The proposition to place a npecific tax np on til vehicles, including bicycles, the pro ceeds to go to the road fund, is being dis cussed in many sections of this country. Several European countries have a direct tax on vehicles, and in France over $400, CO) was received during the past year from the lax on bicycles alone, the rate being $2 for each wheel. The number of bicycles, buggies, wagons, etc,, is so large in the United States that even small tax would yield sum large enough to greatly help the work of improving the highways. As matter of justice a vehicle tax is one of the fairest of methods for raising funds to keep the ma Is in repair. It is right the property owners should stand the expense of building the roads, but it is not just that the roads should be kept in repair by a property tax. It is well known that a large number of vehicle owners never pay cent of tax, their exemptions releiving them of this duty, yet thev are among the principal users of the highways, aud in many in stances, like wood haulers, wear out the roads far more than any reasonable tax would repair. As to vehicle tax being a burden upon our wood haulers or any other not be so, for if the roads were kept in proper repair mcjr wuuki eave eacu year in norse flesh and wagon repairs more than enough so cover their tax. The number of bicycles and buggies kept for pleasure is very large, and with a better system of highways the number would soon be doubled. Yet there is not an owner of one of these vehicles but what would be glad to contribute to the road fund, if he was certain his money would be so ex pended so as to enable him to take more comfort and pleasure when out for a ride. The tax should not be so high as to be a burden on any one, but it could be so ad justed that all would pay in proportion to the amount of wear their vehicle caused to the roads. A fair schedule would be for bicycles to pay a tax of $1 per vear, sir.gle seated buggies $1.50, double seated rigs and light spring wagons $1.75, heavy spring wagons and light farm wagons $2, while all larger vehicles should pay a basis rate of $2, and 25 cents for each additional quarter iiiuu h'iucu w me sue ui ine ux auuve a '.three-and-a-quarter-inch standard. At this rate the vehicles in Clackamas county would yield each year a sum sufficiently large to do much toward keeping our roads in repair so that they would be passable at all times of the year. Now that the Astorlans have a reasonable rciiaimv ui eiing a rauruau a new irouoie looms up before them, that of loosing their town. It appears that certain wise ones of that citv of exuectations have made the rlla- covery that the heavy purchases of real estate at Flavel by men who are back of the new railroad proposition, means that the railroad company will do all they can to transfer Astoria to the opposite side of Youngs bay, where a new town has been Jald olf. As Flavel has a very desirable townsite, a feature Astoria Is sadly de ficient in, and if it should receive the back ing of the railroad influences the Astorlans fear that It would become a formidable rival to their city and all the hard earned money they have in Astoria piles and hill sides would be a lost investment to them. vuriiicims uy uie set are mining oui inai even such an inestimable blessing as a railroad may have a string to it and not prove what they anticipate for it. In order to ascertain as to what effect the electric current from the street cars is hav ing on the water mains along Main street, the city water commission will shortly have a thorough test made. Should they find that the current is in any way damaging the water pipes they will at once call the atten tion to the street car company to the matter and have the company adopt such measures as will fully protect the pipes. Through a typographical error the En tebpkisb last week made the indebtedness of the East Side Railway to Oregon City appear greater than it is. By the figures given the indebtedness on the Abernethy ' bridge was $2,000 when it should have been $200. The street indebtedness of $5,400.14 was correct as given.
