PLEDGE THEMSELVES
TO REPORT CASES

A report was recently circula
to the effect that New Orleans
had a case of yellow fever. 1t af,
terward developed that the pa
tent was suffering from liver
trouble. Commenting on the re-
port, the New Orleans Picayune
has the following:
"With the hope Of regaining
public confidence alleged to have
been so wholly lost, the people Of
New Orleans have committed
themselves to apolicy Of the mos,
complete candor as to their sani
tary condition, and one of the du
tics it entails is to make public
proclamation of every case Of
sickness in their midst that could
by any possibility by the scien
titic pundits and medical experts
be considered as allied to or re
sem bling the disease that is charg-
ed to the stegomyia. 1t is IN com
pliance with the demands of this
engagement that the Picayune
prints sth e matters to which atten
has been called above. Whether
the course adopted will result in
ths restoration to the people OF
New Orleans the reputation for
honesty, truth and courage they
are alleged to have lost last year,
remains to be seen.
"But whatever is right and just
and worthy of the record of our
people, let it be carried out with
firmness, fortitude and intrepid
cou rage, but first let us find out
just on what such resolution is

Exempt Broad. Tired Wagons From Tax.

Editor Times-P Promoter
It has been Said by men who
ought to know that broad tired
wagons make it easier to make
aad preserve good roads. Ii this
is true, would it not be wise I
exempt broad tired wagons from
taxation?
There is no doubt that broad
tires will make fewer ruts, less
.slush and dust than narrow ones?
1t is we'll known that the narrow
tires now used churn and cut our
roads into sIushy ruts and mud
holes in winter, and grind them
into dust in summer.
| think IL would be good policy
to have law passed something
like this:
"All wagons having q breadth
of tire of two inches Or more, for
every thousand pounds carrying
capacity shall be exempt from
taxation. People who would get
the benefit Of this law would have
tires broad enough to- roll down

and make the surface of the roads
more compact. The loss of reve
nue. from such an exemption
would be small, because wagons
form but a small part of the total
taxable property, and because
the enhanced land values that
would come with better roads
would probably make up the loss.
There is little probability that
such an exemption would effect
a complete change from narrow
to broad tires in less than ten
years, because there are new
wagons with narrow tires that,
with little repairing, will las,
that length of time. l do not
know how many wagons there are
in this county, but for illustra-
zion will suppose there are 5000,
and that the average revenue
from each wagon is 30 cents, On
this basis the loss OF revenue, If
all wagons should change to broad
tires, would be 5000 per year.
1t is probable that this amount
could be saved out of the pay OF
contractors, as wi til broad tires
in use they would find it much
easier to keep the roads in good
condition, and therefore could
take contracts at lower rates.
On the same basis the loss OF
revenue for the whole state could
hardly be more than $4,000 per
year. This amount is mere
trihe compared to the advantages
that may be reasonably expected
from the use of broad tires.

access to exact 'lata would figure
on the loss OF revenue from ex
empting wagons and give US the
benefit of his work.
