FINE MONU MENTS
Some Figures upon the Recent
Rainfall.

Did any OF The Tribune readers
ever consider just what the recent
heavy raius would amount to In
actual weights and measurements?
A great many people here can esti-
mate pretty closely what it Will
amount to in dollars and cents.
The other is just about as simple
and much more reliable. Take for
instance an inch OF rain, which
amounts in rough figures to 100 tons
to the acre. In reality 1t amounts
to ABOUT los tons to the acre, but for
this purpose 100 tons is close enough.
This would give 10000 tons to
quarter section and 1000 tons to
section OF land, a considerable load
fer mother earth to carry. ANYBODY
can easily figure how fiat that would
squeeze person caught under IL.
But exact figures need not end mere.
Since April 2l, when the long drought
was broken, there has been fall OF
s.. 81 inches of moisture, equal to 537
tons of weight on an acre, or 343,
tons of water on section OF land,
almost enough to smash In the crust
Of the earth.
This same amount Of water. could
it be frozen into ice and made into
a pyramid, would cover two acres at
the base, or 295 feet square and 43O
feet high on every section OF land
rather an imposing monument for
every square mile in a country where
it is supposed never to rain.
The last heavy rains OF May l, ,
and we're 2.6l inches. Forming
this into a pyramid in the same man
ner as the first mentioned and placed
upon one acie 1t would be 20s.7 feet
square by 333 feet high, which in
itself would be splendid landmark
to commemorate one rain stOrm.
Other figures might be given to
show how big a sheet this would
make il 1t be rolled. out thin and
stood on edge or how big sphere It
would make II made into that shape,
but all these com mbinations are for
the pastime OF uhe readers and the
figures given here are only to get

The taxpayers had enough of the old
county system in the short time it
ran and they are not disposed to add
to their present burdens for the sake
of restoring it. Counties are Injuries
and this is the day for the bare neces-
stiles of government-for simplifying
our administrative forms and saving
money wherever we can. The Legis-
lature is meeting to cut down expenses,
not to increase them; and the voters
are not disposed to elect a Legislature
which viii go back to the cid or go
sideways to the new extravagances.
The only way the county system could
be afforded is by skeletonizing the Ter
ritorial government by Act of Congress
and establishing a single county by
act of Legislature with each island
township to be governed by an un-
salaried Board of Trustees and repre-
scented by a paid supervisor. Only in
this way could the county system be
recognized without harm to the tax
payers. But why recognize it at all?
There are no counties in Alaska, nor
IN the District of Columbia nor in the
area embraced in greater New York.
Can't we get along without super
fiuities as well as they?

GOOD CHANGE
AT ORPHEUM

A change in the bill and perhaps a
reduction of prices, had the effect of
bringing out big audience at the Or
pheum last evening. Whether the
Nawns are playing better together as
the days go by or whether there was
really better stuff in the program, the
new bill is undoubtedly the most in
teresting and most smoothly presented
of the series.

PORT ARTHUR.

An expert military writer in the
Illustrated London News says that
Port Arthur is a most difficult place
to. defend unless protected by a friend
ly fleet outside. Although the place
has many forts the guns are not heavy
enough to keep an enemy at a distance;
and they are mounted on so high a
place that they cannot be depressed
sufficiently to fire on torpedo boats
operating close inshore as the Japanese
flotilla did on the night of the first at
tack
Another defect which the London
writer observes is that the forts are
too close to one another. Those in
shore doubtless receive any shells that
are meant for those on the immediate
sea border, if the range be too great. |
They are, moreover, placed SO close |
to the town, shipping, and harbor that |
a ricochet from the fort would prob
ably land in the town; or if the direc-
ton of the shell were correct it might
hit either the fort on one side, the town
in the middle, as did actually occur,
or the fort or railway on the other
side 1t was doubtless for this reason
that the Viceroy did his best to remove
all business houses and shops of every
description to Talien-Wan, and is an
other reason, together with the food ,
question, for the present exodus of
both civilians and troops"
Again. Port Arthur can be command
ed on all sides by hostile fleet once
the defensive fleet has been bottled up. !
There are positions on two TANKS where q
ships of war may sweep the neck of n
the isthmus connecting Port Arthur r
with its back country, thus prevent c
ing the receipt of reenforcements and a
supplies. This is why admiral Alexieff i,
was SO quick, after the outbreak of D
war. to remove his headquarters to a
Harbin. o.

