road were to settle back insits place
the damage would be be so great but
as most of it passes OFF into the ad-
jacent fields. hedges and houses, this
dust as binder and protector OF
the road. is lost
The maintenance Of our good roads
is costing US a great deal of money
and in the future will probably cost
us considerably more. so that an an
nual appropriation from our taxes Will
be necessary AS this tax must be
borne and furnished by someone, it
seems only logical that the instru-
ment that destroys the roads should
help very materially TO keep them in
repair This is already recognized In
many of our States and by most for
eign countries In most instances the
tax is laid according to the horsepow-
er OF the machine but not always in
direct proportions, nor at a regular
percentage. For instance, a twenty
horsepower may pay ten dollars but
forty horsepower would pay forty
dollars and sixty horsepower one
hundred or more. In England the
law was made in this manner from
sixty horsepower and upwards the tax
is two hundred and ten dollars, while
the twenty or under is something like
twenty dollars. In Massachusetts
New Jersey and like States having
motor vehicles the annual sum from,
automobiles is nearly four hundred
dollars All this money is devoted TO
the maintenance of their improved
roads In France, Germany, Switzer-
land, Austria and other countries they
have very good roads. but the upkeep
of them entails heavy expense Their
roads are not any better built than
ours but they have learned that to
have good roads you must take care
of them Even costing as they do, IL
is known by long, practical experience
that they are good Investment
This letter is not meant, however,
to discourage the use of the automo-
bile, but merely to show that we
should derive some taxes from them
, for the upkeep of our stone roads.
To digress a little from the subject
of income. we might mention the im-
portance of the automobile. The auto
mobile associations we're a large fac
tor in pushing the good roads move
ment and securing adequate legisla-
tion to build good roads. IL has ex-
pedited and made possible the trans
portation Of all sorts of merchandise
and food stuff It has brought the
/ distant parts of the country in close
touch with the city markets. 1t has
/ put many millions OF money in circu-
llation and has raised the value Of farm
/ lands The records of all places hav-
ing good roads and automobiles show
that the amount of money put in cir
culation by them is very considerable
land that visiting or transient auto
mobiles bring with them people who
spend money and increase the pro-
ceeds of most all classes Of trade. In
fact the automobile should be encour-
aged Under proper safeguards and
conditions it is a very valuable assert
to any town or county.

will seek TO popuarze their administration with the
people and do what they TO hold in check the
unthinlng radlcalism Of Democratic Senator's and
Representatives who doubtless will desire to pass
many laws which in effect would prove runous to
established business and those who dependent

If Mai Sylvester should protect
the inaugural paraders today IN the

he will stand a hrst-rate chance of
losing his job
Not only was the whole thing a
disgrace TO the Capital City, where to-

will witness the Presidential pageant,
but the superintendent Of the Metro
pOlitan police by allowing the ropes at
the curbs OF the avenue TO be

may act as a boomerang upon him

pie will insist on doing the same
thing they did yesterday with im-
punity.
Whether Maj. Sylvester is person

Since the advent of the auto
mobile the question of the upkeep or
maintenance of our improved stone
roads has been a most vital one. Be
fore the era of the automobile the
stone roads were chopped and ground
by the steel tire and the horse shoe
into dust the same as now, but then
the dust remained on the road as a
covering or binder until a wind,storm
of sufficient force came along to carry
II away, when again the wearing and
grinding process was repeated. Now,
however this process goes on cons
stantly. the dust or binder being car
ried off every time any high speed
motor vehicle passes over the road
after a steel tired one
This is not true. however, to any
great extent in motor traffic under
twenty miles an hour The United
States Government road engineers
some few years ago made several eX-
haustive tests on this. subject A high
power automobile of a stated weight
and horsepower was run over certain
stretches Of macadam roads and tests
made at different speeds, in multiples
of five miles each and instantaneous
photographs made of the results. At
five ten. fifteen and up to twenty
miles an hour, no perceptible dust
appears In these pictures, but with
twenty-five miles and upward the dust
shows very clearly. increasing as the
speed increases, until at a speed Of
iifty-miles an hour the dust forms a
