70 the Shenandoah HERALD. !
The article in the HERALD of
the 10th inst, is so pertinent
pointed and intelligent that we
cannot withhold a bit of praise
for the writer of one of the most
valuable articles of the times, and
it shows in almost every line that
the writer knows whereof he
speaks and sees the necessities
of the times and knows this is
the time to strike at and mimi
mize a public nuisance. Why,
oh, why, can we not have such
men on our Board of Supervisors
as P. w. is. Why should we not
have more editorials as was given
in the same issue that contained
the able article by P. w. and
thus educate our people, give
them the benefit of enlightened
industrial progress and so far as
possible modify, with an ultimate
effort to eliminate, the old moss
back miser who finds fault with
the public school system, church
support, paving the minister, &c.
He is so burdened with the stlngy
microbe that the mere mention OF
taxes baralyze him and he has no
more use for a proposition that
has the odor of increased taxa
ton Cor public utility than a
chimpanzee has for the plan OF
salvation. The happiest thought
is that he may eyer linger in the
old log house surrounded with
dog innel and jimmy stickers.
Some say it is undemocratic to
tax people who do not use a GER
tain road, as for instance the
turnpike. He is taxed to keep up
the by roads, isn't he? some of
them he does not use once in a
decade.
Would not this apply to the
turnpike, were the toll gates
abandoned :?
Are we not taxed to pay crimi-
nal expenses of wet towns and
counties whereas our own crimi-
nal expenses are mere speck
compared with wet counties and
towns? There seems to be little
kick against this condition OF
moral and political economy.
Then again there is a large pei
cent of our citizens who pay a
heavy school tax and send nc
children to school as they may
have passed the school age OF
there may be no children. Should
we abandon the public schools
because of this discrimination?
Now why should not every good
citizen and every newspaper in
the Great Shenandoah Valley
join in a mighty effort to see that
the states 3-5 interest be transfer
red to the Boards of Supervisors
of each county through which the
pike passes? Then it could be
easily determined as to the final
abandonment of the public nui-
sance (the toll gates.)
Let us show our determination
to better, If not eradicate the
bar to progress Of one of the most
important highways in the state.

THE TOLL GATES AGAIN

The TOLL CAFES AiAlN
Judge E. D. Newman. without
replying to the editorial in the
HERALD again insists that the
HERALD should discuss the ques-
ton from his standpoint.
It will do so.
In reply to his first question,
it should be maintained as a
public benefit.
In reply to his second question,
There may be no other plar
under the law, as it stands" to
provide the necessary revenue.
In reply to his third question.
IF there is no other way under
the law than by the collection of
tolls, is it just to make all per-
sons using the road to pay pro-
Fortunately for the use of it? 1t
is under the law as it now
stands" What law is that? A
law that was passed by the last
legislature by the influence of the
Valley Turnpike Company, for
the benefit of that company. A
law to which the people of Shen-
andoah county have expressed
their opposition. They are today
by their representatives in the
Senate and in the House of Dele
G ates rndeavoring to annul the
provisions of the law by passing
another law and the officers of
the company have appeared be-
fore the Senate committee en-
deavoring to defeat the passage
of the bill.
1T makes no difference what
the toll custom was 80 years ago.
Conditions have changed all
along the lines, &C."
The HERALD agrees with him
there. S0yesrs ago, we not only
had toll gates, but the education
of the children was by private
means almost exclusively. The
school houses were generally
small log buildings and the fur
niture very rough. The writer
saw some years ago one two
story school house, the lower
story of which was used as a cat
tie scales and the upper story as
a school room. Now, in the
rapid growth of our country,
conditions change rapidly, &C."
That is certainly true. The
county that had a school room
above the cattle scales, now has
large modern school buildings
with improved modern furniture
and equipped in the best style.
Not only this, but in the most
progressive communities, the toll
gates have been abolished.
That the HERALD's position
may be fully understood it is
given as follows:
1. It is in favor of the very best
roads we can get, whether man.
ged by the company or the
county and State authorities.
2. It is in favor of treating all
citizens alike.
3. 1t is opposed to placing
more gates in Shenandoah than
is placed in other counties on an
equal length of road.
4. 1t is opposed to compelling
people who only use the streets
of the towns to pay toll to the
Turnpike Company for using
those streets.
5. 1t is opposed to placing toll
gates within the corporate limits,
so hat some of the citizens are
compelled to pay toll, when fuel
or other articles are delivered hy
the business houses of the town,
while other citizens are not sub
jected to this annoyance.
6. 1t is in favor of dealing
honestly and justly with the
Turnpike Company so long as
the Company deals honestly and
justly with the citizens of the
county.

