cry. When only few miles of rotd
| are butt annually from cash taxes
the wok is often done with made
quate machinery and by men who
know nothing about scientific road
building. On the other hand a
county can well afford to employ a
competent Highway Engineer to SUI
perintend the work when compre-
hensive scheme is adopted to improve
all OF the main highways of county
under abond issue. Competent su-
pervision is the cvux Of the whole
matter. If the roads are built by
one who knows, and If they are prop
erly maintained when built they will,
like wne, increase in excellence with
age.
The objection is often made that
bond issues place too much of
burden upon the taxpayer. Let us
see If this is true. A tax of 2k
mills on each one dollars worth of
property makes 1t necessary for a
person owning $1,000 worth of prop
erty to pay $3.50 more annually for
good roads. A farm or afactory
worth $4,000 would be assessed at
$25 annually. If one is so fortunate
as to own 100000 worth of real
estate he would have to pay $3.50
annually. A 2h mill tax on each
$1.OO worth Of property in the coun-
ty will produce $4,000 for every ST.
100000 worth of taxable property in
the county. II the county has $780,
100000 worth OF taxable property
then 2k mill tax will produce $780,
600 year, which will be sufficient
to pay the interest on $1,000, 900
worth of bonds at 5 per cent per
annum. BY issuing say, $500, 900
worth of bonds the interest can be
paid and a sinking fund created
which will retire the bonds in less
than 20 years. The sinking fund
can be placed on interest and thus
help to pay the interest on the bonds.
Thus 1t will be seen that a ~
mill tax will entail only a small bur-
len on the taxpayers, even If he has
% pay 1t. but as matter Of fact the
enhanced value and the increased
citizenship have in nearly all cases
which have come under my observa-
ion been sufficient to pay the inter-
'st and create the sinking fund with
tut having to increase the current
axes for this purpose.

BUTTER AND BUTTER SUB
STITUTES

The great majority ii people eat
butter and much prefer it to any OF
the substitutes which have been put
upon the market. However, a great
many people must use substitute on
accou int of the high prices which
prevail during certain months of the
year.
Oleomargarine is the most common
substitute for butter and millions of
pounds of this product are consumed
each year. The difference in cost of
production between oleomargarine
and butter is SO great that when but
ter is retailed at forty cents per
pound, oleomargarine may be retailed
at twenty cents per pound at as great
profit to the dealer
The person who chooses to pur-
chase the substitute should be al
lowed to do so and he should be re-
quired to pay only the price of the
substitute. The difference in price be-
tween the genuine product and the
substitute is so great that dealers are
tempted to sell the latter forthe form
er Only by requiring that the con-
sumers may differentiate between the
two articles can honest traffic in the
substitute be insured.
This was contemplated by Congress
when the present internal revenue
tax of ten cents per pound was levied
upon "artificially colored oleomar-
garine." Many people think that all
oleomargarine is taxed ten cents per
pound. This isnot fact. Oleomar-
garine which is ''artificially colored."
SO that the consumer cannot distin-
guish it from butter is the only oleo-
margarine that is thus taxed. When
it is put upon the market, in it's ma
tural color it is only taxed one-fourth
OF one cent per pound.
1t is only when the product is made
to look like butter so that it may be
fradulently sold as butter that bur-
densome tax is imposed upon it. The
imposition of the tax is not to sup.
press the sale of oleomargarine or to
make it more expensive to the con-
sumner, but to prevent fraud in it's
sale.

RESULT OF THE PRIMARY LAW

Seattle, Sept. 5
A notable feature of the present
primary campaigns, which will end
with the direct primary elections of
September 10, has been the influence
Oh the Taxpayers League and other
organizations of citizens which have
made study of conditions in public
ofhces, and are working for the re-
auction of taxes by the cutting down
OF expenses wherever possible. The
cry for economy and an end of the
extravaganza of public office has been
heard all over the northwest, and
candidates everywhere have pledged
themselves to effect reforms that will
reduce expenses. This work in the
various counties will be supplemented
when the legislature meets by the ef-
forts of the State Taxpayers League.
which will keep an eye on the vari-
GUS appropriations bills, and seek to
prevent the rather free expenditure of
public money that was INDUCED in
by the lawmakers two years ago. In
this connection several candidates
have suggested reforming the method
Of procedure by the legislature with
the appropriations bills. They would
have the budgets of all state Offices
made up ten days after the legislature
meets, so that the lawmaking body
can have lots Of time to consider it,
and the committees will get good
chance to investigate any items that
Iook too big, and cut them down. Two

The Invention of the Panorama.

