WHERE CUTS SHOULD BE MADE

If the railroad presidents and hum
dred and one other high priced Of
ficials were to receive a salary cut
there wouldn't be so much dissatisfac-
ton over the reduction in wages among
the men who really earn their sal
Record.
The Record said something that
time. The big salaries Of the necessary
high officials ought to be cut to the
quick and all supernumeraries re-
manded to the scarp heap. 1t that were
done the men who do the real work
of railroading would be less inclined to
fight a reasonable reduction in wages.
However, the Freeman-Journal is not
sure reduction in wages now earned
would be advisable or necessary. 1t is
better for everybody when wages are
high. OF course there is fair limit.
The real fault with the railroad wage
scale is the sums payed for services not
actually rendered. due to unwise rules
and practices.
Here are a few of the rules that look
wasteful and must result in men re-
ceiving pay for services not rendered.
The questions and replies are furnished
by the st. Louis chamber Of commerce
and have not been disputed by organ
lied labor so far as the Freeman-JOur-
nal has observed:
Is it a fact that railroads cannot re-
quire shop employees to pass physical
examination when entering service so as
to protect them against fictitious
claims for hernia, defective eyesight,
etc?
Yes. Not only can railroads not re-
quire them to pass physical examina- !:
ton but they cannot question them as
to their past reference. They can only
be required to state their age and that
they have had four years experience.
Is it fact that before Government
control shop men were required to pass
a physical examination?
In many instances it was required.
Is is true that where arrival of trains
require the service of employees two
hours in the morning and two hours in
the evening. say s to 10 n. m. anu 70
S p. m. that railroads now have 10 EN-

According to the record published by
County Treasurer Harrison there are
more than 500 automobiles in Hamil-
ton upon which the taxes for this year,
though delinquent. have not yet been
paid That is more than ten per cent
of the entire number of cars in the
county. Every auto owner ought to be
required to pay, and probably will be,
the delinquents having some costs and
penalties to liquidate. Under the
law the car can be sold for the tax.

A COLLEGE EDUCATION.

Arthur Brisbane. the well known edi-
tor, thinks the value OF college edl'-
cation is greatly overestimated, and
there are many other practical men
who hold similar views. Large num-
hers Of college graduates get it into
their heads that they should not work
that they should live by their wits.
That is where they make a grave mis-
take. The college man ought to work
hard, very hard. and his education
ought to enable him TO accomplish more
than those not having such an educa-
ton.
In touching upon this problem Mr..
Brisbane recently said in the Chicago
Herald Examiner
: Thomas A. Edison says college men
are amazingly ignorant They are
probably no more ignorant than they
would have been had they remained out
Of college. Edison and others. rather
toolish!y, expect a college education to
Increase a mans ability. 1t does not
Go so. On the contrary, it takes him
away from the observation and study
Of practical life at time when practi-
cal information is most easily absorb
cd. A college education of the average
81 periicial kind is dangerous. 1t gives
the Young man good opinion Of him
self, based on nothing. 1t makes him
expect special consideration to which
lie is not entitled.

INHERITANCE TAX.

The Iowa legislature enacted one
good law when it passed the direct
inheritance act. Heretofore the state
has received nothing from direct heirs,
that is from direct descendants Of the
deceased, receiving only from legacies
and requests by nephews. cousins. etc.
or to more distant relatives. Under the
new law no tax will attach upon inheri-
tances under the value Of $4,000. but
upon all sums above that amount there
will be taxes, the amount OF which is
to be determined by the size of the for
tune left.
Here arc the general requirements Of
he paid on various estates.
One per cent on any amount in OK
cess of $4,000 up to $4,000.
One and one-half per cent on any
amount in excess of $4,000 and up to
$4,000.
Two per cent on any amount III eX-
cess of $4,000 and up 100000.
Two and One-half per cent on any
amount in excess Of 100000 and up to
$4,000.
Three per cent on any amount in ex-
cess Of $4,000 and up to $120,OOO.
Four per cent on any amount in eX-
cess of 100000 and up to S1SO,OOO.
Five per cent on any amount in OK
cess of $1SO.O0O and up to $24O,00O.
Six per cent on any amount III ex-
cess of $24OOGO and up to $:'0O.0OO.

No Difficulty Has Been Experienced

Those who have attempted the use
Of kerosene as fuel in automobile en-
gines are aware of the impossibility of.
starting on this fuel, and the neces-
|sity of providing gasoline for use until
the engine warns up. To provide a
convenient and reliable means Of do
Ing this, an additi onal carburetor, and q
small auxiliary container for gasoline
were fitted to a delivery car, and have
given good results.
Briefly, the installation and opera
ton Of the system are as follows: An
other carburetor, similar to the one on
the car, was obtained. The intake
manifold was removed, and was faced
Oft at its dividing point to take the.
carburetor f1ange. At the center Of
the face thus made an inlet hole was
drilled to match the carburetOr orifice.
and at either side two bolt holes were
tapped to correspond with the holes in
the carburetor flange. At one end Of
the main fuel tank, flat gasoline res

was placed, as the container for the
gasoline supply. 1t was connected to
the extra carburetor installed on the
side of the intake manifold.
The main tank, fuel pipe, and carbu-
rotor control on the steering column
remained unchanged. The control for.
the additional carburetor was mounted
on the dash; and consisted Of a direct
rod connection to the throttle and q
friction control lever. The adjusting
screws on the throttle valves Of both

these valves closed entirely when the
operating levers are moved to the of
position. T6 start the engine, the
steering post control Is closed and the.
dash control lever is opened. After
starting, the engine Is allowed to warm
up for several minutes, and the steer
ing post control is then opened slightly
to allow the main carburetor and inlet
pipe to heat, up. When the pipe has
reached it's operating temperature Of
40 degrees or over, the gasoline carbu-
rotor is shut OFF entirely, and the steer

rotor used
The only attention required Is at the
start; once the, engine has reached its
operating temperature, the steering
post control is used entirely. No diff
iculties have been experienced with
system, and better mileage per gallon
has been obtained with kerosene than
with gasoline. The only noticeable
difference was that the motor does not
throttle quite as low as with gasoline,
and when pulling heavily through sand.
or mud with open throttle, some slight
tendency to skip was observable. One.
half the fuel cost is saved, and this
item easily Offsets the difference in
running and the cost Of installing the
system.

heavier grades Of fuel, will work on

other types.-By G. a. sLuers In Pop