Mr.. EDITOR:

success during MS coming Anso
sion of the East.
Mr.. EDITOR:
The undersigned, one of the
toll paying victims of the philan-
thropic gentlemen who control
and operate the Valley Turnpike,
has been interested in the discus
sion anent the establishment OF
| additional gates in Shenandoah
county for the purpose of further
mulcting a long suffering public.
In the absence of any publish
ed reports showing wherein either
the State of Virginia, which
owns three-ffths of the stock OF
the corporation, or the people
who pay the tolls into the trea-
sury, are so singularly blessed
under the present management OF
the corporation, the writer must
Join with the Editor of the HER
AID in pleading ignorance to
either its conduct or the ultimate
purposes of the self-sacrifcing
gentlemen who control the road
way.
| Judge E. D. Newman, one of
the Directors" in his turnpike
essay of last week, seeks to justi-
lfy the action of the Corporation
Commission in singing out Shen-
andoah county for further mulct-
ing by a series of paragraphs
showing why his home county
should be the victim of the COM
pany's effort to increase its rev.
enues. These were thoroughly
answered and ventilated in your
issue of last week, and now as the
Judge seems to take the peoples
ignorance so much to heart, it
might be educational for them to
be advised of existing facts in
the roads operation. Are not
these facts?
Virginia, as has been stated,
owns three-ffths of the stock. OF
the company, which stock is un.
der the control of the State Hig h.
way Commission.
Richard Evelyn Byrd is the
Speaker of the Virginia House OF
Delegates, and exercises a pow
erful political influence in Rich
mond.
Mr.. Byrd is Attorney for the
Valley Turnpike Company, and
his son, Harry F. Byrd is Presi-
ent of the Company.
Judge E. D. Newman is Secre-
tary of the Valley Turnpike
Company, and his son, E. W.
Newman is Treasurer of the Com
pany.
E. w. Newman is cashier of the
Citizens Bank of New Market, of
which bank his father is Presi-
dent, and which bank is reputed
to be the depositary of the Com
pany.
To enlighten our ignorance,
will the Judge kindly state how
much of the fund gathered at the
toll gates is appropriated in pay
ment of officers and directors,
and how much each receives.
On Saturday, January 9th, tile
State Committee, having under
advisement the bill introduced by
Senator Tavenner to prohibit the
erection of more than one toll
gate on each five miles of turn
pike, heard argument, and, ma
turally, Speaker Byrd and Judge
E. D. Newman appeared before
the Committee to defeat the bill.
1t appears to the writer that
the Judge occupies an anomalous
and not an enviable position in
his effort to saddle an additional
turnpike burden on the people of
his own county, and allow other
counties through which the road
passes to escape the additional
hold-up.
Frederick county will not have
to pay and Speaker Byrd is that
County's representative.
Rockingham country will not
have to pay, because Senator
Keezel was on the job when the
nefarious proposition was being
considered.
Augusta county will not have
to pay and Hon. Edward Echols

ON TRIAL AS
PYROMANIAC

Joseph Pelswig, of 102 Magnolia
street, is on trial before Judge William
p. Martin in connection with a blaze
that occurred at the home of Samuel
Grossman, 50 Fairview avenue, early
on the morning of September % last.
The complaint against Pelswig was
made by Battalion Chief NJ. p. A. Nc
Dermit, who says hat Pelswig is a
pyromaniac and is alleged to have been
responsible for a number of fires in
the section in which he lives.
Damaging testimony against Pels-
wig was given by John Stecker, a
huckster, living at 66 Fairview avenue,
~diagonally across the street from the
Grossman home, which is a three
story frame structure. Stecker said
hat on the morning in question he
had been awakened earlier than usual
by a sharp shower of rain beating on
his roof. He testified that it was about
4 o'clock, and that instead of going
back to sleep he got up n sat at an
open window.
He saw a man whom he identified in
the courtroom as Pelswig enter the
hallway of the Grossman home and no.

Stecker then went to his stable to

attracted his attention was the sound
of the fire engines. He went TO the
street and saw flames and smoke COM
ing from the stairway of the Grossman
home. where he had seen Pelswig only
a few minutes previously.
A few minutes later he noticed Pels-
wig in the crowd in front of the Gross

under arrest.
