A House in a Treo 
Below is a picture of a tree house. 
It is not up now, but will he up about 
next June. It. is in back of my house, 
and being mine, when we started our 
club I was elected to be president. The 
picture was taken when we were taking 
it down on account of ice and sleet. It 
is 23 ft. above the ground. When it was 
up il bad a trap-door on the floor for n 
passage to get in and out, a back porch, 
a front porch with awnings and every¬ 
thing. The floors were carpeted with 
good carpet ; it bad a bed and a table. 
At one time there were 1ft upon it at 
once. It is strong enough to hold 20, but 
there is not enough room. Our club was 
named after the bouse; it has $1.11 in its

Excessive License for Farm Trucks 
A CITY MERCHANT TALKS 
I notice my farmer friends nre making 
a great deal of complaint about licenses 
they have to pay for trucks. My business 
is in Pennsylvania, but the same things 
will apply to any city merchant in New 
York State, we have four trucks en¬ 
gaged in delivering goods, which run 
probably 7.000 miles per year each, all 
over city streets. They probably do not 
run 10 miles on a State road during the 
wlmlc year. We are heavily taxed to 
maintain the city streets, but in addition 
pay .SU> license for a lV{j J ton truck, which 
goes to keep up State roads we never use. 
On the other hand. I run a car which is 
used almost entirely on the State roads 
outside of the city, and the license on this 
large touring car is $17.50. You can see 
from Ibis that the farmer is not the only 
one unjustly taxed in regard to automo¬ 
biles. The only thing we can do is to 
smile and say that it is all right for the 
sake of keeping up good country roads, 
FRANK A. KAISER. 
R, N.-Y.—Yet it is probably trup that 
most of the goods handled in town and 
city were originally hauled over country 
roads. They certainly did not originate 
in the city, though they may be distri¬ 
buted there. 
A FARMER TELLS IIIS TALE 
1 wish to endorse heartily the senti¬ 
ments expressed by R. P. Isivctt on page 
08. and also your comments on page 80. 
I have long realized this injustice, as I 
am taxed on three improved stone mails 
which are worn out mostly by pleasure 
riders and commercial haulers, who pay 
but little taxes, except the direct tax on 
vehicles, We need two trucks to care for 
the rush of soft perishable fruits, and a 
large part of the year they are idle, but 
we pay just as much per ton capacity as 
the commercial hauler, whose trucks are 
running nil the time nnd who has paid 
little or nothing to build the roads. I 
have been old-fashioned enough to believe 
(hat some modernized form of the old- 
time toll gate might he the most fair and 
effective method of taxing according to 
use. and also of providing a check on joy 
riders and (Timinils fleeing from justice. 
It might also he used to check overload¬ 
ing. Possibly the odometer might he bet¬ 
ter, but I am not sure. Your old state¬ 
ment of the 35-cent dollar has received 
universal recognition and is embedded in 
the foundations of the reasons for the 
Farm Bureau movement, nnd I hope you 
will he as successful in starting an ef¬ 
fectual agitation against this injustice.
