TRUCKS AS MONEY
MAKERS FOE OWNERS

A striking illustration OF the importance
Of medium capacity motor trucks in the
delivery field is given IN a letter recently
received by a truck company from a de-
partment store firm In one Of the largest
cities OF the middle west According 20 the
statement Of the superintendent o. delivery
Tor this firm. there has been a u percent
Increase IN business. with a SO percent say
ing in operation and maintenance cost in
two months service OF a Willys-Uulity
tEree-quarter ton truck. over the three horse
and wagon outfits which It replaced.
The letter states that in eight weeks the
truck has delivered 92f6 packages per
month. as against 532S packages delivered
by the horse drawn wagons, and at the
same time the cost Of delivery per package
has dropped from 81 cents 20 ? $40 cents
For the purpose OF comparison. the depart
ment store officials has placed a value OF
81 each on the packages delivered, a net
profit OF 10 percent on each package Ac-
cording TO this compilation a total OF S5sLSo
per month has been added to the net income
OF the store and a saving OF Sllo-s5 per
month, or s123L40 per year has been ef-
fected in operation ana upkeep costs or the
delivery system. This amount Is especially
interesting. inasmuch as Il represents nearly
81 percent OF the original cost OF the truck

interest already collected" makes the
outlook for the public in the operation of
these companies excellent. The day of
extortion and fabulous profits in this
trade is believed to be drawing to a close.
The corporation counsel and his staff
have exerted themselves to good purpose
in the pursuit of the loan sharks and in
sending to borrowers from these concerns
the names Of borrowers having been Oh
tained from the companies books a let
ter apprisinC them that under the COM
promise agreement they are not required
to return more than three-fourths of the
of the notes made with the COM
panies. 1t might have been clearer to
borrowers to have included in that letter
a direct statement that interest payments
on these Illegal loans need not be made
and are also to be refunded, but the
counsel explains that If
patrons of the loan companies are
not required to pay more than three
fourths of the principal due the COM
panies it stands to reason that interest
payments cannot be charged" The cor
poraton counsefs office has performed
good work and procured restitution to
many needy borrowers by its course in
between the loan sharks and
their victims. Let it keep up without
Tagging the good work. With loan

the main effort of the law department of
the District government should he di-
to keeping it extinsuished.
Since protection and relief are to be
furnished to the victims of usury by the
agreement made with confessed usurers
by the corporation counsel, the terms of
that agreement should not be so con
strued as to weaken or nuilify any pro-
vision of the law. but should be vigor-
ously and rclentlessly applied and en-
forced to relieve and protect to the maxi
mum the victims of usury.

Discussion in the House yesterday of
the bill making appropriations for the
legislative. judicial and executive ex-

but / do say. Mr.. Chairman, that these
low-salaried men whose salaries have
not been changed in many instances
tury. having been fixed by law. it is
high time that they should at least be
allowed the statutory salary, especially
at time when the cost of living is eX
cessive.
Here is a statement. and il is true. that
many government salaries in the small
positions were fixed by law in the long
ago and in the period of a much lower
cost of living than the present. Changed
conditions have necessitated change
OF salaries in nearly every walk of
life. Yet in thousands of the minor
civil posts of the government at Wash
ington there has been no readjustment
of the wage scale to fit these changed
economic conditions. Again. it was
said during the debate that:
II think the time has arrived when
We ought to find an opportunity to re-
classify the government salaries in
such a way as would be just and fair
and creditabie to the membership of
this House, and in doing that we
should at the same time provide means
for taking care of the worn-out, su-
perannuated and worthy employees in
the government service. 1t is re-

A Fair-Play Policy.

Every senator who believes that the
free tolls provision violates the Hay
Pauncefote treaty should vote for its un-
qualified repeal No senator who believes
that it does not violate the treaty or who
in good faith is in doubt on the subject
should vote for unqualified repeal The
most that such senator should do 10
sustain or oblige the President is to vote
to suspend the free tolls provision until
the issue can be thrashed out by direct
negotiation with England. Or he should
accompany vote for repeal by reaf-
firmatiou in the repeating resolution OF
belief in our power under the Hay
Pauncefote treaty to remit or refund
tolls to our coastwise ships.
We should not accompany reaftirmation
of our rights under the Hay -Pauncefote
treaty with the suggestion of arhitra-
ton of the issue. as proposed in the bill
of Senator Norris. If we suspend or re-
peal the free tolls provision without
prejudice to our asserted rights under the
treaty, We should clear the way. not for
arbitration. but for direct negotiation
with England.
ON the question whether we have built
the canal enthusiastically and primarily for
all the world and only incidentally and IN
q minor degree as small part OF the
world for ourselves. the President tells us
that the whole world is against us; and
any student of human nature will con-
cede that on this point the President is
right.
The question whether the actual bene-
ficiary and real owner of the canal is the
United States or the whole world cannot
be left to the rest of the world for de-
cision by arbitration. 1t must be thrashed
out between the United States and Great
Britain, since an ambiguous treaty prom
Use of the former to the latter is at the
foundation of the controversy.

struction of the HayPauncefote treaty

should be equally represented, and on
which no other nation should be repre-
sented at ALL
Whatever agreement concerning tolls is
reached, it should be Enthusiastically con-
ceded by Great Britain that our control
over the canal is exclusive when We are
engaged in war; and that, whatever is
agreed as to remission of tolls, we possess

right to subsidize our ships by refund
