the longer hauls to market generally

also are in the cotton states. The aver

1 sDuring the seven years following
1905 more than 81, 600 miles of new
railroad were built, and several thou
sand more miles have been added since
1913, SO that, there are at least 10 per
cent more miles of steam railroads In
the United States now than in 1905.
''In addition to this new mileage OF
steam railroads the hauls Of some
farmers have no doubt been shortened
by newgfre1ght carrying electric rail-
roads," -
The figures indicate a considerable
rise in the average cost per day to the
farmer in hauling his products. How
ever, this higher cost per day IS Offset
partly or wholly by the larger quanti-
ties hauled per day in 1915 compared
with 1906.

The average distance of farms in
New York state from the market is

IAx OH Monty
Editor Virginian;
sir--Mnch is said about the low
tax rate on money. but the interest
rate is low also Take 20 cents from
$500 and see what is left. Nearly %
per cent OF the interest goes for taxes.
Az the old tax rates We're never en-
forced, 1t did not matter how large
they We're Up to three years ago
a tax on money was never mentioned.
In 1914 ii was proposed TO abolish
the tax, and a 2-Cent rate was made
10 get around the Constitution. Gov
ernor Mann urged its passage The
Senate voted unanimously for 10
cent rate. but To get IL through tho
House as an emergency measure IL
compromised on 20 cents. IT was not
thought such small rate then.
To impose a tax on money is like
Ia farmer selling his seed-grain. or
his brood animals, for the sake of a
little cash. While some other States
exempt money from taxation and do
all they can To bring il in, this State
takes the opposite course. The South
has always suffered for the want OF
money. SO inten, il this state on taxes
that she seems blind to all other con-
sderations.

In 1912 the Richmond grand Jury
inve stigation, it is said. caused the
banks there to lose three million, and
had it lasted longer some of the
weaker ones would have gone under.
In 1909 Ohio turned her tax in
