THERE are several of the Demo
cratic members Of the next Lcgisla-
ture who favor the communications
OF the State Tax Commission. 1t APP
pears that Mckinney, late Democratic
nominee for congress in this district,
is not the whole cheese after all. He
is bitterly opposed to the recommen-
dations. But we believe there are a
lot OF Democrats who are bitterly OPP
posed to him. An echo from the re-
cent campaign brings that sort Of a
sound TO our ears.

THE report OF the Tax Commission
Is attracting wide attention but not
so much among the farmers as II
should. The recommendations, as we
see then, are especially in the inter-
est OF the agricultural class and yet
they take 1t for granted that there Is
n scheme of some kind ON hand and
that 1t will come out all right, whcth-
er they manifest an interest OF not.
Those most concerned at present are
the coal barons as some chose to term
them, the big timber and lumber men
and the brewers. They will all have
their lobbies;s there In great numbers
and nothing will be left undone to
modify the recommendations in their
behalf. Some of the recommends
tions may be radical but they appear
reasonable and just. The Legislature
will doubtless give them careful con-
sideration and deliberate on them for
the best interests OF all concerned.
The movement of making some change
In the tax system in the state appears
90 be necessity and the last Legisla-
ture very wisely created the Tax Com
mission. While its recommendations
may not be carried nut or adopted to
the letter, yet its Investigations viii
prove beneficial and helpful to our
legislative solons in arriving at a ju-
dIcious solution of the problem.

IT is gratifying to learn that street
railway from Clarksburg to Salem is
assured and that It will be built and
in operation within less than year.
The need OF street railway was not
SO much felt in this city when 1t was
not here, but it would be utterly i'm
possible to get along without it, since
the citizens have learned It's advant-
ages and received the accommodations
It affords. The same conditions ap-
ply in reference to the proposed line
to Salem. 1t will, indeed, be OF great
advantage to all those who live along
the route. The people at the terminals
will also be gceatly benefited. Every
legitimate encouragement In the pow
er of the people should be given the

GIBRAL TAR LOSING GROUND
AS COALING STATION
Comparatively Few Vessels Now Make
Use Of the Port.

Gibraltar is rapidly losing its i'm
portance as a coaling station. Last year
the coal trade al Gibraltar decreased %
per cent. and there was a marked de-
crease in the number Of vessels which
took fuel at the famous Spanish port
r. n. Bartleman. the United States
consul at Cadiz. spain. in report which
has just been issued by the Department
OF Commerce and Labor. calls attention
10 the decrease Of Gibraltar's CONNER
cial importance.
IN 1889 vessels took $4,000 tons OF
coal at Gibraltar. In 1890 the amount
OF coal taken was $4,000 tons The sale
in 1900 was only 800. 900 tons. A year
later It shrank 10 21e 600 tons. and last
year only $4,000 tons were taken by
sh-gs
The d1mcuIties and special conditious
which the port of Gibraltar offers TO YES
sells coaling are discussed by Mr.. Bar
tIeman. who concludes his report as
follows:
The authorities do not permit opera
tions except in the daytime. and vessels
must place themselves alongside Of coal
huIks. which often causes damage and
recIamations. For these and other rea-
sons few vessels call at Gibraltar. The

A series of observations are now being
carried on by the scientists of the
Smithsonian Institution with the newly
completed coelostat which, it is hoped.
viii enable mankind 10 predict with
great certainty the weather. These OBJ
servations deal with the absorption Of
the suns rays by the gases which sur
round the sun. 1t is thought this alb
sorption varies and thus has a great in
fuence upon the weather conditions on
the earth The more rays absorbed by
the gases the cooler it is on earth, and
vice versa. The observations are based
on this theory. sufficient number of
observations have not yet been made 20
furnish stable basis for this theory.
Largest of It's Kind.
The new coelostat which has been
erected in the rear of the Smithsonian
Institution is. the largest in the United
States and differs from the other instru-
ments in that it has a second mirror
that gives a fixed northern ray, as we'll
as the first mirror which reflects a ray
from the different positions Of the sun.

ton with the coelostat. has horizontal
length of 40 feet.
