I'll E ROLLEY

A western writer who is enthusiastic on the subject of electric railroads, has the following to say: "If there is any talk about running a trolley line any where through the community where you reside, go forth and meet the project ors more than halfway, give them the right of way across your land, push the enterprise along, for it is the best thing which could possibly hit you. Some men whose eyes are set too close together don't do this, but hinder and hamper the work ill every possible manner. The trolley line means full municipal privi- lodges and opportunities for the country resident, wider and better markets, bet ter schools and more of all that makes life worth living. Nearly every farmer appreciates the telephone and the rural mail systems, and the trolley road is the keystone to this improved type of country living"
 You may have read something recent ly that sounded very much like the above. THE NEWS said practically the same thing few weeks since, relative to the extension of the Berkshire Street Railway from Great Burlington to Ca- naan.
 The activities of the Consolidated road, or their holding company, during the past few weeks have convinced the residents of Sheffield, Ashley Falls and Canaan that the extension is assured
 It will be welcomed in Ashley Falls, Sheffield folks are enthusiastic and the residents of Canaan, although discus sing the matter but little, favor better train service which 1t is expected an electric road will afford between Canaan Great Harrington, Pittsfield and inter- mediate points.
 It is claimed that prosperity follows the laying of steel. May it be so in this case.

TAXING AUTOS

The state of Massachusetts is giving serious consideration to the proposition which involves imposing a tax on auto mobiles for the purpose of assisting to maintain the public highways. The highway commissioners state that the machines are having damaging effect on the roads, much more than horses and wagons, and they take the stand that the imposition of tax on them is just and right and the public in general and the taxpayers in particular are inclined to agree with them.
 At a hearing recently held ill Pitts field the fact was brought out that Tn warm weather the heavy and rapidly moving machines pick up the ''binder" in the state roads and ruts are the result. In wet weather they push it aside as mud.
 The automobilists, it is understood, do not favor the plan of taxing the machines per horse power in fact they do not favor any sort of tax) but suggest that if they are taxed at all, it be on basis of weight of the machine. They take the stand that heavy machine may be of

"RusTING" TRUSTS

Uncle Sam has commenced the task
 of throttling the Standard Oil octopus.
 Success to him. If he comes out top of
 the heap, he will receive the plandits of grateful and long suffering multitude.
 The Standard Oil company by it's high handed and extortionate methods, has elevated itself to the pinnacle of unpop- ularity and any relief from it's oppressive and domineering rule will be welcomed.
 And after the gentleman who wears the chin whiskers, spike-tail coat and striped pantaloons has crushed the oil trust, he will find abundant work along the same line in other directions. A dozen or so busted trusts, busted so they will stay busted, would be a most valua- ble record for the republican party to point to in the coming presidential cam paign. Hetty Greens view of the pres ent situation, when she says that the people will rise up in revolution against the trusts, is probably radical but it is a fact that the limit of public patience with these monopolies has been nearly reached and the political party of public official or officials providing the instru- ment by which the powers of these monopolies can be destroyed, will be in a position to ask for almost anything de- sired at the hands of the people with a remarkably bright prospect of getting it.
