In several states the project of levying
a special tax on Automobiles for the main
tenance Of the state roads is being seriously
discussed, and owners are beginning to eX-
press the opinion that II they are to be
taxed for roads special highways for auto
mobiles only should be provided. Assem-
blyman Stevenson Is proposing bill at AL
bany, N. z, taxing automobiles for the
maintenance OF improved highways, and
number Of such measures are being talked
of in Massachusetts. In discussing this
subject Cortlandt Field Bishop of the runs
and tours committee OF the Automobile
Club of America said several days ago:
"In a number Of stAte legislatures there is
now talk about taxing Automobiles for the
support Of the ordinary roads. Now those
roads, mostly macadam, were not built for
automobilists and are not the right kind OF
roads for machines. Moreover, machines
are already taxed as personal property. If,
however, automobilists are to be taxed for
roads 1t seems to me that the automobilists
should have recognition by the establish
ment of roads specially built for their ex-
elusive use. If the automobilists' interests
were recognized by the building OF such
roads they probably would be more willing
to pay some special tax TO build and keep
up highways specially designed for them.
Such automobile highways would certainly
be a great thing for automobiles In giving
them separate roads where there would be
less chance Of accidents by collision with
horse,drawn vehicles and injuring pedes-

was attracted by little 1.oan mare running
in field. He got out of tie wagon and
started her up, and she struck such livery
gait that Splan sought her owner ant.
finally bought her. Why Splan did not get
the mares pedigree at a time when it could
have been had, if it was known by her
former owner. has never been explained
She was quite fast mare for her day, and
Splan campaigned her quite successfully In
the east and west, giving her her present
mark to high wheels.
Subsequently Little Splan became the
property of the late John Drainey of this
city. After his death the mare passed to
Washington Nailor of this city, who bred
her until she died a few years since. All
OF Little Splan's foals showed good way
of going, and some of them quite a good
deal of speed for the training they had
1t is not at all probable that at this late
day her breeding will ever be known.
1t may be said in passing that the dams
of numerous famous sires have passed into
turf history with their pedigrees untraced
simply because at the time of purchase the
new owners did not take interest enough in
the matter to secure their breeding. Such
carelessness on the part of buyers Is little
short of criminal, if the animal be a mare
or stallion. Thousands of dollars and much
valuable time have been spent in searching
for pedigrees which might have been saved
if the new owners had only shown a little
at the time of purchase. Men
die or move to distant parts of the coun-
try. or fail to respond to letters of inquiry,
and thus many pedigrees of great impor-
lance to breeders are forever lost.
By just such carelessness the pedigree of
the dam of George Wilkes, one of the very
greatest of sires, is irrevocably placed in
the unknown" column. The same may be
said of the dam of Abdallan I, the sire of
10, and likewise of the dam
of Abdallah. 10 and Mambrino Chief-all
founders of great families.
