MISUNDERSTANDING AND PRIVATE

The prOSoSition to install an auto
mobile stage line between Berry
vile and Winchester meets with
our unqualified approval. AS our
readers will recall, we have been a
persistent advocate of trolley
road between these points, and as
the trolley project seems to have
been inde6nitelys postponed, the
automobile would certainly fill the
place of the trolley Cat least tenn
porarily).
If established, the automobile
stage line will be the means of Sc
curing lower railway rates between
BerrNviile. Winchester and Wash
ington, for the reason that round
trip ticket can now be purchased
from Bluemont to Washington at
practically the same price charged
for one-way ticket from Berry
vile TO Washington. The rate on
the automobile stage line would
certainly not be SO great as this
charge, and thus money would be
saved to the travelling public.
Considering these matters in a
public light, with due regard for
the welfare of individuals, it seems
TO us that no one should stand i'm
Jhe way and prevent the Turnpike
Companies and the Board of Super
viSors from giving annual toll rate
20 such public enterprise and
utility. As therate on horse-drawn
vehicles Is just about half the reg
ular charge of automobiles. it seems
to us that an annual automobile rate
Just double the rate charged for
horse-drawn vehicles of the same
class would meet every requirement
of justice and equity.
If the Board of Supervisors and
the Turnpike Companies take the
Wow that they can not, or will not,
issue annual rates To such public
enterprises as we have mentioned.
then the Legislature will pass laws
providing for such contingencies.
We hope the Board of Supervisors
and the turnpike Companies will
remember the words of Judge
Harrison in the celebrated bridge
cases, when he stated that the ferry
franchise owners had got in the
way of public Improvement, and
that, unless they got out of the
way, they would get run over.
The same argument applies with
equal force to the Turnpike Com
panies and the County Bridges.
The issuance of annual rates to
automobile stage lines, as we'll as
private automobiles, is a public
benefit, for the transaction of bus
mess will be quickened and cheap
ened; and if any body of people
endeavOr to combat such a state.
they will make a serious and fatal
mistake.

Death OF DR.. William ]. Best

DR.. William j. Best, of Bruce
town, Frederick county, died sud-
denly last Wednesday afternoon,
aged IA years.
DIR. Best was born in Loudoun
county, Va, on August 6, 1884.
He began the study of medicine

How East He Could Go.

A breeder and trainer of race horses
who Is known almost as well in Eng
land as he is here recently sold a
horse TO an Englishman. The English
man before paying for the horse quib-
bled bit abost the price and then
said:
You know. I'd like TO see the horse
first just TO see how fast he can 60"
Never mind about that" said the
trainer. He can't go any faster than
| can tell it."-New York Sun.
Clarke courier. [volume] (Berryville, Va.) 1869-1997, 1908-02-12

that we have been crlticising this
ludicrous assessment system all the
time, and have been advocating
vigorous steps in the matter. We
will consider the publication of the
tax figures which the gentleman
asks for, and. if we find that we
can get at the figures, or can legally
publish them, they will be pub
hed.-EDrroR COURIER.
When the question of establish
ing the new normal school comes
mp for discussion in the senate the
matter of location will be the bone
of contention.
Radford, Harrisonburg. Martins
vile, Salem, Front Royal, DanviIle,
Manassas, Culpeper, Lynchburg,
Newport News, Roanoke and other
places are willing to give free
sites for the new school, and for
this one item the State will not
havet0 make any outlay.
AS matter of fact, there have
been several offers of ractSof lands,
and all these are now in the hands
of the committee. The value of the
lands in question varicS-greatly.
Not 50 long ago a delegation arrived
nerc aud 1t began TO blow aud to
eXtoll and boast and laud the eli
mate. the water, the facilities, the
high character of the people, the
church and social privileges and
many other advantages. The land
was worth $500 at least.
1t was the value of the land that
attracted attention. The members
of the committee and members of
other delegations sat up, looked
around. Then they began to fig
GER and one gentleman of an in
quiSitorial term of mind had the
$50, 900 land offer explained, meas
ured and described by metes and
bounds.
Then the inquisitorial gentlemen,
the Thomas of the audience, hied
himself to the auditors office and
began little investigation.
Any S35, 900 farms in and
around -, COLONEL" asked the
gentleman of Colonel Marye, the
auditor, who keeps track of such
little things.
Wait moment said Colonel
Marye. How muchl Did you
really say S35, 000l lam astonished
Certainly, there are many farms
In that section worth that sum.
Fine lands there. Farming. graz
ing. timber. Excellent. But wait
moment" and Colonel Marye
got out his records and found the
land in question. The description.
metes and bounds fitted, and then
the gentleman with inquisitorial in
clination gave shout of laughter
that made Colonel Marye's famous
laugh sound like litter.
The S35, 900 tract of land was
valued, for taxation, at total of
$1,000.
These facts are of record, and it
goes TO show the difference in the
valuation of land when the tax as
SCISSORS get around and when the
same land is offered for sale.
The same thing is true in every
section of the State, and it is time
there was board of equalization
or something that will put a reas-
enable value on lands" remarked
a man who is cognizant of the
disclosures made.
And to show how cute some 9TH
ers are, cash contributions have
been offered in other cases in addi-
ton to a free site for the school,
but no mention is made of the value
of the land. And the land is easily
worth 81, 800.
The discussion of the matter will
be strong argument for those who
are favoring some method whereby
value of lands in the State may be
ascertained-the manifest great
discrepancy between values for
taxation and the market price of
the same land.
