county health officer. City Health
Physician H. L. criss reports that
there have been no cases Of the NAL

Der OF persons having the malady

Just little more than a year since
Fairmont was struck with q smallpox
epidemic and before the disease was
brought to check there were a total
OF forty one cases in the city.
At that time thousands of Fairmont-
ers were vaocinated and there is a pos
stbility that the large percentage vac
cinaed at that time is responsible for
the disease not being prevalent IN the
city now.

RAILROAD FUEL HEAVIER
Keeney Did Not See Peale in
CINCINNATI - Wreck
Blocks SCOTS Run.

Seyenty-seven more cars of coal and
coke were loaded yesterday on, the
Monongah division Of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad than on Tuesday.
This is 126 loads short of Monday
when s77 cars were loaded, which was
the heaviest since early In January.
Yesterdays loading consisted Of $50
cars of coal and one lone car of coke,
which was loaded west. Eastward
there were $50 cars loaded and west
ward 81 cars. Thirty-six unconsigned
cars we're moved yesterday, which to-
day brings the >unconsigned loads down
to 511.
Railroad Fuel.
A noticeable increase in railroad
fuel took place yesterday when the
total jumped to $50 loads, which is
the heaviest since May 16, when 2S3
cars were loaded. The first three
days of this week show total Of ISL
Just eight cars shy of the first three
days of last week.
Lake Shipments.
Shipments to the lakes yesterday
totaled 81 loads, which is the heavi-
est since May %, when 155 cars we're
loaded.
Some apprehension is felt by the
Fairmont coal operators shipping to
the lakes because of the heavy ton
mage secured by Illinois and Ohio oper-
ations at the expense of the Fairmont
field. Last year 100000 tons of coal
were sent to the lakes, although the
fuel administration had allotted Fair
mont 100000 tons. the difference Of
which could not b. handled because
OF railroad transpo .tation difficulties.

stances than any time in its history.

AUTOMOBILES As TAx-sEAReRe

"
A new form of property has come
into existence within the last 20 years,
and the taxing power of the state is
recognizing it more and more as an
object easy to identify and assess as
source of taxation. 1t is none other
than that very modern means of 10
comotion, the automobile. Even now
members of the Ohio legislature are
preparing to relieve the financial dill
emma of state and city by making the
fellow with the flivver and the pluto
crat with the limousine help to haul a
bit more of the very heavy burden of
public expenditure.
Taxation formerly was a simple
problem, in comparative sense.
Property was a very tangible thing
Then came the multitudinous forms of
intangible property out of which our
economic structure is so largely built,

now are rcckoned in the billions Much
of it is hidden wealth, so far as taxa

permits owners to retain a reasonable
share of their income from such in
vestments. But the automobile is a
large and blatant thing that announces
its presence to the world and the tax

speaks more or less luxury. As public

Newsprint Situation Becomes Very
Serious for Demand Is Big and the
Prices on Famine Basis Everywhere

Regarding the present newsprint
situation in the United States the Chi
cagoi Tribune said In recent edi-
torial:
The newsprint paper. supply is rap
idly approaching a stage which will
be fatal to many newspapers. The
per cent greater than the supply and
prices are on famine basis and going
higher. At present rates of advertising
it is, impossible for most newspapers
to make money.
1T this situation were the result
of manipulation or monopoly it might
be dealt with by the usual legal meas
ures, though prosecution and leRisla-
ton are disappointing in results.
IN fact the present situation is the
result of short sighted attempts in
the past to restrict the price of paper,
which has kept capital out of manu-
facture, SO that the industry now is not
able to meet the publishers needs.
THE crisis can be met only by VOL
untary self -denial--unless 1t be al
lowed to develop until the weaker pub
fishers go under. The Tribune is in a
fortunate situation because it manu-
features it's own paper. But it be-
lieyes 1t would be national misfor-
tune II newspapers or other publica-
tons of merit were victimized by this
abnormal condition, perhaps even to
the extent of being forced out of ex-
>istence.
