WHAT CAN Do
Facts For The Republican Tax
payers.

To the Editor of The Republican:
Having announced myself as a candi-
date for the Senate, it is in order for
me to explain what | will do when | get
there
If any other gentleman in Garrett
county, regardless of party politics. can
show that he is better qualified and
equipped to carry out the following
promises, in the interest of the tax
payers and the people generally, | will
promptly step down and out and help
to elect him in my place.
In the first place | assert most posi-
lively, that if | had been summoned
duces tecum with my maps, plats, alb
stracts of titles, and other data. along
with Alexander C. Mason. surveyor, as
witnesses. in the case of Garrett county
versus the Consolidated Coal Company,
the case would have ben decided the
other way entirely. | positively know
this to be fact beyond successful con-
tradictiUn.
The result of such decision would
have been a saving to the state of over
$4,000 in state taxes annually. Also
a saving to Allegany county of S75, 600
IN taxes annually, and saving to Gar
rett county of over $40. 900 in taxes an
nually. | still possess the necessary
data to prove these statements, in any
court OF justice, and challenge a fair
and full investigation of the facts in
my possession. Furthermore my data
and knowledge of the inside facts will
forever end the notorious boundary dis
pute between Allegany and Garrett
counties.
Furthermore, if elected to the Sen
| ate, | can secure the passage of my
amendments. to the charters OF the
companies represent that were defeat
ed two years ago. With these amend
ments passed 1t will be only short
time until you will see electric railways
built from Deer Park to Uniontown and
Plttsburg; also a branch from Miller 5
run to Grantsville and Meyersdale, via
Cherry Creek, Bittinger Jennings, etc.
Also branch from Cherry Tree Mead
ows to Accident and the Cove. thus
opening up the entire Flatwoods settle
ment.
/ frankly put these promises down in
black and white, so that l can be held
to their literal fulfllment hereafter, if
am elected to the Senate this winter.
Respectfully yours,
HIRAM ?, TASKER.

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
GAIN IN IRON AND STEEL
Recovery Slow, but Favorable DeveI.
opments In All Divisions
Reported.

r. G.. Dun G. Company's weekly
Review of Trade" says:
with bank clearings outside New
York 15.9 per cent better than last
year and 24.5 per cent better than In
1906, and in New York 24.1 per cent
larger than in 1908, and 1.3 per cent
larger than in 1906; with railroad
earnings for the month of April show
ing gain of 1879 per cent over 1908
and only 1913 per cent decrease as
compared with the banner year Of
1907; with immigration $4,000 larger
than last year; with imports much
greater than in 1908 and nearly equal
to 1907; with distinct gain In the
iron and steel trade In both orders and
prices with hardening tendency in
copper; with works Of new construc-
tion going rapidly forward, the trade
situation seems to afford ample
grounds for the prevailing belief that
as soon as tariff revision Is out Of the
way, the last obstacle to full restor-
alton of normal industrial and mercan-
tile activity will be removed
Notable, indeed, Is the better feel
ing in iron and steel. Favorable de-
velopments In nearly all divisions are
reported.
"The primary dry goods market con-
tinues quiet, prices remaining at their
present level in view of the firmness
of raw material
"In the export division some inquiry
is reported, but little business has
been placed, sales to China amounting
to only 1000 bales of 3.24 yards sheet
ings, while some small orders have
been secured from Africa and Austria
liza, and Malina has bought slightly
larger quantity of prints than its rec
ent average. In woolen goods the
volume of duplicate business from
buyers of mems wear lines increases
gradually.
"The leather market is stronger all
around in sympathy with the hide sit
uation, prices advancing steadily.

BRAIDED RUGS.

Braided rugs are now the fashion.
Formerly one saw them only in the
country but now they are seen In city
bed rooms and living rooms. Any
country housewife might make money
by braiding strips of rags during the
long winter evenings and making them
into rugs to sell. If city boarders
come to the country in the summer,
they will buy, but surer way of sell
ing them is to make arrangements
with some of the numerous women's
exchanges or women's industrial
unions that are found in large cities
and where handiwork of women is sold
at a good figure. Hooked rugs are
equally in demand, and some every
beautiful ones may be made by the
country housewife-Indiana Farmer.