The panorama was invented by
Scotchman named Robert Barker who
obtained a license in London in 1877
and erected a rotunda on Leicester
square. He was associated with Rob
ert Fulton, the practical inventor OF
the steamboat, who introduced pano-
ramas into Paris in 1876, but resigned
in favor of Thayer perhaps in order
to give his attention to the application
Of steam to boats. Thayer raised a
rotunda on the Boulevard Montmartre,
whence comes the name Of the Pas
sage des Panoramas. Bonaparte caused
plans to be drawn up for eight pano-
ramas, in which his conquests were to
be shown to the Parisians, whom he
always tried to impress with the mag
nitude Of the achievements in order to
keep them faithful to his star But
these projects were never realized.

MISSION OF THE LAND.
To Produce Commodities For the Serv
ice of Mankind.

To Produce Commodities For the Serv-
ice of Mankind.
The mission Of the land is to pro-
duce and keep on producing food, live
stock, lumber and other commodities
for the service of man. He who owns
land and is Indifferent to this is guilty
of a moral wrong, and he who takes
good land out of commission and SUI
fers it to lie unproductive and useless
is guilty Of greater one. This is the
only criterion by which we can prop
erly Judge of the right Of an individual
to own land in large tracts.
The good results attendant upon
small individual holdings are natural.
The purposes Of nature in the upward
evolution of man are usually better
carried out in this way, and not be-
cause, as is so frequently argued,
every man has an inherent right to its
ownership. The lazy, the incapable
and the densely ignorant assuredly
have no such right. and land is too
precious and its mission too high to be
thus wasted.
II the owner Of a great country es-
tate can farm his land as well as or
better than If it were in small hold
ings; if, following the precept of Swift.
he made two ears Of corn or two
blades of grass grow where one grew
before; if he supply his section with
better breed of horses, cattle or sheep,
we'll and good. No one with any
knowledge of economics could say he
was doing any injury to the world or
mankind 1t is not the amount Of land
that he owns, but what he does with
1t for which he is morally responsible.

DANGER FROM ICE.
No Article of Food Is So CarelessI
Handled.

No Article of Food Is So Carelessiy
Handled.
A writer in the Atlantic Monthly
emphasizes one cause of the danger
Of infection from ice.
Scarcely another article OF human
consumption receives so much direct
handling just before its use as does
this food. Milk and water, tea and
coffee are poured. Bread, meat and
butter are cut. Bread, probably ham
died more than any other food on the
list. has a hard crust which offers
rather unfavorabe lodging place for
germ life. Ice, on the contrary,
washes the hands of every person who
handles ii and affords an ever ready
liquid medium for the immediate abb
sorption Of the hosts of Bacteria which
hands may carry. The carelessness Of
the handlers Of ice, their utter disre-
gard Of the resting places where II
may receive infection, may be partly
due to their lack Of realization that ice
is a food, as real a food as meat.
Whatever the cause, few substances
which pass through the digestive proc
esses Of man receive such treatment.
Its surface contaminated by the pas
sage Of men and horses in the cutting.
it's sides and base fouled by muddled
platforms and smirched straw, cover
ed with the filth Of black ice cars and
dust swept freight stations, your cake
Of ice commonly receives its only
cleaning just before it enters the ice
chest. So far as the iceman is con-
cerned, this is generally hasty brush
with a time worn whisk broom well
filed with the dust Of the street and
blackened with constant use. Accord
ing to the personal testimony Of vari-
Gus icemen, not even the precaution OF
momentary washing beneath the
faucet is ordinarily taken.

The proposition TO abolish the gentle
practice of OSCILLATION by anti-kissing
crlsades and health societies is Scoffed at
by those medical men of Washington who
have the least grain Of sentimentality left
in them, and is regarded as the hugest
kind of a joke. DR.. Harvey M. Wiley,
chief of the Bureau OF Chemistry OF the
Department of Agriculture, probably
knows as much about disease germs OF
various kinds as any other man in this
country. Dr. Wiley says he has yet TO
see a single instance in which life has
been wrecked or shortened as direct re-
suit of disease germs transmitted from a
diseased person to healthy one by the
kissing route.
