THE PRICE OF MILK.

A notice in the papers yesterday
warned the housewife that the price
OF milk would be raised by the dealers
TO seven cents a quart. 1t has not
been long since the dealers raised the
price from five to six cents on the pie a
that feed was higher and that they
were not able to produce milk at the
lower price. This was accompanied
by a promise that when feed got
cheaper and pasture came, the price
would re reduced. Instead of a reduc
tion as the next move, We get a raise.
This time there is no mention of a
reduction and We may find a raise in
the price at any time
The milk that is sold to the con
sCmer in Martinsburg is none of the
best and to have to pay seven cents a
quart for what We get seems a little
bit exhorbitant A pub ication of the
analysis IL the milk you are drinking
would probably stagger you and cause
you to think a second time before you
paid seven cents for a quart of the
extract.
The other day, in Maryland town,
the health officers stopped every dairy
man and took a sample OF the milk for
analysis. This took the dealers una
ware and it is said that some Of them
started their wagons home on a gollop
without serving their customers, to
avoid having a sample of their milk
get into the hands of the health Off
GERS.
1t might be possible that a great
deal o, the disease that is prevalent in
this city comes from the supply of
milk. 1t would be a precaution If the
health officers would examine all the
milk and make each diaryman produce
a milk up TO a certain standard before
al owing him to sell it 10 theconsum
er.
There is SOM ing wrong with the
milk that is sold to people of this city.
and most Of them believe that they
are not getting pune milk but they
have no way of compelling a diaryman
to give them pure milk.

THE CITY VS.. THE RAILROAD.

A dispute between the city of Cleye-
land and the Lake Shore Railroad
leads toward a proposed revival of a
measure that may now fairly be
classed as OF the medieval period
in railroad development. We gather
that the original dispute is over the
site for a union depot, in which mat
ter the railroad, as is the wont Of cor
porations. demanded a contribution
by the city for the site, which is to
be for the railroads use and behoof.
On this deadlock things went from
bad to worse until threat Of the raF-
road to build its depot somewhere else
than the city wants it produces the
proposition ON the part of the city for
a return thrust An ordinance of an
cent vintage limits all railroad trains
TO six miles IN hour within the city
limit. and it is proposed 10 enforce
this.
AS it is nine miles from the eastern
city line to the western, along the
Lake Shore, this means that every
train or engine would have TO be an
hour and half passing the given
distance.
The Century Limited would thus be
broCgh down TO a rate of progress
that would make Cleyeland's automo-
tilists die of ennui IL is the Cleve-
land idea that this would hold the rail
road. 1t might do so, but does it not
occur to the Clevelanders that 1T might
also reeoil ON Cleveland?
The idea that a city or town can
serve it's own interests by hampering
railroad in Its legitimate service is
over half a century cd, was inspired
by the notion that it could anchor the
permanent prosperity OF its eating
house interests by forcing a break OF
railroad service and compelling all
passengers to change cars; but after
that fight was fought out Dunkirk did
not cut an imposing figure in the his
tory of the country's growth. Ceve-
landers might stop and reflect whether
the imposing of a limit that would
make the railroad passage through it's
, limits funeral procerston is likely to
be popular with the very respectable
proportion of the population which
travel that way. Indeed 1t might be
WORTHY while to reflect whether, if such
an issue were waged to the bitter end
the railroads might not find the last
word by taking their through trains
around Cleveland instead of through
it
We are not disposed 10 dispute, that
the railroad has been g eedy and arbi-
trary in the union depot matter since
such is the custom of corporations
But the city can better afford to leave
the responsibility on the railroad for
the defeat of an improvement than to
resort to a measure OF the pr.meval
stage of development ard likely to
injure the general travelling public and
the city itself as much as the railroad

TAXATION OF THE AUTOMOBILE.

Taxation of automobiles according
to the horse power they generate has
been adopted by the French govern
ment as the proper treatment of for
eign machines. The higher the horse
power the greater the destruction
the machine is capable of doing.
Certainly IT is the fast going ma
chine which scatters the dust. The
next legislature will have to deal
with the question I taxation OF the
automobile, and 1t is important to
start right It may be difficult to
change the law after II Is once on the
statute books unless the automobile
owners want 1t changed. They are
an organized body with definite ideas
Of what they desire, while those who
wish to see them fairly regulated and
taxed are unorganized. The state
should have some sensible law for
regu' ating the speed OF the machine
and levy upon it reasonable tax to
help repair some of The damage it
does to the roads This can be done
while recognizing the value OF the
machine to the development of the
state. In few years when the state
has a system of good roads, the num-
Der of automobiles here will largely
increase.-M New Domin-
ion.
