The best advertising medium of a town is its home paper, provided the paper be properly sustained, says the Richmound Times-Dispatch. A good home paper, well edited, well printed, well filled with local advertisements, having the smile of prosperity®on its countenance, and well circulated, is in itself an index to the thrift and en terprise of the community it repre sents and an expression of the enter prising spirit of the people. It has now become an axiom of trade that every community is judged by its newspaper. If the newspaper is dull and poverty-stricken, the outsider who sees it will conclude that it rep resents a dull and thriftless commu nity. If, on the other hand, it is live in all its departments, and shows that it is well sustained, the outsider will judge its constituency accordingly. And usually it is a fair basis of esti mate. Nine times out of ten the local newspaper is a correct photograph of the town in which it is published and from which it derives its support. This is a matter which the people of every town should seriously con sider. They should bear in mind that every copy of the home paper goes out as a courier, with a message to the outside world. It is for the peo ple to say what sort of a courier it shall be, and what sort of message it shall carry. If the people proclaim to the world that they will not sustain a home paper, howcanthey expect the world to believe that they will'sustain any other home enterprise that might move in? The money spent on the home pa per should be expended in subscrip tions and individual advertisements, for, as we have said, the paper should be an advertisement in itself of the community. But the local paper is necessarily limited in its reach, and in addition to local support the town should appropriate a liberal fund for general advertising in mediums which have a wider circulation. No town is too large to advertise abroad. The largest cities in the United States are the largest advertisers, and if the cities find it necessary to advertise, how much more necessary is it for the towns, which are not so well knowp to do so! .

HOW TO TEST LINSEED OIL. . There is nothing that will make paint go wrong on the house more quickly than poor oil. It is as bad in jts way as adulterations in the white lead. Petroleum oil cheapeners may be detected by placing a drop of the oil on a black painted surface. ‘lt one sees the characteristic iridescence or play of colors which kerosene exhibits, it is evidence of adulteration.

It seems to be beyond l dispute or question that automobiles have done much more damage to the improved roads of the State than all other vehicles put together, and havse, indeed, wrecked som2 of them to such an extent rs to make rebuilding nee essary, and it also seems certain that roads which will be suitable for and ~ will stand the wear and tear of auto-: mobiles will be much more expensive . to build and maintain than roads for~ other vehicles. Therefore, it is not . unreasonably argued, those who use automobiles ought to make a sub stantial contribution to the increase in the cost of roads which will be in curred on their sole account. That !principle conceded, it naturally fol- I lows that the big, heavy and swift au tomobiles, which do most of the dam age and which require a special kind of road, should pay more than the small omes, which do little if any | damage. The questions of the proper amount of the license fees and their proper graduation according to the size and power of the machin2s, how ever, are not readily to be answered, and it is prcbable that the bill as it now stands nesds some amendment in thosa respects. The ‘suggsstion has also been of fered, though we do not know that any serious effort is likely soon to be made to put it into effect,” that taxzes should be levied upon all vehicles using the public highways, graduated according to the size, weight and style of the vehicles. That also has something to commend it. Funds must be procured for the construction and maintenanc,é/of roads, and it would seem to be appropriate that these should chiefly be provided by those who use the roadsandin propor tion to the amount of use which they make of them. The old system lavied a direct road’ tax, generally paid In work, upon each taxpayver who was a land owner, in proportion to his gen erdl tax. The same system still pre vails, save that working cut is ahol ished and the tax is now paid in cash. But it is obvious that a man may own much property and pay heavy taxes and yet make little or no use of the roads, while one who owns little land may make much use of them. Generally speaking, the man who owns the greatest number of vehicles makes the greatest use -of the roads, so that a tax based upon the former would most equitably pay for the latter. The objection may be raised that a tax upon wheels would be a partial or a class tax, which would bs odious. There is_no probiem in all the com plex science of government more ptiz zling than that of taxation or mors ‘difficult to solve to universal satisfac tion. Proverbially ali taxes are odious, yet certainly taxes of some kind are necessary. No doubt taxation for general purposes, fer the common benefit, should be levied as generally and impartially -as possible. But there is much ground for arguingz that public expenditures which are chiefly for the benefit of a certain part of the community should chiefly be met by taxes levied upon those beneficiaries. That is a rule already adopted in some directions, and soon er or later it may be found expedient to adopt it in respect to public roads. —New York Times. Maryland Roads. Most of the Maryland counties have been very cautious in the mat ter of creating bonded debts. When such loans have been floated they have generally been for aggregate sums that are not large in propor tion to county wealth, as indicated by the assessed taxable basis. The road systems of the counties are generally, provided for from the annual tax levies, and it is generally conceded that the method is one of makeshifts and poor economics. The repairs that are made in the summer time go to work, over and over, year after year, during the succeeding winters. From time to time the question of a system of permanent and sul_astan tiak road construction has been raised in one Maryland County or another, but the conclusion arrived at has been with few, if any, exceptions that good roads are too costly to be paid for out of the annual tax fund, and coun ty boards apparently stand over awed when a suggestion of creating a road-building fund by a bonded loan is made.—Baltimore American. In Connecticut. ; James H. MacDonald, State IHigh way Commissioner of Connecticut, has ordered that a survey be made at once of roads in the northern part of the State. The work will be started soon. Improvements are planned for stretches of road in sev eral towns on the east side of the river on the road to Springfield. The Commissioner is planning to have the road from Hartford to the State line macadamized before ‘the middle of next summer. s et et e ———| . Tugging the Elephant.