The blessing bestowed upon Admiral
Makaroff by Father John of Cronstadt
may have led the Admiral to think he
had a charmed life. That is one of the
disadvantages which soldiers of a SUI
perstitious turn of mind experience in
war. The laying on of hands prompts
them to depend on the finite promise
of infinite aid and they cease to de-
pend on their common sense. which is
the best safeguard they have in battle
or anywhere else.

Exempting Manufacturers.

The mayors reported advocacy Of
a change in the tax exemption ordi-
nance by making the exemption for
the second five years instead of the
first is, of course, a very bright
idea. 1t is naturally likely that a new
and struggling concern, possibly
hardly able to pay expenses at the
start. wants to be required to pay
taxes the first five years, and the
next FIVE. when It is on its feet and
could better spare the money. be ex-
empt. This is tie usual way the ad-
minlstration does things. however
just the opposite from what they
ought to be done. In regard to this
ordinance exempting manufacturers
for five years from taxation as an
inducement to their location, IL the
city is imposed on II is the fault Of
the city officials who passed the or
dinance and enforce it, not of the
ordinance. Ii would not pay any
man or concern to embark In bust

taxes. He must have another OBJ

that object is doubtless to remain In

lighter on him at the start will help
him keep going. and II he keeps go

be expected that the general coun-

the council should remember that
If Paducah does not exempt manu-
facturers, those towns and cities
that do will have a better chance to
get them. There is no justification
for the city's being swindled or hood
winked in any way. All that is need
ed is little intelligence in applying
this exemption law. This may be
the reason 1t has been such a fail
ure under the present administra-
tion.
The question is not how much the
city has lost through the ignorant
and careless enforcement of the or
dinance in Paducah, however, but

to repeal this law when neighboring

Some Idea of how public affairs
have been conducted in past years
may be had from the report made
to the board of public works yester-
day-that out of the 175 days since
IL was built that sewerage pumping
station should have been operated
to keep the sewerage system free
from obstruction--it ran only five
hours! This was not only a shame
and a disgrace, but a crime. II sim
ply means that the 100000 gal
Ions of sewage that flows from the
sewerage system every twenty-four
hours, instead Of flowing out was
allowed for these 175 days to ac-
in the pipes. In the course
Of time. had the river gotten high
enough. the sewage would have ov-

Which made a certainty of hope

1t With these cities constantly
pulling the new factories and indus
tries, can Paducah afford to offer
less? Can the Pride Of the Purchase
afford to be less generous or offer
less encouragement to the new in
dustries every city wants so much
and should strive so hard to get?
II there were no other reasons, the
fact that other cities are glad to ex-
empt a new industry from taxation
for five years is ample reason that
Paducah, which is as eager to ex-
pand and land these enterprises as
any other city, should do likewise.
Nc, the object of the ordinance
exempting manufacturers from taxa
ton for five years under certain con
ditions is not to offer him a
reward. II is to induce him to
come here, and to give him a chance
to stay and get his business on its
feet after he gets here. Few of the
Industries secured in this way would
know whether they could remain five
years II they had to pay city taxes.
and they would naturally turn to
cities that lifted from them the bur
den of taxation for the first five
years. The law that is in force in
other cities is good enough for Pa
ducah. II is to be hoped that the
general council will not tamper with
IL.

Attorneys laugh at the city's alb
surd position in the Eighth and
Trimble street crossing affair. Proper
ty for street purposes can be acquired
in only three ways-by condemna-
ton. purchase or dedication The
city has acquired the property in
none Of those ways. The records
show that the Illinois Central pur-
chased the property years ago, paid
taxes on 1t and has never decided or
dedicated it. Until 1t does the city
will not own It, and until the city
owns it the city will never have any
thing to do with it further than to
use 1t under the agreement made by
the road with the city. That the
city owns the street simply because
the railroad has allowed the city to
use 1t. is absurd. and is no more true
than that one man owns another's
house because he lives in II. The
city might as well take a common
sense view of it and keep out of a
lawsuit. The tax payers feel that
they have enough lawsuits already
