in THE
BICYCLE WORLD

So long as the farmers narrow-tired
can be no good reason for taxing the BIZ
cycle that improves IL road and cannot
harm 1t. If only bicycles Travelled the
roads we should have none but hard,
smooth roads.
Wheelmen often offend against the
law which bids them keep to the right.
but where one wheelman does, ten
drivers do likewise. Drivers like the
middle of the road, and too often the
wheelman is forced to pass on the
right in order to get by. There is need
of enforcing the law in this respect,
even in Norfolk
The agitation for good country ads,
which the League of American Wheel
men has maintained for years. is rap
idly developing into proportions of
practical magnitude. This is particu-
larly true of the Western States, where
the need of passablc highways is felt
even more than in the Eastern States,
which, though lamentably backward In
this regard are still somewhat more
advanced than the later settled sections
of our country
The bicycle trust is having trouble
over its tax bill In Georgia Some
years ago the State began to tax each
bicycle company selling wheels within
its limits 500. The first OF the present
year the trust sent a check for 500 to
the State Comptroller, but got reply to
the effect that the company must pay
$500 for each separate make of wheel
it turns out. Under the proposed
arrangement the trust will have to pay
81 600, and 1t seems to think that the
State is discriminating against it, and.
In the end, no bicycles made by the
company may be sold in Georgia
