide, and, in order TO secure
their early adoption. levy tax on all
wagons having tires less than 3 inches
wide, while wagons with 3 inch tires,
or even wider. should not be taxed as
much, IL at all!
In this, as in other cities, the use OF
narrow tired wheels foi heavy hauling,
particularly over paved streets, Is pro-
hibited by law, and why should this
law not be applicable TO all wagons with
narrow tires used in the country for the
betterment and improvement Of the
common dirt roads, With few exoep-
,ions the present y inch tire wagons
arc cutting our country roads into ruts
and making them almost impossible. II
il were not for the ruts, our country
roads would drain of nicely and be in
good condition the year round, but dur
ing the wet season, especially in the
spring, after the frost leaves the ground.
the / y inch tire wheels act rs plow
and find their way some 8 to ~ inches
into the soil.
The narrow tired wheels are being
used in less numbers every year, since
the farmer fully realizes the fact that
he must use broad tires in order 10 light
en- the load for the horses, especially
over the soft meadows and fields. Farm
ers would be only too willing to abide
by the law by using broad tires, provid-
ing the law a rigidly enforced. The
use Of broad tired wheels would enable
the farmer To haul heavier loads to
market, and where he now makes three
trips to transport the produce TO market
only two would be necessary. This 10
him would bc saving Of time. labor
and horsetiesh.
IL is said that the average cost of
moving u ton one mile over our country
roads at the present time IS about 20
cents and for five miles 81, not includ-
ing the time lost by the farmer. Such a
tax for hauling is heavier than that paid
for simply keeping ordinary roads IN re-
pair As a natural consequence, when
the roads are improved, heavier loads
can be hauled and better speed secured.
Why not. then, encourage the use OF
broad tired wheels exclusively for the
Improvement Of our roads; In my opin-
ion the question of good roads cannot be
passed upon more economically by our
county supervisors and obtain equal re-
suits than by levying tax on all mar
row tired wagons. Have each wagon SO
taxed, numbered and recorded and the
revenue derived thercfrom placed for
the improvement of country roads In
the district where the taxpayer resides.
Should an inducement b. offered TO dis.
card the narrow tired wagon wheels II
would only be question of time when
they would be thing Of the past and
the broad tired wheels would be used
exclusively instead.

Some interesting figures relative to
suicides in several of the European
armies have recently been published.
The Austrian army heads the list with
the enormous number of 12.43 suicides
per 1000 troops. The German army,
from $4,000 averaged cor per thou
sand. Since the Introduction of mild
er treatment among the rank and file,
however, the rate of suicide has gone
down to 4.22 per thousand, showing
that there is a distinct connection be-
tween harsh and mild treatment. The
italian army has 4.07. the French 1888,
the English 30, and the Belgian 2.44.
OF Russia there are no statistics on
hand. 1t is clear from the above that
the life of a soldier in Austria must be
anything but an attractive one.

IT was, however, matter of great
surprise to the community to hear
that Purser Sutton, of the Alameda,
had been arrested for opium smuggl-
ing and that the tins were found con-
cealed on his person. The purser was
so well known, held so responsible a
position, that when the news got out,
it was hardly credited. Of course,
smuggling by a great many people is
regarded as a venial offence. 1t is
crime created by law, and not crime
such as theft, murder, manslaughter,
and other which are recognized as
crimes in the most primitive forms of
government. But whatever a persons
private views upon smuggling may be,
when he is educated and thoroughly
understands the penalties of the law,
he can expect no sympathy if he is
caught in it's meshes.
Our community is very much diyid-
ed upon the question of opium. Very
earnest and very worthy people are of
opinion that there should be a license
and contend that a revenue would ac-
crue to the Government and that
opium smuggling would become a
thing of the past. Equally worthy
people support strongly the strict
prohibition of opium and consider that
no relaxation in the law should take
place. Both sides are very apt to
speak bitterly of one another and both
sides have arguments which bear con-
siderable weight. If the opium ques-
ton could be discussed in a calmer
manner than it usually is, some good
might come out of the discussion, but
it is, in this community, somewhat
like red rag to a bull. Those who
are in favor of strict prohibition are
regarded as fanatics; those who favor
license are regarded as bribed by the
Chinese gold. Until the question can
be argued with fairness from both
sides, things had better remain as
they are.
