WORTH THINKING OVER.

ELSEWHERE, We are publishing
this week an interview of James j.
Hill, on the general business situation
in this country. Mr.. Hill is always
listened to by the public as an au-
thority on that subject, which fact
gives peculiar significance to this
sentence from his marks:-"They
are not as much afraid of the revision
of the tariff as they are of other leg
islatiOn which has been enacted in re.
cent years." Any one familiar with
the business situation in this country
will heartily endorse that statement.
Business can and does adjust itself to
tariff revisions, however much such
Tevisions may hurt for time What,
however, business cannot stand is a
spirit of heckling on the part Of the
governmental disposition to hamper
its movements, to supervise its con-
duct with much red tape and inept
officialdom, to subject it's control to
political influences and popular judg-
ments. No business conditions can
exist with freedom, certainty, and
success while such a spirit threatens
those conditions continually in gov
ernmental circles. "The other legisla-
ton enacted in recent years." to
which Mr.. Hill refers, is the multi
farious legislation, born of this spirit,
and it certainly seriously threatens a
strong, free, healthy forward move
ment in business conditions. One rea-
son people business people, are not
"more confident of the future" is be-
cause a lot of half-baked legislation
on business in the recent Iast keeps
them constantly and anxiously asking
What neXt?" In other words, bust
ness nor anything else can steer by the
foam.

situation. He positively asserts that
the law referred to above is not being
enforced. He further asserts that he
has followed the trail of several trac-
ton engines with exposed cleats with
out discovering the least sign of any
damage done; whereas, he has seen
clear evidence of damage due to the
speed of automobiles, weight OF au-
tomobie trucks, ETC."
A letter to this Office from the State
Road Commission appeals for the help
of every citizen Gin enforcing the laws
regulating the traffic on State roads,
in order to reduce the damage to the
minimum" Certainly. But in "regu-
lating the traffic" the farmer must not
be made the goat. He has very
grave suspicion that in planning and
constructing the system of State roads
he has already been the goat, and he
naturally resents being continued in
that role when it comes to regulating
the traffic" on these roads. We do not
want to encourage fight between the
farmers and the State Road Commits
sion. Neither ought that Commission
want to foment such fight. Where
fore, we suggest to the Commission,
that having taken the view point of
the automobi!ist so far, it might try
for awhile looking at things from the
farmers angle.

THE STATE ROAD COMMISSION
VS.. THE TRACTION ENGINE

LAST September the State Roads
Commission sought an injunction
from the Frederick County Court
against number of traction engine
owners in that county, prohibiting
their using the State Roads with en-
gines equipped with exposed cleats,
The Court denied the injunction on
the ground that the highways should
have been designed to withstand the
use of tractors which were prior users
of the road The State Road Commits
sion, in arguing for the injunction,
urged that the tractors should he
equipped with smooth bands when u.s.
ing the State Roads and offered 20
prove that engines so equipped could
move over the roads, drawing their
usual threshing outfit. The Commits
sion, in pursuance of this contention,
has just run 16-horse power engine,
equipped with smooth bands and haul
ing an outfit weighing four and one
half tons, from Cumberland to Fred
erick City, part of the distance being
over some of the steepest grades in
the State. In the light of this expert
ment, the State Road Commission
claims that there is no excuse for the
tractors not being equipped with the
smooth bands; and there seems great
justification for the claim.
The weakness in the argument of
the Commission, to our thinking, is in
their further contention that tractors,
not so equipped, are extremely de-
structive to the State roads. That is
purely matter of observation, of re-
liable evidence, and our experience is
against the contention of the State
Roads Commission. We thoroughly
agree that these highly expensive
roads ought not to be wantonly or
unnecessarily injured and that any
one so injuring them should be pun
ished. But the weight of testimony is
against the contention that all engines
with exposed cleats do injure the
roads. eve have law" says the
Commission, (which is being enforced

The War Revenue Bill

The war Revenue Bill, which was
passed by Congress on October 22d,
1914, and which becomes effective on
December first, requires that all prom
issory notes, deeds and mortgages
shall be stamped with the information
al revenue stamp, the number of
stamps depending upon the amount of
money involved.
Section 8 of this Act provides as fol-
lows:
On certificate of Indebtedness, FIVE
cents on each one hundred dollars of
face value or fraction thereof; and on
each original certificate of stock five
cents thereof; and on all sales Or

Grand Juries Make Good Suggestions

with great disregard to the travelling
public. We believe there is sufficient
law to punish reckless and fast driving
and we recommend that the County
Commissioners and the State Roads
Commission be more active in enforc-
ing the law and thereby protecting
those who have occasion to travel our
public highways. We believe that
much of the reckless driving is due to
intoxicated drivers, and We think if
the law in this regard is enforced and
that the licenses of intoxicated drivers
are suspended, that this evil will be
readily and cheaply removed.
We find the state highways through
the county are generally so smooth
that they are rendered useless to the
general travelling public, except for
those using automobiles, and we would
recommend that these roads by pro-
per top dressing be made serviceab!e
and safe for the use of horsse, and
that the proper authorities should
place at public crossings and short
curves, danger signals, in order to
give proper warning to the travelling
public. We think if the County Com
missioners would place watchmen on
these roads at con> enient points 20
take the speed of automobiles and the
prosecute all those who exceed the
speed limit, that all this nuisance and
danger emanating from the speed
rraze would be quickly stopped.
We find that the constab!es of the
county who come before US are entire
ly ignorant" of violations of any law.
We would recommend that the County
Commissioners who appoint these con.
stables and who are responsible for
the police regulations of the county,
should impress upon said constables
the importance Of their positions and
euuire them to be able to lay before
future Grand Juries, concretely, ali
cases of violations of the law. We
think it would be great saving of ex.
pense if the constables and bailiffs OF
the county would consult with the
States Attorney as to violations of the
law that only important witnesses
shall be brought before the Grand
Jury.

tine, the juice Of two oranges, one
and one-half ounces of lump sugar,
one new-laid egg, one-quarter pint OF
cold water.
Rub the sugar on to the orange rind
till it becomes quite yellow, then. put
it into a saucepan with the water and
gelatine. Cut the oranges open, strain
their juice and put it in with the gela-
tine and water. Let the whole heat
till the gelatine is melted, then re-
move the pan from the fire. Beat the
egg up very well. Allow the gelatine
mixture to cool and then pour it on
to the egg, stirring briskly all the time.

dipped in cold water, pour the jelly

Though Mexico offers many wonders
for the inspection of the traveller none
is more interesting or peculiar than
the salt-producing lake near Salinas
station. on the Tampico division of the
Mexican Central railway, ~ miles west
of San Luis Potosi. 1t may well be
termed a two-story lake, for at times
there is a lake Of fresh water over
living the salt lake A water-tight
roof Of green mud separates the fresh
from the salt water. For large
part Of the year there is no fresh
water lake there The sun licks it up
soon after the rainy season is over.
The salt secured from this lake goes
all over Mexico. The lake has been
worked about sixty-five years The
Whole town Of 5000 people makes its
living from the salt. The property
is owned by a family c. estate, but
it is said that not one of the owners
has lived there for years.
