Protest Against a Bicycle Tax

Albert A. Pope, of the Pope Manufacturing Company, of Boston, Mass., makes a strong protest against placing a tax on bicycles, because of the very nature of the machine; the advantage of the wheel to the working man, who can thus live farther from his work; the impossibility of taxing equitably machines of such varied value; and the great influence of bicycles in the betterment of our public roads. Mr. Pope's protest is well taken.
