The story of what has been achiev-
ed for Good Roads, in Renville Coun-
ty, as told by Hon. M. J. Bowling,
makes it clear that complete system
of good smooth roads is easily within
the reach of every county in Mime
sofa; and this without waiting for
state aid 1t needs only that the
spirit of cooperation shall be kindled
among the business men Of the towns
and villages, and work which, with
out that spirit, seems almost an i'm
possibility can be easily accomplished
without the imposition on any one of
more than a very light burden. Where
each contributes little, either in
money or labor, the aggregate looms
large, and only such intelligent guild
ance as was found in Renville Coun-
ty is needed to insure the greatest
success.

PUBLICITY OF PROPERTY AS.
SESSMENTS.

Before the taxation system of the
District is generally revised there will
be ample discussion of many proposals.
In SO important an affair it is alto.
gether unlikely that Congress will
move precipitately, and anything look.
ing like radicalism or experimentation
is likely to be discouraged because of
the general conservatism of Congress
in dealing with all municipal matters.
A Congress that will not permit the
city to be provided with q municipal
asphalt plant, on so strong a showing
as has been made here, is unlikely to
undertake anything extreme In the way
of tax reform without due considera
tion.
However, the proposal of annual as
sessments is so entirely commendable,
and 80 conservative forward step,
that it is hard to believe it will be
seriously opposed. Coupled with this
the Commissioners propose a plan for
publicity of the assessment figures, 80
that any property owner may easily
ascertain just how the tax burden
has been imposed on other properties
comparable to his own, and govern
himself accordingly in filing any pro-
tests that may seem justified.
There is at present no publication of
the assessment figures here, except a
very expensive one made by a local
printing house for sale to real estate
and other specialists. The assessment
records are subject to public inspection,
but comparatively few people have
time or disposition to 60 to a public
office and make such study; and if
more people desired to do it the
facilities for accommodating them
would be SO inadequate that the plan
would fail.
1t is proposed therefore to adopt
something like the New York plan
The city will be divided into districts,
and little pamphlet will be printed for
each district, showing the assessment
of each parcel of property. Any prop
erty owner will be able to buy the
pamphlet for his own district at cost,
perhaps cents, and by a brief study
of it can learn how his own assessment
compares with those of other people in
his vicinity.
This plan has produced excellent
effects in New York, and Assessor
Richards will report, after investiga-
tion, as to the feasibility of adapting
it to conditions here. There is every
reason why the utmost publicity
should be sought in regard to assess.
ments. Under the best system ever de-
vised inequalities are often serious. No
corrective is SO useful as publicity.

automobile. The gallant Frenchmen
felt sure that it must be a case of kid.
naping, and proceeded to turn in the
alarm. When II occurred the second
time the excitement reached the point
of frenzy. Everyone felt that there
was an epidemic Of abductions right In
the heart Of the most delightful and
most chivalric city in the world.
The offenders had been so quick in
their work, however, that it was i'm
possible to capture them, and gallantry
could only sit and wonder. 1t was the
topic of universal discussion on the
part of the people, and the authorities
themselves were becoming greatly dis
turbed.
The truth has just come to light, to
the effect that 1t was merely make
believe abduction rehearsed for the
benefit of the moving picture men, and
now Paris breathes easy once again.
There is q venerable story about the
boy who cried "Wolf! VOLTS so often,
when there was no wolf, that by-and-
by, when the wolf really came, no one
would take him seriously or come to
his rescue. These narrowing scenes,
enacted in the heart of busy cities
like Paris may bring about the same
result. How is the passer-by to know
that the kidnapping enacted before his
eyes is merely rehearsal for "The
Tragedy of the Kitchen, or Who Sat
In the PieH" The operators should be
required to label themselves in three.

people from the anxiety which is liable
to bring on heart failure in the midst

REALISM IN THE MAKING OF
FILMS.

The motion picture business has
reached proportions which few years
ago would have been beyond imagina-
tion. Many of the large manufacturers
maintain troops of actors and ac-
tresses, including tame lions and pet
elephants and boa constructors that
will eat out OF your hand. The habitues
of the moving picture theaters come to
know the leading character actors ap.
pearing in all the popular films, and
soon feel that they have a personal
acquaintance with them.
Occasionally. the production of a
startling film requires a whole city
for a setting. A mere lodge in the
wilderness with painted scenery is not
sufficient. One of those exigencies re-

GIVEN WRONG DIRECTION
AT THE UNION STATION

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
have read with much satisfaction
many of the letters published by your
excellent paper about the Washington
car service. I wish to call the people
of Washington's attention to an imposi-
ton that is being practiced on the
travelling public by the hawkers of the
Washington Electric Railroad Company,
especially by the man who wears a
red neck tie, who is stationed in front
Of the Union Station Of the city. I
must say that he aids one to more fully
appreciate the excellent surroundings,
the magnificent depot. and think of
the excellent quotations by Dr. Elliot
inscribed on the facade of the station.
l visited your city last week, and
asked for a car to the Raleigh. / was
put on a red Georgetown car by this
citizen, and told to get off at Twelfth
street, and having done so. l found
that was two country blocks from
the hotel. I made some Inquiries about
this practice. and found that the said
company has knowledge of tins. and
1t is regular practice for these agents
Of said company to send people out on
